The Montefuscos is an American sitcom that was cancelled after three episodes were broadcast in 1975. It aired on NBC, which chose to run a total of eight episodes (a ninth was pre-empted by Game 5 of the 1975 World Series) from September 4 to October 23, 1975 despite its earlier cancellation notice. Created by executive producers Bill Persky and Sam Denoff, the comedy centered on three generations of an Italian-American family that lived in New Canaan, Connecticut and their weekly gatherings for Sunday dinner. It led off a Thursday prime time schedule that also featured new programs Fay, Ellery Queen and Medical Story.
