Alongside his older brother Sid, he produced numerous children's television and variety show programs in the U.S., particularly in the 1970s, including H.R.

With no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts, the trio must rely on their only ally, a primate named Chaka, to try to survive long enough to figure out a way back home.
