[1960'sTVfan]

Oh Those Bells was basically a copy of Three Stooges style slapstick comedy. Episodes were filmed in 1960 but not aired until the 1961-62 TV season. I believe 13 episodes were made.

Shout Factory gave us a total of 10 episodes of Window On Main Street as bonuses on the Father Knows Best DVD sets. An 11th episode, the Christmas themed one, was included on Shout Factory's Merry Sitcom DVD. Window On Main Street has a total of 34 episodes, would like to see the entire series on DVD but it's probably very unlikely to happen at this point.
