My Living Doll is an American science fiction sitcom that aired for 26 episodes on CBS from September 27th, 1964 to March 17th, 1965.  This series was produced by Jack Chertok and was filmed at Desilu studios by Jack Chertok Television, Inc., in association with the CBS Television Network.  The series was unusual in that it was bought by the network without a formal pilot film (at the request of CBS’ president, James T. Aubrey), due to the success of Chertok’s previous series, My Favorite Martian.

The series starred Bob Cummings as Dr. Bob McDonald, a psychiatrist who is given care of Rhoda Miller, a lifelike android (played by Julie Newmar) in the form of a sexy, Amazonian female, by her creator, a scientist who did not want her to fall into the hands of the military.

Rhoda’s real name is AF 709, and she is a prototype robot that Dr. Carl Miller (Henry Beckman) built for the U.S. Air Force.  Through a series of mishaps, the robot ends up in the care of Dr. Miller’s friend, Air Force psychiatrist Bob McDonald, when Miller is transferred to Pakistan.  Bob is initially reluctant but soon becomes intrigued by the experiment of educating this sophisticated but naive robot.  Bob’s initial goal is to teach Rhoda how to be a “perfect” woman, which he defines as one who “does what she’s told” and “doesn’t talk back.”  He also strives to keep her identity secret from the world.
