- After spending most of her life in big cities, widow Doris Martin decides to move back to the family ranch.
- This light and fluffy sitcom changed formats and producers almost every season. Originally it was about widow Doris Martin and her two young sons who left the big city for the quiet and peace of her family's ranch, which was run by her dad Buck and ranchhand Leroy. Later Doris, Buck and sons Billy and Toby moved to San Francisco, where Doris got a job as a secretary to bumbling magazine publisher Michael Nicholson. In Season Three, the Martin family moved into an apartment above the Paluccis' Italian restaurant, and Doris began writing features for Today's World magazine. Finally, the kids, family, Nicholson, the Paluccis' and all other cast members vanished, and Doris became a single staff writer for Today's World, where her new boss was stentatorial-voiced Cy Bennett.—Marty McKee <mmckee@soltec.net>
- The Doris Day Show ends up being two different shows under one title. The first show (seasons one through three) concerns Doris Martin returning to her rural roots with her two young sons, Billy and Toby, after the death of her husband and their life in New York City, where she was a working mother. Initially, they move back in with Doris' father, Buck Webb, on his farm in Covina in Mill Valley, just north of San Francisco. Following a life helping Buck on the farm, Doris eventually returns to paid employment, as an executive secretary at San Francisco based Today's World magazine, and eventually to a move back to the city with Billy and Toby to avoid the commute. The second show (seasons four and five) concerns career woman, single Ms. Doris Martin, as an associate editor and writer at San Francisco based Today's World magazine. Doris' emancipated life as a swinging single also includes navigating a dating world, largely with Dr. Peter Lawrence as her boyfriend.—Huggo
