Hiram Holliday

Whilst Googling I came across this character who I vaguely remember from my youth - the name more than anything.

Apparently based on a Paul Gallico novel it was turned into a US sitcom which was aired in the US from 1956 to 1957.

Subsequently it was shown in the UK from 1960 to 1961.

Does anyone else remember it?

No, you old bastard.

Somebody's at a loose end - wish I had time to fart arse about.

Yes - but I don't know how as I would have been aged between 1 and 3 yrs?

I was extremely young too but the name just sticks in my brain.

Yes - it's the name more than anything.
Something at the back of my brain is thinking maybe adults around me used the name as a joke-ey insult.
