Original network CBS

Original release September 19, 1970 – March 6, 1972


Arnie is a television sitcom that ran for two seasons (1970–72) on the CBS network. It starred Herschel Bernardi, Sue Ane Langdon, and Roger Bowen.

Bernardi played the title character, Arnie Nuvo, a longtime blue collar employee at the fictitious Continental Flange Company, who overnight was promoted to an executive position. The story lines mainly focused on this fish-out-of-water situation, and on Arnie's sometimes-problematic relationship with his well-meaning but wealthy and eccentric boss, Hamilton Majors Jr. (Bowen). Because he still held his union card, Arnie could negotiate tricky management/labor situations that no one else could. Arnie's surname was presumably a pun on nouveau riche (which his promotion effectively made him), and possibly also on Art Nouveau.

In addition to Bernardi, Bowen, and Langdon (as Arnie's wife Lilian), cast members included Del Russel and Stephanie Steele as Arnie's son and daughter, Richard and Andrea; Elaine Shore as Arnie's secretary, Felicia; and Herb Voland as sour-tempered executive Neil Ogilvie.

In its first season, despite being the lead-in to The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Saturday nights and winning an Emmy nomination as best comedy series, Arnie received only fair Nielsen ratings.

Windows Open To Let In The Hype

Microsoft Squeezing Most From Promotion

August 24, 1995 By Tim Jones and James Coates, Tribune Staff Writers.

Like innocents ambling about, just waiting to be victimized by the latest in promotional panhandling, we go through life bombarded with dubious pitches for everything from anti-aging creams to Cubic Zirconia.

But most-and maybe all-previous commercial efforts pale in comparison to the buildup for Thursday's worldwide launch of Windows 95, the revolutionary new personal computer operating system from the software giant Microsoft Corp., which is touting it like Wonder Bread.
