Accidental Family is an American sitcom broadcast on NBC during the first part of the 1967-68 U.S. television season.

Synopsis

The series stars Jerry Van Dyke as a widowed comedian, Jerry Webster, who bought a farm in the San Fernando Valley to serve as a place for him to raise his son, Sandy, when he was not touring or working in Las Vegas. When he was on the road, Sandy was under the care of the farm's manager, divorcée Sue Kramer (Lois Nettleton), who had a daughter the same age as Webster's son.

The program consistently lost in the Nielsen ratings to both the CBS Friday Night Movies and the ABC Western The Guns of Will Sonnett and was cancelled, midseason as a result. It was initially replaced by the first prime-time run of the game show Hollywood Squares.
