He & She

I would say this show deserves special recognition in tv history. It totally was ahead of its time; it would have been a hit in like 1971 or so. cbs was the worst network for it. it was brilliant. next time you are watching one of the thousands of idiotic shows on tv with no humanity and no good acting; think of this. i doubt it is on dvd, but it must be somewhere. it is truly unique. how many shows had outstanding writing, direction, acting romantic and acting chemistry. jack cassidy was insanely watchable.

I have to agree with the majority here. He & She deserves to be on DVD -- I have hoped for this show to come to home video for a long time.

Think Mary Tyler Moore Show. Think Dick Van Dyke Show. Think Bob Newhart Show. The show had that kind of feel, with a small pinch of "madcap" added.

Jack Cassidy was a pompous precursor of Ted Baxter, Kenneth Marrs was as amiable and gently insane as ever, Paula Prentiss was a funny beautiful woman, a bit dingy, but not "whacky". Dick and Paula played a wonderful straight counterpart to the others.

My memory is dim, not having seen this show for a Jillion years, but I remember many scenes, and I know I always felt satisfied after watching it.

Bring it to DVD!!

Someone should rerun "He & She" on a regular basis (are you listening, TV Land?) because it's one of the true underrated gems in TV sitcom history. The cast and the writing are all first-rate, and it's one of the few sitcoms of the '60s to be filmed in front of a live studio audience, which means there's no annoying laugh track. It really is a forerunner of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Cheers", and perhaps it came along too soon. But it's a witty, intelligent show that tried to do something different. I've caught a few episodes of it here and there. (TV Land used to run an occasional episode every once in a while, usually part of a "box set" of shows with a common theme.) "He & She" deserves to be seen again.

What an amazing show. I was 11 when this was on and I had to pull every con game imaginable to get to stay up late enough to watch it. Prentiss and Benjamin were great together, having the real chemistry of actual married people (they were and still are, wed). They were funny and a pleasure to watch. Hamilton Camp was hilarious, too, but best of all was Jack Cassidy (father of David and Shaun) as the ultimate Hollywood schnorrer. I loved this and was really upset when it got axed, basically because the show that came on before it was a completely dud. For a while there was talk about reviving it, but it never happened. Produced by David Davis who was one of the geniuses who created the first "Mary Tyler Moore Show", this had much the same flavor. One of the funniest episodes of the latter series was where Jack Cassidy appeared as Ted Knight's ultra-competitive brother. If you ever get the opportunity to see episodes of "He & She", don't pass it up.

I was only 9 when this was on but I remember it very well. It was one of those true comedies that just flowed so well and was funny naturally. I mean that it is like "Mad about You" in that it got it's humour from real life married situations. One of first true universal comedies on TV.

The chemistry between real life husband & wife Richard Benjaman and Paula Prentiss is a marvel to watch. Then you add in a cast of characters, leading off with the hilarious Jack Cassidy (father of David) and you get a classic sitcom that for some stupid reason did not get renewed for a second season. WHY NOT??

EMMY nominated for Best Actor In A Comedy-Benjaman, Best Actress In A Comedy-Prentiss, Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy-Cassidy and two Best Comedy Writing Emmys(got one).

It would not have been nominated if it wasn't good people. I only hope that I get the chance, as well as others, to see it once again and it get the praise it deserves. Definitely ahead of it's time. WATCH IT!!
