''The Chicago Teddy Bears'' is an American sitcom that aired on CBS. The series was part of the network's 1971 fall lineup, premiering on September 17, 1971. ==Synopsis== Unlike other shows set in Prohibition-era Chicago, ''The Chicago Teddy Bears'' was a sitcom. Any threats of violence were inferential rather than overt. The main characters were Linc McCray (Dean Jones) and his Uncle Latzi (John Banner), partners in a speakeasy. A small-time gangster named Nick Marr (Art Metrano) wants to take it over. Marr is McCray's cousin and Latzi's nephew; the naive Latzi finds it hard to believe his nephew could be anything but a fine boy. However, Marvin the bookkeeper (Marvin Kaplan) and Linc's inept bodyguards, especially Duke (Jamie Farr), are very frightened of Marr. The series was intended as a comeback vehicle for Ann Sothern, whose last regular role had been as the voice of ''My Mother the Car''. She played a street flower vendor in the pilot and was meant to be a mediator between McCray and Marr. However, CBS wrote her out of the actual series. The series received low ratings and was cancelled by CBS after only three months on the air. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Chicago Teddy Bears」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
