Harry's Girls is an American sitcom which aired on NBC from September 13, 1963 to January 3, 1964.
Harry's Girls was based on the film Les Girls (1957). Harry Burns sang, danced, and managed a vaudeville troupe consisting of three young women: Lois, Rusty, and Terry. Overseeing their off-stage exploits proved exasperating for Burns, and episodes "implied that Burns and the women did not have enough talent to make it in America.[1] None of the episodes had big-name guest stars.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television produced Harry's Girls, and the Colgate-Palmolive Company sponsored it. Those companies' contract specified 26 episodes, but they agreed to end the series after 15 episodes because of low ratings and lack of critical acclaim. An NBC executive cited "general agreement that the show had not lived up to expectations."[2]
Billy Friedberg was the producer, and Stanley Z. Cherry was the director. Bob O'Brien, Joseph Stein, Sydney Zelinka, Harry Goodman, and Larry Klein were among the writers.
The series was filmed in black and white at Studios De La Victorine[3] in Nice, France, and was broadcast on Fridays from 9:30 to 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Its competition included The Twilight Zone on CBS and The Farmer's Daughter and The Price Is Right on ABC. It was replaced by That Was the Week That Was.[4]
