Willy is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from September 1954 to June 1955. The series stars June Havoc and was produced by Desilu Productions.

Overview

June Havoc stars as Willa "Willy" Dodger, a lawyer from rural New Hampshire who, because of the lack of clientele, relocates to New York City to represent a vaudeville troupe. Mary Treen and Whitfield Connor appeared in two episodes of Willy as Emily Dodger, Willy's sister, and Charlie Bush, Willy's boyfriend. Willy was produced by William Spier, Havoc's third and last husband.

In the premiere episode a young Aaron Spelling plays a dogcatcher as Willy defends the owner of a dog blamed for scaring a farmer's sheep. Character actor Charles Lane guest starred in the episode as Willy's boss.[1]

Willy followed That's My Boy, another situation comedy on the CBS Saturday lineup. It aired opposite Your Hit Parade on NBC.[2]
