TV sitcom from March 1962 - "Ichabod & Me" ...

...this episode's title is The Celebrity with guest star Rod Serling as "Eugene Hollenfield."

Includes references to "beatniks" and the new, post-beatnik "movement" called "Resistentialism," which includes dialog about how people are "sheep."

There's an obligatory "swingin 60s twist-dancing scene" in Eugene Hollenfield's pad.

I have never seen Rod Serling in anything except the Twilight Zone & Night Gallery shows, unless I'm forgetting something(s), which is totally possible at this point.

The regular "stars" of this show were Robert Sterling, George Chandler and Christine White.

The commercials are included and also of interest, especially the York "Imperial Sized" Cigarettes ad.
