The series was based on the 1972 film George!, about the adventures of a St. Bernard dog and his owner who live in Switzerland. Marshall Thompson starred in both the film and the resulting half-hour series.[1] The series made its CTV debut in a Thursday evening time slot on 16 September 1972.[2] However, George ended in 1973 after its only season. The Globe and Mail's Blaik Kirby considered the program to be "abysmal".[3] Despite its short run and mixed critical reaction, the series was rerun on CTV affiliates for years afterwards, usually to fill Saturday morning schedules.
