TV Guide Cover, May 1964
Despite pleas from the Roman Catholic Church and the U.S.D.A. to reconsider the project, the sit-com Brush Your Fangs! was put into production in early 1964. After only one episode, the program was canceled. Weeks later, following the funeral of Brush Your Fangs! co-star, Adam Young, who played Wilbur Toast, an eccentric and enormously klutzy dentist, executives at CBS admitted the premise was “probably off-target.”
