Paper Moon (American TV series)

Paper Moon is an American sitcom which aired for one season on ABC in 1974.

Moses "Moze" Pray is a con man and traveling Bible salesman who roams the Midwestern United States in his 1931 Ford Model A roadster during the Great Depression of the 1930s, flim-flamming people with his gold-embossed Bibles.

[4] A gentle comedy,[3] Paper Moon was based on the successful 1973 movie of the same name,[3] which in turn was based on Addie Pray, a 1971 novel by Joe David Brown[3] which was retitled Paper Moon after the release of the movie.

[3] For its theme song, it used an authentic 1933 recording of "It's Only a Paper Moon," composed by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg and Billy Rose.

[2][6] Episode directors included James Frawley, Herschel Daugherty, Alex March, Jerry Paris, and Jack Shea.
