SynopsisJoe and Angela Dumpling are a very happily married and overweight couple who are very much in love with each other and with life, never have a bad thing to say about one another, and exude good cheer and enthusiasm. They operate Dudley's Take-Out, a luncheonette on the ground floor of a Manhattan skyscraper owned by the Bristol Oil Company. Charles Sweetzer, who works upstairs as executive vice president of Bristol Oil, is a regular customer, as are New York city councilman Frederic Steele, Mr. Sweetzer{{'}}s secretary Bridget McKenna[3][5][6] (or Norah McKenna, according to some sources[1][2][4]), and Angela{{'}}s sister Stephanie. Cully is the Dumplings{{'}} employee at the luncheonette and works as the cashier. The Dumplings{{'}} obesity is a source of much humor as they interact with customers, friends, and family.[1][2][3][5][6] ProductionNorman Lear developed The Dumplings and Don Nicholl, Michael Ross, and Bernie West created and produced it, with George Sunga also serving as a producer.[1][2][5][7] Episode directors were Paul Bogart, Hal Cooper, and Dennis Steinmetz.[7] Nicholl, Ross, and West all wrote for the show, as did Joseph Bonaduce, Bill Davenport, Fred S. Fox, Gary David Goldberg, Seaman Jacobs, Fred Lucky, Barry Sand, and Alan Uger.[5][7]Angela Dumpling was the final role of Geraldine Brooks{{'}} career; she died the following year. Steve Lawrence sang the show{{'}}s theme song, "Two By Two, Side By Side."[8]Broadcast historyNBC broadcast the pilot episode of The Dumplings on October 4, 1975.
