    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After being cancelled in 1962, the fact that the series only produced thirty-two episodes prevented it from becoming successful in syndication. The original films moved from storage vault to storage vault over time, and at one point most thought the elements were lost or had been destroyed. Then, in 2006, creator/producer Leonard Stern asked TV historian Jim Benson to investigate the fate of the series and see if he could track down the original elements. After a long search, Benson located all of the original 35mm fine grain films and optical tracks in a storage facility in Los Angeles. In 2012, the episodes were digitally remastered and released on DVD 50 years after the show first premiered.

    I'm Dickens, He's Fenster
    I was 6 or 7 when this show aired. Even though I was very young I was impressed. I thought this show was hilarious. I don't recall specific episodes but I remember a lot of slapstick-type humor. I do know that I looked forward to this show coming on but it was canceled all too soon. I'm happy for IMDb where I could check on this show since I didn't even remember the name-just that it starred Astin and Ingles. I was glad when John Astin showed up on The Adams Family, one of my favorites as a child. I was sorry that Marty Ingles didn't show up again, at least on anything I might have watched as a kid. It would be great if someone would dig up the old episodes, there wasn't many I'm sure, and make them available. It says a lot that I remembered aspects of this show, the actors and that they were carpenters, from when I was so very young -esp. since its run was so short-lived.
