[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439492, member: 5079"] Maybe the first season of TLS wasn't included, originally, in the syndication package? It was very common for those sitcoms that switched to color to not include the B&W season(s). Maybe they grouped it all with the earlier B&W shows. And yes, TLS needed more an ensemble. That's why I love the middle of the 1st season, an ensemble was taking shape. The kids, Mr. Barnsdahl, Harry, Eddie. None where great characters, but they could have been developed more. I too liked Dick Martin as Harry, even if he made Lucy & Viv look old by comparison. I also like Charles Lane more than Gale Gordon, although I know Lane was fired because he couldn't remember his dialogue in front of the live audience. I also think both boy actors were fine, even better than some other kid actors of the era. They were no Ronnie Howard for sure, but that kid was the Olivier of child actors. [/QUOTE]
