Hey, Landlord! aired on NBC for one season starting in 1966, sponsored by Procter & Gamble on Sunday nights. The show is remembered because its casting director, Fred Roos, later worked as a producer for Francis Ford Coppola. Roos found the San Francisco comedy group The Committee and gave each member small roles on the series. It was also the first TV project for Garry Marshall as co-creator and producer; he later created Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Mork & Mindy.
Background
The series stars Will Hutchins as Woody Banner, who learns that his uncle has died and that he has inherited from him a New York City brownstone apartment building in Manhattan's East 30s as its landlord. Other tenants in the building are Sandy Baron as comedian Chuck Hookstratten, Jack (Michael Constantine) who was a photographer, glamorous Theresa (Pamela Rodgers) and her roommate and best friend Kyoto (Miko Mayama), who frequently yells, 'Hey, Landlord!' thus giving the show its title. Other co-stars are Ann Morgan Guilbert, and Kathryn Minner, who at the time specialized in playing little old ladies. Sally Field later appeared in four episodes as Woody's visiting sister Bonnie.
