“MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY” – SEASON 6 DEBUTS IN A DELUXE FIVE DISC BOX SET FROM S’MORE ENTERTAINMENT ON JANUARY 22

S’more Entertainment announces the upcoming January 22 release of “Make Room For Daddy”, the complete sixth season, a deluxe 5 DVD collection of all 32 episodes. One of the longest running comedies of the 50’s, “Make Room For Daddy” ran from September, 1953 until September, 1964. The series was nominated for 14 Emmy® Awards, winning four, including “Best Situation Comedy and “Best Actor” for Danny.

The series was a reflection of Danny Thomas’ own life as an entertainer and the problems created by the frequent absences from his children. Even the title came from a phrase used in the real-life Thomas household: whenever Danny returned from a tour, his 2 daughters (Marlo and Terre) had to shift bedrooms to “Make Room For Daddy”.

In the series, Danny plays nightclub entertainer Danny Williams, an occasionally loud and cantankerous, but ultimately warm and soft-hearted master of his domain. Constantly being upstaged by his bratty but loveable kids, played by Rusty Hamer, Angela Cartwright and Terry Williams (whose role was taken over by Penny Parker), the ensemble also included beautiful Marjorie Lord as his understanding wife, and legendary character actor Hans Conreid as irascible Uncle Tonoose.

“Make Room For Daddy” was unique for many reasons, including how it portrayed the family life of an entertainer dealing with both industry and ordinary family issues. Another reason was its frequent appearances by top celebrities. In this Season 6 boxed-set, William Demarest, Jack Benny, Dinah Shore, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Shirley Jones, and Bob Hope are but a few of the legendary performers lending their talents. In addition, upcoming stars had recurring roles, such as Tony Bennett as Danny’s cousin Steven from Toledo, and Annette Funicello as Italian exchange student Gina Minelli.

“Make Room For Daddy” served as a springboard for then little known talents such as Andy Griffith, Joey Bishop and Bill Dana, all of whom wound up with their own Danny Thomas produced television series. Other Thomas produced series include the “Dick Van Dyke Show”, “Gomer Pyle”, “Real McCoys” and “Mod Squad”.

While Danny made a huge contribution to the show business industry with all the shows he produced and shared his great love of entertaining with audiences in clubs like The Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and Harrah’s in Lake Tahoe, to name but a few, his greatest passion was the hospital he founded in 1962, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude stands proudly in Memphis, TN, known worldwide as the crown jewel of pediatric medicine and a beacon of hope for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

DVD DETAILS: “Make Room For Daddy” will be released as a deluxe 5 DVD collection containing all 32 episodes of season six with a January 22, 2008 Street Date and a Pre-Book date of December 11, 2007 .
