The Pruitts of Southampton

Try to wrap your mind around this one. This Phyllis Diller sitcom was begging to be loved, dying to be classic. The theme song was pleading for you to sing it obsessively. For me, it works. Maybe not so much for you. But I like the way she lip synchs "and they have us eating stew!"

Here's the deal: Phyllis and her Marilyn-Munster-type daughter live in a mansion, but they are -- get this -- flat broke! SO ahead of its time. Couldn't you watch a hundred of these?
