Synopsis
Arthur and Ron Harper star as Patricia and Paul Marshall, a mother-son team of lawyers in Los Angeles. Richard Conte appeared as Richie Wells, a former gangster romantically interested in Patricia, who is ten years his senior. Leonard Stone appeared as Morton, the Marshalls' chauffeur.
Notable guest stars include: Mickey Rooney, Clint Howard, Olan Soule, Michael Constantine, Dick Wilson, and Ray Bolger.
Reception
The Jean Arthur Show had a potentially good time slot, following the initial season of Family Affair and preceding Steve Allen's I've Got a Secret quiz program. Its competition was two series in their second seasons, Barbara Stanwyck's ABC western, The Big Valley, and Ben Gazzara's NBC drama Run for Your Life.
However, the series ranked 65th in ratings, and was canceled by CBS after twelve episodes.
