Topper (television)

Topper was a television series based on the 1930's film, 'Topper'.The thrust of the story is that the sophisticated Cosmo Topper (Leo G. Carroll) is vice-president of a bank. He is married to the sweet but dumb Henrietta (Lee Patrick). They live in a house that they bought from the estate of a young couple, George and Marion Kirby (Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys), who died after being swept away by an avalanche. Their St. Bernard, Neil, who was unable to rescue them, also died with them. Cosmo finds that his house is haunted by their ghosts and that of their alcoholic St. Bernard. The hitch is that only he can see or hear them. This allows for a lot of hilarius episodes, as the Kirby's complicate Cosmo's life! This show ran from 1953-1956.
