The series was a television adaptation of the radio series "The Life of Riley" (1944-1951). Protagonist Chester Riley lived in Los Angeles, California and worked as a riveter at the company "Stevenson Aircraft and Associates". Chester lived at home with his wife Peggy (nicknamed "Peg"), daughter Barbara (nicknamed "Babs"), and son Junior. Chester was a stereotypical blue-collar worker and family man: of average intelligence, gullible, rather clumsy, well-intentioned, big-hearted, and somewhat inept at dealing with other people. The comedy was provided by Chester trying to resolve relatively mundane problems, and inevitably causing even bigger problems for himself and those near him.—dimadick imdb.com
