The Courtship of Eddie's Father does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The Courtship of Eddie's Father is an American television sitcom based on the 1963 movie of the same name, which was based on the book written by Mark Toby. It tells the story of a widower, Tom Corbett, who is a magazine publisher, and his son, Eddie, who believes his father should marry, and manipulates situations surrounding the women his father is interested in. ABC had acquired the rights to the story; the series debuted on September 17, 1969, and was last broadcast on March 1, 1972. Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (1969–1972), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and The Courtship of Eddie's Father holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, The Courtship of Eddie's Father is a strong candidate — fans of Big City Greens will recognise the sensibility immediately. The writing is sharp without being exhausting, and the jokes land because they are grounded in characters you have had time to understand. The run is exactly long enough to let the relationships develop without wearing out its welcome. Put it on on a weeknight when you need something that is not going to demand your full concentration, then find it demanding your full concentration. This is what good comedy does.
