Editorial Reviews

Iconic actress Julie Newmar may be best-known as the original feline villain Catwoman in the 1960s Batman television series. However, her cult-classic, small-screen career was cemented with the 1965-66 CBS-TV sitcom MY LIVING DOLL. Newmar portrays Rhonda the robot, a top-secret project of the U.S. government s space program, who is placed under the supervision of agency psychiatrist Dr. Bob McDonald, played by Robert Cummings (The Bob Cummings Show/Love That Bob).
Bob moves the beautiful Rhonda into his apartment and begins the task of training her how to function in the human world while keeping her secret from being discovered, a situation complicated by his interfering sister (Doris Dowling) and his love-sick neighbor Peter (Jack Mullaney).
This collection offers 11 complete episodes of MY LIVING DOLL which have not aired on television in decades and make their official DVD debut. A wealth of special features is also included.

A Series Ahead of Its Time

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Too young to watch it at the time it was first televised (I was only 10 and there is NO WAY my parents would have allowed me to watch such "adult" themed fare), I would have to wait until now to purchase the initial episodes and see what I missed all those years ago. I watched the first episode, laughing throughout, with my eyes watering (tears of joy?). Julie Newmar was STUNNING and the writing was crisp and funny. Bob Cummings was his ever-likable self. Three things kept popping into my mind as I watched it: 1) how much this show must have inspired the creation of I Dream of Jeannie, which debuted only a year later, 2) as good as Bob Cummings was, how much better a young Larry Hagman would have been, and 3) as good as Jack Mullaney was, Larry Hagman's co-star Bill Daley was even better. It's just a shame that this show, ahead of it's time, was not the long-term vehicle that Julie Newmar so richly deserved. I guess Barbara Eden, more cute than sexy (and without the navel), was what America was ready for, which allowed it to squeeze by the censors of the time. I'm grateful for the 11 episodes that have survived, but how wonderful it would be if all 26 episodes were to be released one day!

Funny enough as sitcoms go but Julie Newmar is the real reason to watch.

I wasn't alive when this show first aired and I don;t remember watching it in reruns either, but I do like The Bob Cummings show and the 1960's Batman, so I was a fan of both Newmar and Cummings.This show is kind of like I Dream Of Jeannie without the chaotic energy. There are some laughs to be had and the writing is standard 1960's sitcom fare, but the real reason I like this show is because every minute that Julie Newmar is on screen is a minute well spent. Newmar is stunning, robotic , cute and innocent. I wish every episode was available but the ones featured in this set are enough to spend a few hours with a lost sitcom that should have continued for another season (watch the extras to hear about the behind the scenes drama and why Bob Cummings abruptly left the show).

A Great Watch!

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

I remember watching this series with my aunt when I was very young, it was delightful. I became an instant fan of Julie Newmar. We followed her through Batman as well when she played Catwoman. She's amazing! Throughout the rest her life, my aunt would ask me "Do you remember 'My Living Doll'? or 'Do you remember 'Rhoda the Robot?'" How could I forget. I didn't remember any actual episodes, all I remembered was that it was about a robot, and she was hilarious! I remembered the beginning credits (probably because it was the only thing that repeated every week). I was devastated when I heard the series had been destroyed in an earthquake. Thank goodness they were able to find a way to get the ones they did even if it isn't all of them. My aunt is gone now but, every time I see it, I remember her. I think she's watching from up there. Thanks for the memories, auntie!

A great lost classic, on earth!

This is such a good series for a one season only television program. The premise was clever the main character was appealing and beautiful, and the writing sharp and funny. The only problem was programming. Putting it against bonanza was like killing it before I could live. And to add insult to injury not all of the first season is extent. A 1994 earthquake destroyed the original tapes of the series so it had to be reconstructed From collectors who owned various episodes. Whatever episode still exist this is a treasure and should’ve been I hate series for the wonderful Julie Newmar.

Wonderful show, so glad to see this again!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014

I actually remember watching this show in it's original run on primetime TV in 1964. It was cancelled after only one season because ratings weren't as good as hoped, because some network idiot scheduled the show in a time slot against popular shows like Bonanza. However, the show itself is simply wonderful, primarily thanks to Julie Newmar as Rhoda, and would have done much better in another time slot, where an audience might have found it, as happened the very next year with "I Dream Of Jeannie", which had a similar premise (beautiful girl with unusual properties living with a military man).

