''The Farmer's Daughter'' is a filmed American situation comedy series that was produced by Screen Gems Television and aired on ABC from September 20, 1963 to April 22, 1966. It was sponsored by Lark Cigarettes and Clairol, for whom the two leading stars often appeared at show's end promoting the products. (The commercials were also filmed.) It also enjoyed a brief run in syndication when it aired on CBN Cable in the 1980s. ==Overview== The series, which was based on the 1947 RKO motion picture of the same name, stars Inger Stevens as Katy Holstrum, a young Swedish woman who becomes the housekeeper for widowed U.S. Congressman Glen Morley, played by William Windom. Glen also had two sons, Steve (age 14 at the time of its premiere), played by Mickey Sholdar, and Danny (age 8 at the time of its premiere), played by Rory O'Brien. Cathleen Nesbitt played the Congressman's mother, Agatha Morley. In its first season, ''The Farmer's Daughter'' competed against ''Twilight Zone'' on CBS and the short-lived Larry Blyden series, ''Harry's Girls'', on NBC. During its first two years, although the series never cracked the top 30, it received respectable ratings and proved to be moderately successful. In the last episode of the second season, Katy and Glen were engaged. The third season brought some changes to the format as the series began filming episodes in color. On Monday, November 1, 1965, Katy Holstrum and Glen Morley were finally married in a wedding ceremony which was attended by 300 invited guests. When the couple went on its honeymoon, the network censors objected to the original script that had Glen bringing his new bride to a hotel room with twin beds, then saying, "But I asked for a double bed!" Forbidding use of the word "bed," the censors allowed it to be replaced with "accommodations," along with a glance at the bed.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sL00AAAAIBAJ&sjid=jIcFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3515,163122&dq=the-farmer's-daughter&hl=en〕 However, after the wedding episode, the ratings had slipped. ABC canceled ''The Farmer's Daughter''. In the final episode, Katy adopted Glen's sons, thereby providing the series closure as well as a "happy ending." Unlike the 1947 film, Katy never ran for (nor was elected to) Congress in the series. 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 Farmer's Daughter (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
