The Doris Day Show is an American sitcom which was originally broadcast on CBS from September 1968 until March 1973, remaining on the air for five seasons and 128 episodes.

)[2] Day portrays Doris Martin, a widowed mother of young sons Billy and Toby (Philip Brown and Todd Starke).

As the series begins, she has brought her boys home to her father's rural ranch in Mill Valley, north of San Francisco, California, after living in New York City for most of her adult life.

[3] Other characters during this initial phase of the program include Doris's father Buck Webb (Denver Pyle) and their naïve hired ranch hand, LeRoy B. Simpson (James Hampton).

Their housekeeper initially is Aggie Thompson (Fran Ryan, who left after the first 10 episodes to replace Barbara Pepper as Doris Ziffel in Green Acres).

Pyle, Brown, and Starke remain regular cast members, while Hampton appears in only one episode, his character now married and owning a gas station in Mill Valley.

[2] Doris tires of the commute between her work and the ranch and relocates herself, the boys, and the dog to San Francisco, where they rent an apartment above an Italian restaurant owned and operated by married couple Louie and Angie Pallucci (Bernie Kopell and Kaye Ballard).

At first Louie is angry with Angie for renting the apartment to a widow with children and a large pet, but he eventually cherishes their new tenants after Billy and Toby praise his pizza.

Hampton's character LeRoy appears in only one episode; he now lives in Montana and travels the rodeo circuit to raise the money to buy his own ranch.

In this season Doris' nemesis, Willard Jarvis (Billy De Wolfe), moves in next door, causing trouble for her and her family in a few episodes.

Much of the rest of the opening sequence is in the same style as Season 2, with the Today's World staff members now credited before Doris' sons, who are seen playing in an urban playground instead of on the ranch.

In Region 2, Turbine Medien has released all eighteen available German episodes of the first and second season on DVD in Germany contains extensive special features.
