"The Don Rickles Show" focused on an advertising agency executive, and his "life and endless problems" with his job and his family. Don Robinson, the  main character, encountered difficulties both at work and at home. His battles apparently did not appeal to audiences, leading to the series's four-month run. Personnel. Sheldon Leonard and Joseph Sandore were executive producers, Hy Averback was the producer, and Sam Denoff was the creator and executive consultant.
