The Tim Conway Comedy Hour was one of several attempts to develop a starring vehicle for Tim Conway, who had been a sidekick in the 1962-1966 situation comedyMcHale's Navy and two 1964 theatrical films spun off from it (McHale's Navy and McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force), and in several Disney films, but who had never had much success in developing an audience for programming in which he was the main star (see Rango). His previous show, the situation comedy The Tim Conway Show, had run for only 13 episodes in the spring of 1970, and had been cancelled almost at the same time that he agreed to host The Tim Conway Comedy Hour. Conway had two television flops in the same year.
The complete series was added to the Stirr program library in 2021 through a licensing arrangement with Shout! Factory.[3]
