George Stoody is a mild-mannered bookstore owner who encounters a hoodlum/magician named Leo Wagonman, the estranged father of his new daughter-in-law Casey. Leo, on the run from a mob intent on collecting the payoff money Leo stole from a Las Vegas casino, decides to stay in the spare room above George's bookstore. Written by Ondre Lombard <olombard@lombard.cyberverse.com>
George and Leo embody classic television themes in a well done manner. The jokes are not like the jokes today's television audiences are familiar with. The jokes are not sex related, but more like something from The Odd Couple or Taxi. CBS really goofed by canning this terrific series. It was great to see Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch on tv again and it's a shame the show is gone.
