Question: This may get me fitted for a straitjacket, but I seem to recall a show from the early 1970s that went something like this: A father, daughter and possibly someone else lived together in a house after the mother died, I think. The father was an architect, or cartoonist, which required that he have a large sketch pad in his attic where he would retreat when searching for solace. When he contemplated his life's issues, a sketch of his house would take the features of a human face, turn and look at him and have a conversation with him. No one else would see this drawing but the dad. Feel free to send the wagon over to my house to collect me, as people think I'm absolutely crazy, especially when I mention the talking-house part.

Premise: The sardonic radio host and game-show panelist arrived at NBC with a takeoff on amateur contests titled `Henry Morgan's Great Talent Hunt.' The series began as a showcase for people with unusual abilities, but in April 1951, when the series name was changed to `The Henry Morgan Show,' the format shifted to comedy skits (with Art Carney among the regulars).
