EspañolTHE SANDY DUNCAN SHOW
(Redirected from Funny Face (TV series))
'''Funny Face''' and '''The Sandy Duncan Show''' were two short-lived sitcoms aired by CBS starring Sandy Duncan as part of its 1971 and 1972 fall lineups, respectively.
In ''Funny Face'', Sandy Stockton is a cute young UCLA student from Taylorville, Illinois majoring in education and making ends meet by working part-time as an actress in TV commercials for the Prescott Advertising Agency. She was also befriended by neighbour Alice McRaven and her landlords, Mr. and Mrs. Harwell. The show was a part of the CBS 1971 Saturday Night lineup which included the mega-hit All in the Family and Mary Tyler Moore. Despite ranking #8 in the Nielsen Ratings for the 1971-72 season, it was cancelled less than three months after its premiere, because Miss Duncan had to undergo eye surgery. CBS returned the Sandy Stockton character and Miss Duncan the next season in ''The Sandy Duncan Show''.
In ''The Sandy Duncan Show'' Stockton now worked for the advertising firm of Quinn & Cohen, where her supervisor was one of the partners, Bert Quinn (Tom Bosley). Two of her neighbors, Kay (Marian Mercer) and Alex (M. Emmet Walsh) were also close friends. Motorcycle police officer Alex constantly worried about Sandy's status as a single woman living alone, which he saw as being inherently dangerous. Sandy was prone to try to help anyone whom she felt needed help, including total strangers, so Alex's fears were not totally misplaced.
''The Sandy Duncan Show'' attracted a much smaller audience than ''Funny Face'' on Sunday nights, typically the time of the largest television viewing audience in the U.S., and hence was also cancelled at midseason, with the last episode airing on New Year's Eve 1972.
