That's Life (1968 TV series)

That's Life is an American musical comedy television series that premiered on the American Broadcasting Company from 24 September 1968 to 1 April 1969. Starring Robert Morse (as Robert Dickson) and E. J. Peaker (as Gloria Quigley Dickson).

The series focused on the lives of Bobby and Gloria, from their first meeting through their marriage, as their lives progressed, through Gloria's pregnancy and childbirth, as well as Bobby's work experiences at the Miller Chalk Company. Characters often broke into song, in the manner of musical plays and movies. Songs included well-known numbers (for example, Morse doing a duet with an office computer on "Anything You Can Do," and guest star Ethel Merman with a rendition of "Think Pink" (from the movie Funny Face) and original tunes written for the program itself (a probable reason the episodes have never been released to home video, as rights would need to be secured for the songs; a handful of clips have been posted to YouTube).

Kay Medford had a recurring role as Gloria's mother, Mrs. Quigley, who was often antagonistic to Bobby; Agnes Moorehead (at the time a co-star of ABC's hit sitcom Bewitched) appeared as Bobby's mother in one episode.
