The real life and dream world of Westport, Connecticut's
John Monroe, a cartoonist for Manhattanite magazine.
Discontented with his job; uneased over the smartness
of children and the hostility of animals; intimidated by
his loving wife, Ellen, and his precocious daughter,
Lydia; and scared to death of life, he retreats into his
secret world of imagination, wherein his cartoons become
real, life becomes tolerable, and he is king. Animation
was combined with live action to present life as seen
through the eyes of John Monroe. Based on "Drawings,
stories, inspirational pieces, and things that go
bump in the night" by James Thurber.
Each episode opened with John making observations
on a given situation before walking into an animated
Thurberlike home in which his wife was reaching
around to devour him. The series lasted only one
season. CBS reran episodes of the original NBC
series during the summer of 1972.
