Harrigan and Son(1960)

Harrigan and Son is a 1960s ABC sitcom following a father-and-son legal team. Pat O'Brien plays Jim Harrigan Sr., a seasoned lawyer, while Roger Perry portrays his son Jim Jr., as they navigate cases together at their law firm. The show aired 34 episodes on Friday nights from October 1960 to September 1961, sandwiched between Dan Raven and The Flintstones in the weekly schedule. Georgine Darcy and Helen Kleeb round out the cast as office secretaries. The series relies on a recurring comedic bit where the elder Harrigan peppers conversations with Latin phrases, prompting his son to ask for translations that land punchlines. Each episode closes with O'Brien and Perry silhouetted behind the credits, singing the classic George M. Cohan tune "Harrigan." Desilu Productions, the powerhouse studio behind the show, kept the family-friendly humor flowing throughout its single season run.
