Sitcom. A pair of out of work actors share an appartment (at the The Fields Rooming House, 214 Brookline Avenue, Hollywood California) and in their quest for regular employment get into many a scrape. The series ‘revisited’ many of Abbott and Costello’s famous routines, ‘Who’s on first’ etc.
Theme tune for season two was The Jazz Babies Ball.
