My Name's McGooley, What's Yours?(1966)

My Name's McGooley, What's Yours? is an Australian sitcom that aired on ATN7 from 1966 to 1968. The series follows young couple Wally and Rita Stiller as they navigate life in Balmain while living with Rita's father, Dominic McGooley. The comedy springs from generational clashes under one roof, a dynamic that echoes British hits like Steptoe and Son and Till Death Us Do Part. Stewart Ginn and later Noeline Brown rounded out the regular cast, with Ralph Peterson penning many episodes. When the lead actor departed in 1968, the remaining cast continued in a spinoff called Rita and Wally, but without Dominic's integral comedic presence, the new series lasted only months. McGooley ran for 88 episodes and became a beloved fixture of Australian television, ranking number 24 in the 2005 countdown of Australia's greatest TV programs.
