Don't Call Me Charlie is an American sitcom that aired on NBC during the 1962-1963 TV season on Friday night from 9:30 pm to 10:00 pm est. Created by Don McGuire, the 18-episode series starred Josh Peine, Linda Lawson, John Hubbard, Arte Johnson, Penny Santon, Cully Richards, Louise Glenn, and Alan Napier.
The series is about Judson McKay (Josh Peine), a small-town Iowa veterinarian who suddenly gets drafted into the Army and finds himself stationed on a base in Paris. Originally titled Viva Judson McKay! after the series main character, advance surveys showing that potential viewers thought it was going to be a series about a Mexican revolutionary. The title was then changed to Don't Call Me Charlie, a frequent line of the colonel in charge of the office (John Hubbard).
