The Brian Keith Show (titled The Little People during its first season) is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 15, 1972 to March 29, 1974, with reruns continuing until August 30, 1974.[2] The series stars Brian Keith and Shelley Fabares.
Keith plays Dr. Sean Jamison, a pediatrician running a free clinic for children in Hawaii. Shelley Fabares stars as his daughter Anne, who also works as pediatrician alongside her father.[3] The first-season supporting cast included Stephen Hague as Alfred Landis and Sean Tyler Hall as Stewart, two neighborhood youngsters. Keith's wife Victoria Young played Nurse Puni. Michael Gray appeared the first season as Ronnie Collins, a student doctor, and Moe Keale played Officer O'Shaughnessy. Keith drove a tiny 1970 Citroën Méhari jeep as his main automobile.
In the fall of 1973, with the series renamed The Brian Keith Show, Gray and Hague left the cast. Nancy Kulp and Roger Bowen joined the series in the roles of wealthy landlady, Mrs. Millard Gruber, and the allergist, Dr. Austin Chaffee.[4]
