Magazine publisher Tom Corbett who was one of televisions many widowers saddled with the responsibility of running a motherless household. In this case, his son, freckle-faced young Eddie (played by Brendan Cruz who was seven years old when the series began), did most of the plotting. Eddie had a special penchant for getting his father romantically involved with prospective brides, which led to many warm and comic moments. Mrs. Livingston was Tom's dependable, philosophical, but sometimes confused housekeeper; Tina, his secretary; and Norman Tinker, a mod photographer at the magazine. Although not a regular on the show, young Jodi Foster appeared from time to time as Eddie's friend, Joey Kelly. The series was based on a novel by Mark Toby, also made into a 1963 movie starring Glenn Ford and Ronny Howard, and had a theme song ("Best Friend") written by pop singer Harry Nilsson.
