It's a Man's World (1962–1963)
10/10
all-time favorite
15 April 2016
I recently bought all 19 episodes from a seller on iOffer.com. Quality is reasonably good, on 10 dvds. Unfortunately the episodes are not in order, but an accurate listing in available on TV.com. There has never been anything like this, before or after. Co-creator Peter Tewksbury had been a major creative force behind the long running Father Knows Best series.

Whereas FNB was generally a tidy and orderly show, It's A Man's World was the opposite, rowdy, disorderly, untidy, loud and raw. OK, viewing it now you could think it's pretty dated, but for me I'm transported back to 1962. We've come a long way. My eyes tear up at least once in each episode.

My favorite episode of the seven that I saw in 1962 before it was cancelled on my local station was Molly Pitcher And The Green Eyed Monster.

All episodes are now on Youtube. I do not know if people who didn't see IAMW as it originally aired in 1962 will appreciate it as much, or at all. Maybe you had to be there, 1962. For all the people who have remembered this gem on IMDb, it feels like family.
