Love on a Rooftop

Set in San Francisco the 1966 sitcom "Love on a Rooftop" starred Pete Duel as Dave Willis and as his wife Julie Willis, Judy Carne. The series only lasted one season dispite of good ratings. The premise of the show was Dave an apprentice architect making $87.37 a week falls in love with art student Julie and they marry. Eccentric Judy Carne finds an apartment on the roof of an apartment building in Nob Hill. Well it isn't really an apartment; it is an unused storage unit. Think of it as a mash up of "Barefoot in the Park" and "Djarma and Greg". In this version Judy Carne's parents are the rich people and her father and husband of course but heads.

They of course have a pair of wacky best friends, Carol and Stan Parker played by Barbara Bostock and Rich Little. Stan is an oddball inventor of gadgets and Carol is naturally a housewife. Stan has a habit of walking in unannounced to Dave and Julie's apartment always to explain a new hair brained money making scheme.
"Love on a Rooftop" was mainly written by Bernard Slade a sitcom writer who went on to write such classics as "The Flying Nun", "Bridget Loves Bernie" and the "Partridge Family".
