You’d have to be at least in your mid-40’s to even remember this show. My World and Welcome To It was a very short-lived television series, airing for only one season in 1969-70. The show featured a unique (at the time) blend of live action and animation.

Starring William Windom as John Monroe, a cartoonist who lives through his animated daydreams, the series was actually based on the cartoons of New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber. Joan Hotchkis played his wife and Lisa Gerritsen (Mary Tyler Moore Show and Phyllis) played their precocious daughter, Lydia.

Even though My World and Welcome To It won 2 Emmy awards (including Outstanding Comedy Series) , it was axed after the first season. The show aired in reruns in 1974- which is how I probably remember it.
