My Living Doll (1964–1965)
She Was a 'Doll'
25 July 2005
As mentioned in the info provided at IBDm that the theme of this show was that Julie Newmar portrayed a mechanical 'Doll' of a beautiful woman. Newmar's character kept getting Cummings into much the same kind of trouble 'Jeanie' (Barbara Eden) got 'Tony'(Larry Hagman) into in their series on NBC later. Not the 'magical' or 'genie' stuff, but 'mechanical woman problems'! Was a great series and the only thing I can figure for why it didn't make it was that the world wasn't ready for that 'concept' just yet. When presented by NBC with the 'Jeanie' and 'astronaut' tie-in, it worked...some 3 years later! Nonetheless, Newmar went on to be Catwoman on Batman (and a great one) and Cummings went home to fly his plane, enjoy retirement until he passed on.
