What happens

The Tycoon is an American sitcom television series that was broadcast by ABC. It starred Walter Brennan as a cantankerous tycoon and Van Williams as his young assistant. The series was broadcast Tuesday nights at 9:00 to 9:30 p.m., and lasted from September 15, 1964 until September 7, 1965. Van Williams was signed to the series to provide the romantic interest, and he took the part to learn comedy. Walter Brennan claimed the character he played in The Tycoon had more in common with himself then any other character he had played. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
