Doris Day, the most popular female motion picture star in history, made her television debut in a weekly comedy series that ran for five seasons on CBS-TV.
THE DORIS DAY SHOW (1968-1973) presents the beloved actress-singer-animal rights leader as Doris Martin, a widow raising two young sons on the farm of her father Buck Webb, played by Denver Pyle. James Hampton portrays handyman Leroy B. Simpson.
Envious of Billy's Little League uniform, Toby announces that he has a uniform as well, referring to a choir robe, despite the fact that try-outs for the choir haven't yet taken place.
Doris is approached by the school committee to enlist businessman Henry R. Pritchard to supply milk to the children at school for free with the condition that she and her boys become part of the advertising campaign.
Leroy has hopes of becoming a country composer when a publisher accepts his song "Weeds in the Garden of My Heart." But the hired hand has paid $50 for the big break, and Doris fears he's the victim of fraud.
Doris and Aggie reminisce about how Leroy showed up at the ranch. The handyman made such a lasting impression on the boys but Grandpa found him to be incompetent.
Leroy becomes an obsessive bookworm and a fiend for 19th-century verse. His ulterior motive is a lovely librarian who has invited him to a meeting of the local poetry club.
The Martin boys excitedly prepare for their first camping trip with Grandpa Buck and his old friend Joe Whitecloud but the excursion is threatened by a brewing feud between the veteran outdoorsmen.
