Synopsis

The Doris Day Show is an American sitcom that was originally broadcast on the CBS network from September 1968 until March 1973, remaining on the air for five seasons and 128 episodes. In addition to showcasing Doris Day, the show is remembered for its many abrupt format changes over the course of its five-year run. It is also remembered for Day's statement, in her autobiography Doris Day: Her Own Story, that her husband Martin Melcher had signed her to do the TV series without her knowledge, a fact she only discovered when Melcher died of heart disease on April 20, 1968. The TV show premiered on Tuesday, September 24, 1968.

She gets permission from Colonel Fairburn, who is running the magazine in Nick's absence, to write an anti-pollution article, especially concerning her specific situation. When Doris finishes the story, she and Colonel Fairburn come to an unwanted epiphany: Fedderson is a subsidiary of Amalgamated Limited, the Chair of the Board being Colonel Fairburn.
