Window on Main Street is an American comedy-drama television series starring Robert Young about an author who returns to his home town after an absence of many years to write about the people and events there.

[1] Other people Cam frequently encounters include Mrs. Miller and her son Roddy, Miss Wycliffe, Dick Aldrich, and Phil Rowan.

Roswell Rogers created the show and served as its principal scriptwriter, Young and Eugene B. Rodney co-owned and co-produced it, and Irving "Izzy" Friedman composed the music.

By not tying the central character, again portrayed by Young, to a domestic situation, however, Window on Main Street allowed the exploration of non-family themes that would not have fit into the premise of Father Knows Best.

[3] Window on Main Street premiered on CBS on October 2, 1961, airing on Mondays at 8:30 p.m.[1][2][3] In mid-February 1962 it moved to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, where it remained for the rest of its run.
