Topper is an American fantasy sitcom based on the 1937 film of the same name. The series was broadcast on CBS from October 9, 1953 to July 15, 1955, and stars Leo G. Carroll in the title role.
Sophisticated Cosmo Topper (Carroll) is the vice-president of a bank, married to sweet (but rather clueless) Henrietta (Lee Patrick). They live in a Los Angeles house they bought from the estate of a young couple, George and Marion Kerby (Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys), who died after being swept away by an avalanche. Their St. Bernard, Neil, died with them. Topper discovers his house is haunted by the former occupants. Strangely, he is the only one able to see or hear them.
The Kerbys try to bring some excitement and joy into the life of stodgy and conservative Topper. The ghosts cause strange (but humorous) events to happen, which an embarrassed Cosmo has to try to explanation to others baffled - and even frightened - by them.
Broadway playwright Stephen Sondheim wrote nineteen episodes...
