The Baileys of Balboa is an American sitcom that appeared on CBS in the 1964–1965 season on Thursdays at 9:30pm ET. Many episodes were directed by Gary Nelson and Bob Sweeney.[1] The series was broadcast from September 24, 1964 to April 1, 1965.[2]
The series was developed due to network president, James T. Aubrey, believing that Gilligan's Island, which premiered the same season, should be about a charter boat captain operating in a marina. The Baileys of Balboa was produced by Richelieu Productions, owned by Keefe Brasselle, a friend of Aubrey.[3]
