Notes
	1 Brennan's second network series The Tycoon on ABC failed to attract the audience needed to survive in the 1964–1965 season though the quality of the program was never in question. (2) Brennan followed his role as the rustic Grandpa Amos McCoy from ABC's The Real McCoys with businessman Walter Andrews, the retired chairman of the board still meddling in company business but acting often as a philanthropist. (3) The first episode of The Tycoon was entitled "Horatio Alger Again", a reference to the "rags-to-riches" short story writer Horatio Alger.