Rhoda is a robot developed by NASA for the space program, in hopes that she can be sent on hazardous missions instead of risking human lives. She is very sophisticated, but a bit naive about social interactions, and has a tendency to take verbal commands very literally. When her builder is reassigned to Pakistan, the task of educating her in the ways of humans falls into the lap of Bob Cummings, who is busy with his own social life.

Rhoda reads a full page of text in less than five seconds, remembers every character on the page, learns to play the piano by watching a concert on television, and looks incredible in her 1964 one piece swimsuit. The primary humor in the show involves how her literal interpretation of instruction often places Bob in awkward circumstances socially.

"My Living Doll" was never syndicated, and all episodes were believed lost until these 11 were discovered in 2012. It's truly great to see these again, and I hope that the remaining episodes will turn up as well.

Silly T.V. show that features The Beautiful Julie Newmar

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021

I Grew up in the 60's and 70's , I don't remember ever seeing this program , I learned about it through YouTube ; As a Young Man I have always been Attracted to the Lovely Actresses I seen on T.V. ; Julie Newmar being one of those Special Women ; I had first seen her on my favorite T.V. show Batman . So naturally being inquisitive about this show , I purchased it . I think that the term for these early T.V. shows is "Campy " .
Honestly, I didn't even finish the first episode . one day I might actually sit through an Episode or two ,
But At Least Now , I have a lasting record of this Beautiful Young Woman , before Time Consumed her Youthful appearance .

Some Times Chilhood Memories Fool You

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020

My memories of My Living Doll were of a uproariously funny 30 minute comedy. However, my memories "fooled" me. I found My Living Doll sporadically humorous. Don't get me wrong. I laughed from time to time; but not as much as I expected. The video was very clear and I didn't hear or see anything that detracted from the video or audio. It's just that I expected more from the pairing of Robert Cummings and Julie Newmar.

Gentle American SF sit com about seven oh nine.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

Julie Newmar had first played a humanoid robot in the musical Lil Abner. In this series "My Living Doll" from 1964-65 she plays a humanoid robot, AF 709 (seven o' nine and Science Fiction tv met up again some years later...), developed for secret air force work.

I don't think it was ever shown on UK tv. Bob Cummings was known to American audiences from his own earlier show where he played a commercial photographer (Love that Bob / The Bob Cummings Show). This dvd set includes a bonus episode of his show (an episode where he has jury service he doesn't wish to do).

My Living Doll places the very female robot into Bob's bachelor apartment- so he gets his sister to move in to keep things proper. And the fact that Rhoda (aka 709) is a robot must be kept a secret - leading to many adventures.

That this series is available at all is something of a miracle- it was thought almost totally lost. Searching in dark and forgotten places eleven episodes came to light- and here they are. Black and white, just a few flecks of dirt and slightly soft, but the images were far better than I had expected with excellent contrast and brightness.

The extra half hour special featurette with Julie, made recently, was an interesting and useful addition, much appreciated. The episodes on this two disk set are 1,2,3,6,7,8,10,14,16,18,21. There is talk of additional episodes being found and a second set coming out.

Julie has said that her comic timing is due to her first being a concert pianist, where timing was everything. She was a very talented pianist.

This show comes from 1964-65, and the man-woman situation has changed over the years. They were simpler times when roles were rather less flexible, and some may find situations hard to take- but if you can watch other tv or films from the fifties and sixties and appreciate the talent that went into them, and especially if you enjoy light humour with low aggression, you will enjoy this. As mentioned, the black and white image quality is remarkably good for such an old (and presumed lost) programme.

The DVD set packaging proclaims the DVDs are "all region".

As other reviewers commented, it's lovely to see 'My Living Doll' again. First became a fan of the series in Australia during my teenage years. It brings back many happy memories. Julie Newmar plays Rhoda to the hilt and, although it may seem a bit dated by today's standards, it's a delight to have it in my possession.

Before "I Dream Of Genie", this show used the premise to introduce a computerized female android. A virtual love doll, but so naive, the whole concept remains very innocent in a 1959's kind of way. Very cute and funny. The actress who played the doll was gorgeous! She went on to do Batman on tv. I believe the Catwoman. Julie Newmar?
