The Courtship of Eddie's Father is an American television comedy-drama based on the popular 1963 movie of the same name that had gained some respect in theaters, and it was also based on a book written by Mark Toby. It was directed by James Komack and tells the story of a widower played by Bill Bixby, with a young son played by Brandon Cruz who believes his father should marry and manipulates situations surrounding the women his father is interested in.

The series debuted on September 17, 1969, and was last broadcast March 1, 1972, on ABC, replacing the short-lived Here Come the Brides series. ABC had acquired the rights to do a weekly television comedy-drama, dealing with a young, single father, trying to raise a young son while pursuing a social life. The show gained in popularity during its first two seasons, as had other hit comedies that dealt with widowed single parents, such as, Beulah, The Andy Griffith Show, My Three Sons, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Lucy Show, Family Affair, Julia and The Doris Day Show. This show also set the tone for other 1970s comedies that dealt with widowhood and/or traditional family values: The Brady Bunch, (which debuted just 9 days after Courtship), The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, The Partridge Family, Sanford and Son, Alice, Eight is Enough and Diff'rent Strokes.

The show centered around Tom Corbett (Bill Bixby), a handsome, thirtyish magazine publisher and widower from Los Angeles who had shouldered the responsibility of raising his freckled-faced, six-year-old son, Eddie (Brandon Cruz), who often cleverly manipulated his father about getting a new wife, shortly after the death of Eddie's mother and Tom's wife, Helen. Tom's domestic arrangements were managed, highly competently, by his Japanese housekeeper, Mrs. Livingston (Miyoshi Umeki), who was diplomatic and full of sage advice and would also look after Eddie, especially his dirty work. Mrs. Livingston is best remembered for the way she addressed Bixby's character as "Mr. Eddie's Father." At work Tom would usually work with Tina Rickles (Kristina Holland) who was his secretary at a magazine company. Very often, Norman Tinker (James Komack), who was the head of another family, worked as a radical photographer at the same company that both Tom & Tina worked in, and who would also become Eddie's occasional uncle.
