Harrigan and Son is an American sitcom about a father-and-son team of lawyers played by Pat O'Brien as James Harrigan Sr. and Roger Perry as James Jr. airing on ABC from October 14, 1960, until September 29, 1961. In supporting roles, as secretaries, are Georgine Darcy as Gypsy and Helen Kleeb as Miss Claridge.[1]
A running gag in the show consisted of Harrigan Sr. commenting on some situation in Latin, Harrigan Jr. replying, "Which means?" and Harrigan Sr. translating his comment, usually humorous, into English. The same gag had been used often in the television show Colonel Humphrey Flack some years earlier.
The closing of the show featured O'Brien and Perry, in silhouette behind the credits, singing the old George M. Cohan song, "Harrigan".[2]
