Step into the heartwarming world of one of Hollywood's most beloved icons with The Jimmy Stewart Show! This classic TV series brings the legendary Jimmy Stewart to the small screen, showcasing his signature charm and timeless appeal.

The Story: Josiah Kessel had traveled from Pennsylvania to California during the gold rush era. He found gold by selling whiskey and then purchasing quite a bit of land and as a result, he became extremely wealthy. He couldn’t read or write, but ironically years later his mansion in Easy Valley, California became Josiah Kessel College.

Stewart played Kessel’s grandson, Jim Howard – a professor of anthropology at the college who travels to work each day by bicycle. He also plays the accordion in his spare time. Jim is married to the same youthful woman, Martha (Julie Adams), for 30 years, living at 35 Hillview Drive. Together they have a 29-year-old son named P.J (Jonathan Daly) – short for Peter Jacob – and a very bright eight-year-old son named Teddy (Dennis Larson). P.J. and his wife Wendy (Ellen Geer) also have an eight-year-old son, Jake (Kirby Furlong). Teddy insisted that Jake call him “Uncle Teddy” even though they were born only five days apart.

Peter, Wendy and Jake lived in their own house in Easy Valley until Jim accidentally burned it down when he fell asleep with a lit cigar while babysitting for grandson Jake. Jim and Jake got out safely, but nothing was saved, and with nowhere else to go, the family moved in with Jim and Martha and the three generations of Howards were now all living under the same roof.

Nobel-prize-winning fellow professor Luther Quince (John McGiver) was a bachelor and a dear friend of the family who often stops by for meals and to give his opinions.

Jimmy Stewart’s star power attracted many big-name guest stars such as Cesar Romero, Jackie Coogan, Vincent Price, Regis Philbin, Kate Jackson, Mary Wickes, Will Geer, William Windom and Jack Soo.

At the beginning and end of each episode Stewart would step out of character to address the audience as himself.

Full of heart, laughs, and Stewart's unmistakable screen presence, The Jimmy Stewart Show is a wholesome slice of Americana. Relive all 24 uncut episodes of  this hidden gem of 1970s television, featuring memorable episodes, lovable characters, and touching family moments that make it a treasure for viewers of all ages.
