He & She(1967)

He & She is an American sitcom that premiered on CBS during the 1967–1968 season. The show earned praise from broadcast historians for its sophisticated comedic approach, which helped pave the way for the acclaimed MTM sitcoms of the 1970s. The character Oscar directly influenced Ted Baxter from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, with creator Leonard Stern's blessing. Though it aired for just one season, He & She demonstrated that network television could deliver intelligent humor aimed at adult audiences. CBS later reran episodes in prime time from June to September 1970, introducing the series to a wider audience and cementing its reputation as a trailblazer that redefined what American sitcoms could achieve.
