In the series, which was Emmy nominated 14 times, winning 4 including Best Situation Comedy and Best Actor, Danny Thomas plays nightclub entertainer Danny Williams, an occasionally loud and cantankerous, but ultimately warm and soft-hearted master of his domain. Constantly being upstaged by his bratty but loveable kids, played by Rusty Hamer, Angela Cartwright and Sherry Jackson (whose role was taken over by Penny Parker), the ensemble also included beautiful Marjorie Lord as his understanding wife.
