Make Room for Granddaddy (1970–1971)
Worthy effort

I remember seeing this series back in 1970 and '71, knowing there had been the original series. I found it a decent show, and of course, it was more "mod" looking than the original, which I think had been in reruns when I was a kid.

The show struck me as low-key, and it may have been something of an anachronism, which may explain why it only ran one season. By this time, Danny Thomas' daughter, Marlo, was finishing HER show, "That Girl." Still, it seemed like a really decent effort, and for what was an update of a 1950s comedy, it seem to make a fine transition. Kudos to casting such people as Rosie Grier, as well as old standbys Hans Conried and Sid Melton.
