The series ran new episodes on NBC from September 18, 1960, to April 30, 1961; rebroadcasts then aired from May until September 17. It was Hunter's first recurring role in a TV series, although he had appeared on the medium numerous times. SynopsisHunter stars as Paul Morgan, a 29-year-old cartoonist whose comic strip Bachelor at Large profiles his amorous adventures around Malibu Beach, California. The program also starred Jerome Cowan as Hunter's boss; John Larsen, the owner of Comics, Inc.; Richard Erdman as his best friend, the rich playboy Peter Fairfield, III; and character actress Reta Shaw as Hunter's housekeeper, Thelma, who disapproved of his lifestyle. The Bachelor at Large comic strips seen on camera were drawn by veteran cartoonist Zeke Zekley, who had worked closely with George McManus on the strip Bringing Up Father from 1935 to 1954. Cast

Scheduling and receptionHunter was looking to star in a TV series but could not find a script he liked, especially as he did not want to do Westerns. He eventually picked this sitcom.[1] The Tab Hunter Show was scheduled at 8:30 Eastern on Sundays, under the sponsorship of Lorillard Tobacco (Newport cigarettes) and General Time's Westclox division, and featured a selection of guest stars. Norman Tokar produced.[2]All the episodes had the same theme and similar plots. The Tab Hunter Show followed National Velvet, based on a successful film of the same name on the Sunday evening schedule. It preceded The Dinah Shore Chevy Show.[3] The Los Angeles Times called the show "well written, nicely played by Mr Hunter and very funny".[4] The show failed to compete effectively with CBS's The Ed Sullivan Show, and was canceled after one season. Selected episodes also aired on BBC Television in 1961.[5] ReceptionThe failure of the show hurt Hunter's career. "Hollywood has a tendency to drink the blood from your veins and then discard what's left," he said. "It can be devastating. Obviously, I wasn't really working at that point; so I ran off to Europe and started working there. The important thing was to keep working, to be a survivor."[6] Episode list
