Synopsis

He & She is an American sitcom that aired on the CBS television network as part of its 1967-1968 lineup, originally sponsored by General Foods and Lever Brothers. He & She is widely considered to be ahead of its time by broadcast historians. Its sophisticated approach to comedy was viewed as opening doors to the groundbreaking MTM family of sitcoms of the 1970s, beginning with The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970. The character of Oscar was openly the pattern for the Ted Baxter character, for which creator Leonard Stern granted permission. CBS aired reruns of He & She in prime time from June 1970 to September 1970.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
DKosty123 This vehicle had strong writing and top talents in all departments. The real life husband & wife Richard Benjamin & Paula Prentiss definitely have a chemistry that showed in this series. Arne Sultan, a vet of the Get Smart series showed he could do well in this series too. The question is what happened? CBS had so many good shows in 1967 that this one got lost in the shuffle. It is a shame as this was one of several shows that should have succeeded. I particularly remember the handy man being very funny but it was the sophistication of the show that made it funny.As far as attraction, Paul Prentiss is at her best in this show. Years later when I saw her in the Stepford Wives, it was this show that made me remember who she was and how talented she was. I wish she had done more stuff in her career as besides being funny, she is by far one of the most attractive women doing comedy ever.The Hollisters lived in a Manhatten apartment set that looks like the same place Mary Richards used as an apartment on Mary Tyler Moore on CBS later. Dick Hollister, creator of comic hero JetMan and his lovely, talented wife live a Ricardo style of life with Paula doing some great physical comedy during the all too brief one season CBS ran this. Jack Cassidy(Jet Man) is near the top of his career and the perfect foil here. What is interesting with the late actor is that in spite of having a very large ego, the body of work considered career by Jack is not all that good. Cassidy is at his best on this show.I often think the Nielsen families back then were pretty inaccurate. It seems like all my friends & I were watching this show. Too bad those Nielson folks never did, they missed another good one here.
catons4 There are so many shows on television now that are inappropriate for all to see. This would be a wonderful change. It has a family quality that is missing from today's programming. This was one of our family's favorite comedy series. We would love to have this on a DVD series for all of us to enjoy over and over again with our grandchildren! Please consider this one for a DVD series. What do we have to do to get this to DVD? It is an all-time favorite and we would buy it in a minute. It reminds me of an old time family comedy. Every age would appreciate the funny humor of Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin. Their comedy is universal!
zeppo1-2 I have to agree with the majority here. He & She deserves to be on DVD -- I have hoped for this show to come to home video for a long time.Think Mary Tyler Moore Show. Think Dick Van Dyke Show. Think Bob Newhart Show. The show had that kind of feel, with a small pinch of "madcap" added.Jack Cassidy was a pompous precursor of Ted Baxter, Kenneth Marrs was as amiable and gently insane as ever, Paula Prentiss was a funny beautiful woman, a bit dingy, but not "whacky". Dick and Paula played a wonderful straight counterpart to the others.My memory is dim, not having seen this show for a Jillion years, but I remember many scenes, and I know I always felt satisfied after watching it.Bring it to DVD!!
okedjtj This show definitely had a Mary Tyler Moore Show feel to it. The reason? It was produced by David Davis, who went on to produce all those classic sitcoms for MTM Studios in the early 70's (MTM, Bob Newhart, Rhoda, etc). If this show had come along 3 years later, it would have fit right into that popular CBS Saturday night comedy block & would have been held in equal esteem with those aforementioned classics. The premise: Benjamin & Prentiss as the anti-Petries! Benjamin's character being a sort of Rob Petrie with the deadpan of a Bob Hartley & Prentiss as a less-whiney Laura Petrie/Mary Richards (see the connection?). Davis backed them up with his usual brilliant ensemble casting: Jack Cassidy in his most cartoonish role ever as 'actor' Oscar North, a precursor of Ted Baxter (but even MORE vain, if you can imagine) & the great Kenneth Mars (Franz Liebkind in "The Producers") lending his talents as Harry the fireman, who regularly made his entrance from the fire station into the Hollister's living room via a wooden plank precariously placed on the window ledges between the buildings (yet another great running gag). Sadly, CBS didn't know what to do with this one & the show was bounced around the schedule before suffering it's untimely demise after just one underrated & under-appreciated season.Someone PLEASE bring this one back!
