content

Officer Gunther Toody and Officer Francis Muldoon are patrolling the New York Bronx together, stepping from one faux pas to the other. The small, stocky, curious, but not very light-colored Toody is married to the loud, dominant Lucille. Muldoon, an American of Irish descent, is very tall and lanky, calm and intelligent. He is a shy bachelor who lives with his mother and two younger sisters. Also often at the center of the action are the befriended colleague Leo Schnauser and his wife Sylvia.

background

Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis were hired after filming was completed on The Munsters series that eventually made them famous around the world.
