Room for One More is a short-lived 1962 ABC situation comedy, principally starring Andrew Duggan and Peggy McCay as the heads of the Rose family. Its humor derives from their decision to augment their existing family with two adopted children. Actors playing the children included Tim Rooney (1947–2006), a son of Mickey Rooney, and Ronnie Dapo (born 1952), who thereafter appeared as Phil Silvers's nephew on CBS's The New Phil Silvers Show. Jack Albertson appeared on the series as a neighbor, Walter Burton.
Thus, Room for One More and its contemporary, My Three Sons, "were significant departures from the mom-and-pop model of the family" that typified American television comedy of its era.[1] As with the similar Brady Bunch that would debut seven years later, the plots on Room tended to feature "easily solvable situations".[1]
Room for One More aired at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday.
