It's a Man's World (1962–1963)
10/10
No Other Show Like It, Before or Since
2 December 2009
I was thirteen when they canceled It's A Man's World. I walked six hours through two and a half feet of snow to get signatures from neighbors and also at school. I thought my eighty signatures would save the show -- I still remember it, and it's a major reason that I'm a writer today, at sixty-three. I kept tracked over many years of the actors. Glenn Corbett went on to discover Warp Drive on Star Trek, Ted Bessell was wonderful on Marlo Thomas's show, Randy Boone was on The Virginia, etc., and I just watched Michael Burns on Santee with Glenn Ford and Dana Wynter, a western on cable. I think he did Wagon Train for awhile, too. Phd? My, that's big stuff. I've just never been able to get that show out of my mind -- it's a major warm spot in my memories. I grew up on a ranch in near poverty, so that show gave me something else to look to. Lovely work, intelligent work! I'll never forget it, and, yes, I'd buy it on DVD in a heart beat!
