The series won two
Golden Globe Awards in 1970 for Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical TV Series for Sommars and Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical TV Series for Dailey. It was also nominated for Best Comedy/Musical TV Series that year. Later in the series, J.J. adopted a stray
basset hound. They discovered its name "Governor" when it barked when people addressed Governor Drinkwater.
Francis DeSales guest-starred as Senator Loomis in the 1970 episode "Charley's Back in Town". The series sometimes featured guest appearances by then current governors, including
Robert Docking of Kansas and
Deane C. Davis of Vermont. In real life, Sommars has been involved in politics, mostly behind the scenes with the
Republican Party. When the program was canceled by CBS, it was replaced in its Wednesday timeslot by
To Rome with Love, which had moved from Tuesdays to make room for
All in the Family.
To Rome with Love was canceled at the end of the 1970–71 season. CBS aired reruns of the series in the summer of 1972. ==Episodes==
