• Mickey Mulligan – Mickey Rooney == Production ==

The Mickey Rooney Show was created by Blake Edwards and Richard Quine. Broadcast on Saturdays from 8 to 8:30 p.m., ==Critical response==

Jack Gould, in a review in The New York Times, wrote that Rooney's age undermined his portrayal of Mulligan, "a close-up becomes disconcerting when the firmness of flesh is creased by telltale lines and the youthfully mischievous grin is framed in a 5 o'clock shadow." Gould went on to recommend watching the program, saying, "It sure eases the pains of the middle years, albeit not exactly in the way Mr. Rooney intended." He also noted the program's overuse of a laugh track. It commended Rooney as a performer and said that the show could gain in popularity "if the slapstick can be restrained from going too far and if the show's other assets are given a chance to pay off". ==Syndication and home video==

In the 1980s, reruns of The Mickey Rooney Show were shown on the CBN cable service. Timeless Video sold a box set containing 30 episodes of the program. ==References==
