The typical roles played by adults and children in sitcoms underwent a dramatic and stunning reversal in this one-season CBS series. Frank Aletter starred as Buddy Flower, a responsible, reliable and intelligent young man in his early 30s who worked as an investment counselor. His home life, however, was something else - he lived with two childlike and thoroughly daffy maiden aunts, Aunt Iris Flower (Doro Merande) and Aunt Violet Flower (Enid Markey). Though sweet natured, the women added an endless series of wacky complications to Buddy's life; typical situations had them attempting to make some dramatic change to the young man's lifestyle (such as presenting him with any one of several "perfect girls" to marry) or putting themselves in impossible circumstances from which Buddy had to liberate them.
