From the moment I'm Dickens...He's Fenster
hit the airwaves in 1962, critics' reviews of the series
were overwhelmingly positive. This page represents only
a fraction of the acclaim I'm Dickens…He's Fenster
received from dozens of critics and journalists across
the country.
"The reviews of I'm Dickens…He's Fenster
were marvelous-almost reverential. You couldn't hope
for better reviews. We were considered an underdog,
being on the third network at the time. I hadn't anticipated
this happening on my very first outing. It was very
exciting!"
- Leonard Stern, creator and producer, I'm Dickens…He's
Fenster
"A grassroots
frolic that could snowball...loaded for guffaws."
-- Review in The Hollywood Reporter, 1962 |
"Surprise success of the television
season."
-- New York Times, 1962 |
|
"John Astin and Marty Ingels…Have one
of the video hits of the new season."
-- Variety, 1962

the series, pointing out the superb comic qualities
of the show and cast.
Harvey Pack also highlights one of the finest episodes
of the series, "Table Tennis, Anyone," which
he compares to the classic candy factory episode of
I Love Lucy.
