Vintage 1960s Television Courtship of Eddie's Father


Courtship of Eddie's Father

 

The Courtship of Eddie's Father is an American sitcom based on the 1963 movie of the same name which, in turn, was based on a novel by Mark Toby.


          The series is about a widower, Tom Corbett (Bill Bixby), who is a magazine publisher, and his young son, Eddie (Brandon Cruz). Eddie believes his father should re-marry. Eddie's continued matchmaking efforts were the theme of the show.

          The series aired from September 17, 1969, through March 1, 1972.

Bixby received an Emmy nomination for the show in 1971.


         The television show's theme song, "Best Friend", was written and performed by Harry Nilsson. The song has often been used as an indication of father-son bonding in television and film.
