PETER LOVES MARY — 28 EPISODES

Rare 1960 Classic Television Comedy

Rediscover a delightful and rarely seen television sitcom from the beginning of the 1960s with Peter Loves Mary, starring the real-life husband-and-wife entertainment team of Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy.

After years of enjoying the excitement of New York show business, entertainers Peter and Mary Lindsey decide to trade city life for a home in the suburbs, hoping to provide a quieter life for their two children.

There's only one problem: Peter isn't quite ready for quiet!

The adjustment from Manhattan nightlife to suburban living provides plenty of comedy as Peter struggles with neighbors, community activities, household problems, family responsibilities and his continuing desire to remain connected to show business.

Mary usually tries to keep the household—and Peter—under control, but everyday suburban situations have a habit of becoming anything but ordinary.

A REAL-LIFE COUPLE ON TELEVISION

One of the charms of Peter Loves Mary is that its stars weren't simply pretending to be a married entertainment team.

Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy were married in real life and had already spent years performing together on radio, television, stage and in films. The sitcom drew inspiration from their own experiences balancing show business, marriage, children and suburban life.

Their natural chemistry gives the program a relaxed quality that separates it from many other domestic sitcoms of the period.
