He directed the entire first season of the television situation comedy My Three Sons and also frequently served as a producer and writer for the series. He also created It's a Man's World, a TV series that aired from September 1962 to January 1963, and collaborated with J.D. Salinger on a film adaptation of the author's "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor", which was never produced after a casting dispute between the two men.[1]
