Love On A Rooftop

From: Wikipedia.org
Love on a Rooftop was an American sitcom about a newlywed couple, Dave and Julie Willis, and their humorous struggles to survive in San Francisco on Dave’s apprentice architect's salary of $85.37 a week. Matters were complicated by the fact that Julie’s rich father did not approve of their less than luxurious lifestyle and often took it upon himself to try and improve it, much to Dave's chagrin.

The series was produced by Screen Gems, the production company behind shows such as Gidget, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie. It premiered on September 6, 1966 on ABC and starred Pete Duel, credited at the time as Peter Deuel, and Judy Carne in the leads. Also in the regular cast were Rich Little and Barbara Bostock as the Willis’ neighbors, and Herb Voland and Edith Atwater as Julie’s parents. All thirty episodes of the series were filmed in color.

Despite having better ratings than That Girl, another ABC series that premiered that year and went on to have a five year run, Love on a Rooftop was cancelled at the end of its first season.
