Welcome to the I'm Dickens... He's Fenster Website

Who are Dickens & Fenster?'

The names in question refer to the title characters of a witty, physical situation comedy that aired for one season (1962-63) on the ABC television network. Starring John Astin (The Addams Family) and Marty Ingels (The Dick Van Dyke Show) as two construction workers and bosom buddies, this hilarious comedy gem was created by Leonard Stern, who not only executive produced Get Smart and many other hit classic TV shows, but is also the co-creator of the fabulously silly game book phenomenon Mad Libs.

The series hammered out 32 knee-slappingly funny episodes before it was cancelled by the network mere weeks before winning its time slot (defeating Sing Along With Mitch and Route 66).

If you listened to Stan Laurel (of the famous comedy team Laurel & Hardy) -- and who wouldn't -- he regarded D&F as one of the funniest and most highly imaginative comedies to have its thirty minutes of fame on television.
