Too Close For Comfort
performed by Sammy Davis, Jr.

Henry and Muriel Rush, are the owners of a two-family house in San Francisco. Henry is a conservative cartoonist who authors a comic strip called Cosmic Cow. During scenes in which Henry draws in his bedroom, Knight used his earlier acquired ventriloquism talents for comical conversations with a hand-puppet version of "Cosmic Cow." Muriel is a laid back freelance photographer, having been a band singer in her earlier days. They have two grown children, older daughter, brunette Jackie, who works for a bank; and younger daughter Sara, a blonde bombshell and a college student. At the start of the premiere episode, Jackie and Sara are living with their parents in an cramped, awkward arrangement. Their long time downstairs tenant, Myron Rafkin, recently died. The family discovers Rafkin was a transvestite, and the many strange women Henry had been opening the door for all those years were actually Rafkin himself. Jackie and Sara convince their parents to allow them to move into the now-vacant downstairs apartment. In a running gag, Henry falls off of the girls' ultra-modern chairs or couch every time he attempts to sit down. Despite the daughters' push for independence and moving into the downstairs apartment, Henry proves to be a very protective father and constantly meddles in their affairs.
