Ladies Man (1999 TV series)
American sitcom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladies Man is an American television sitcom series created by Chris Thompson, starring Alfred Molina as Jimmy Stiles, a husband, father, son, ex-husband and son-in-law who lives with a number of women under one roof. The show was first broadcast on September 20, 1999, and lasted for two seasons on CBS until June 27, 2001.[1] The series co-starred Betty White and is perhaps most memorable for reuniting White with both her Golden Girls co-stars Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty (with Getty reprising her role as Sophia) in one of the later episodes.
