Jean Stapleton and Art Carney head an all-star cast in this Emmy-winning* adaption of Moss Hart and George S. Kaufmans Pulitzer Prize-winning play. When it comes to eccentric behavior, the Sycamores wrote the book. Grandpa (Art Carney) doesn't believe in paying taxes, daughter Penny (Jean Stapleton) writes terrible plays, son-in-law Paul (Eugene Roche) makes fireworks in the basement, granddaughter Essie (Beth Howland) is a talentless dancer and her husband Ed (Paul Sand) prints anything that pops in his head. So when normal granddaughter Alice (Blythe Danner) invites her prospective in-laws to what she plans to be a well-behaved introductory dinner, her fianc (Barry Bostwick) brings them a day too soon and the real funs about to begin. Broadcast onCBS-TV on May 16, 1979, and rarely seen since, You Cant Take It With You also features Kenneth Mars, Harry Morgan, Marla Gibbs and more as the Sycamores zany circle of friends. * Outstanding Achievement in Lighting Direction (electronic) - 1979
