Orson Bean plays James B.W. Bevis, who is considered a lovable eccentric by his friends and neighbors, and adored by the children. He likes to make model ships, play zither music, sing Christmas carols and such, but his employers(of which there have been many) are not so amused, and in one day, Bevis loses his job, apartment, and old car, but a family guardian angel(played by Henry Jones) comes to the rescue, but Bevis is difficult to change... Oddball episode is mostly unpopular with fans, but really isn't that bad; Bean is rather appealing as Bevis, and is likable enough, though message is pretty obvious, and supposed eccentric lifestyle seems harmless enough today.
