Series Description

The Love That Bob TV show was a 30 minute comedy series that aired on CBS for its first three seasons and on NBC for the final two seasons. It was about a photographer who worked mostly with gorgeous fashion models. He didn't just "work" with them during the day either! Despite the fact that he lived with his widowed sister and her son, he still managed to be a "swinging" bachelor dating one beautiful woman after another. The show was originally called "The Bob Cummings Show" but was changed to "Love That Bob" for syndication.
