TV Sitcom Based on Broadway Muscial

in the late 1960s there was a short lived sitcom based on The King and I. I believe the title was Anna and the King and it starred Yul Brynner and I believe Juliet Mills. It was certainly at least partially based on the musical as opposed to just the source material for The King and I....Shall we Dance was used sort of as the show's theme song and they showed Anna and the King doing the dance when they went to commercials.

Has there been any other tv sitcom based on a Broadway musical? I am so sure there is at least one or two others but I cannot think of them.

Thanks.

I think the series was called ANNA AND THE KING. Samantha Eggar was Anna. Wasn't there a MY SISTER EILEEN TV series in the 50s? I seem to remember seeing a listing in a TV series history book.

Interesting question.

And what ever happened to that weekly "Grease" tv series they talked about doing at ABC two years ago?

And it seems like the new "Grease" movie isn't happening.

I remember an attempt at a "Pump Boys and Dinettes" variety show.

Actually It was Samantha Eggar who played Mrs. Anna in the Tv sitcom Anna and the King. The theme music if memory serves me was the March of the Siamese Children.

There is a book about failed pilots which include a lot of ideas based on movies which were based on plays

It wasn't based on a Broadway musical but in the late 60's, THAT'S LIFE!, a weekly experimental musical comedy sitcom, starring Robert Morse and E.J.Peaker (from Hello, Dolly!), was produced, I believe, on ABC. I don't think it lasted very long. God, what I wouldn't give to see those episodes now!
