This week we welcome a special guest – Peter K Ackerman who is the son of Elinor Donahue and legendary TV producer Harry Ackerman. He has written a new book called Mom, Dad, Me and Classic TV about their lives and his experiences growing up as the son of two TV legends. It is available wherever books are sold including here on Amazon
We discuss his father’s career helping to create I Love Lucy, producing Bewitched, and also his passion for collecting. We also review his Mom’s extensive career on such shows as Father Knows Best, Star Trek, Get A Life and, of course, as Miriam Welby on The Odd Couple. Peter also shares his experiences working in TV and how he transitioned into a very different vocation.
Join us for this fun, two-hour discussion that covers many different aspects of TV history as Peter’s parents touched so many different programs.
