Phyllis Goes Broke

During a party, an IRS agent arrives to inform the Pruitts that they are $10 million in debt and that their possessions now belong to the United States government. But they are going to allow the Pruitts to maintain the illusion that they are wealthy, rather than risk a stock-market collapse with the news that they are bankrupt. Phyllis is forced to let the entire staff go and stand by as her priceless art is taken from their home. It isn't long before Phyllis comes up with a scheme to pay off the IRS – by marrying a wealthy general who's been pursuing her for years. The General is overjoyed, but in the end, of course, her plan backfires.

edwagreen How do you do? (3 times) My Dear. What a surprise! What a surprise! Nice to see you here. The Pruitts of South Hampton live like the richest folk, but what the folk don't know is that the Pruitts are flat broke.These are some of the hilarious lyrics as the show started off each week. Phyllis Diller would come down in elegant gowns singing the title song only to ask for a buck at the end.Diller's comic timing was never better as the viewers were led on weekly escapades. Remember when Diller opened a safe and found something better than money? The audience roared when she announced that she had found Regina Wentworth's birth certificate? Wentworth was played by Gypsy Rose Lee.Sadly, this show didn't last too long but the laughter sure did. Remember Mrs. Pruitt's butler? He was a funny one as well.
tforbes-2 I remember watching this show as part of ABC's lineup on Friday, 20 January 1967 in Albany, NY. I saw "The Green Hornet" earlier that night, and then I saw this show. While I mostly remember the opening credits, I recall that I became aware of Phyllis Diller, and that this 7 year old boy liked her very much.It also was broadcast just before another show that I saw for the first time that night: The Avengers. That night was one memorable night. I would not mind seeing this show again, especially when members of "The Addams Family" cast showed. Perhaps it can show up on TV Land.UPDATE, 22 APRIL 2009: I had a chance to see the show on YouTube, "My Sister-In-Law Phyllis", originally aired in color on March 17, 1967. It was quite decent. One thing I learned is that the series had been rebooted at the beginning of January 1967, and that John Astin was called in. The show was a semi-de facto version of "The Addams Family" because it also had series star Lisa Loring, and was produced by the same production company, Filmways!And I would like to see more episodes!
