Bob Cummings was a pretty big dramatic movie star in the 1940`s (think Alfred Hitchcock, Kings Row) who segued into TV in the 1950`s with great success. Love That Bob was his second series, with My Hero being its first. Love That Bob is sexist, dated, chauvinistic……and still a lot of fun! Rosemary DeCamp is wonderful as Bob`s sister and Dwayne Hickman (of Dobie Gillis fame). TV4U is proud to provide all of this fun. There`s still a few guys around who act like Bob, but they aren`t considered nearly as lovable.

Bob Helps Anna Maria
Bob Cummings is back as that irascible cad who uses and then disposes of shallow women. Welcome back to the 1950’s! In this TV4U episode, Bob squires Ana Maria Albreghetti through an entire episode of tomfoolery. Note Bob’s maid...yes, that’s the same maid that later got similar work for the Brady family. Typecasting? Maybe, but I’m sure that Ann B. Davis laughed all the way to the bank! Yes, that’s Dobie Gillis (Dwane Hickman) again...getting ready to be a big TV star. WATCH NOW DOWNLOAD NOW
Wolf Sitter
Do you think that Hugh Hefner as a young man leered at the TV set as Bob Cummings romped his way through TV Land and said, "If only I could be like him!"? A crack photographer, do you get the feeling that many of Bob’s discarded dates had the feeling ‘Just Shoot Me’? In the Wolf Sitter, gaity commences on TV4U when the Casanova of the Camera, has to photograph a model who won’t fall for his smarmy advances. WATCH NOW
Bob And The Dumb Blonde
Doesn’t the title say it all? Bob Cummings plays his randy photographer character to the max and had to have been an absolute delight to the women of the 50’s as he felt his way through Hollywood. TV4U presents this devolution of the American character and even Schultzie gets in the game trying to snare an unsuspecting male for her own desires (which of course includes marriage). Where was Gloria Steinem when we needed her? Oh, yeah, still playing with her Barbie doll! WATCH NOW
Bob In Orbit
Bob Cummings takes us back to the days when the air was clean and sex was dirty (but only alluded to in 1950’s TV). The show was pedestrian and predictible, but the theme song was a classic! In this show Bob and Dobie Gillis are in military uniforms when Grandpa bombs the military base. This isn’t made up...but you have to see it to believe it. TV4U video gnomes are sure that Bob Cummings and Grandpa are really one and the same. Double the fun! This could be the episode that inspired a government official to declare television ‘A Vast Wasteland”. WATCH NOW
Grandpa Moves West
For those who haven`t already had enough of Bob Cummings sterling performance as Grandpa, here`s another chance to see it. Poor old Bob has passed on for many years now, but he could probably still do a pretty good job as Grandpa. TV4U can`t resist presenting the caper that resulted in the plan to have Grandpa move west from Joplin to Hollywood. Seems theres some monkey business in Granpa`s life that makes Bob drop everything to go to Missouri to rescue her! WATCH NOW
