Sitcoms Online Photo Galleries - Ted Knight Show: Ted Knight and Cissy Colpitts

The Ted Knight Show aired from April until May 1978 on CBS.

Ted Knight, the handsome empty-headed newscaster on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, landed his own series with this frothy comedy about an escort service in New York City. Dennis Escorts was a strictly high-class outfitt, located in a posh Manhattan apartment building. It was staffed by some lovely young ladies and headed by the suave , middle-aged Roger Dennis ( Ted Knight), who clucked over his brood like a mother hen. Complicating matters was Roger's no-nonsense businessman/brother , Burt ( Normann Burton), who had financed the enterprise and had incidentally saddled it with his wisecracking sister-in-law Dottie ( Iris Adrian), who served as receptionist. Other cast members were Roger's college-age son Winston ( Thomas Leopold), who was trying to break into the business and make time with the girls, and the mailman , Hobart ( Claude Stroud), who had his eyes on Dottie. Also featured were Fawne Harriman as Honey; Cissy Colpitts as Graziella; Tanya Boyd as Phil; Janice Kemp as Cheryl; Ellen Regan as Irma; and Deborah Harmon as Joy.

The pilot for the half-hour series was televised on Busting Loose. The program should not be confused with The Ted Knight Show of 1986, which was the short-lived successor to Too Close For Comfort.
