Update: Show Your Age

Yes old farts and fartettes!
The show was "The Bob Cummings Show", which was renamed in syndication to "Love That Bob." 
Episodes opened with Bob pointing a camera (with attached flashbulb) at the television camera and saying
"Hold it! I Think You're Gonna Like This Picture"
Ann B. Davis was along for the ride as "Schultzy", she of Brady Bunch fame ("Alice the maid") as was Dwayne Hickman who later played "Dobie Gillis." Read the Wikipedia entry for the show to remember other familiar actors who went on to star in other shows of the 1950s and 1960s.
I watched this show as a toddler, old enough to remember some plots. How complicated could they be - they revolved around his character who was a photographer and ladies man. He and Schultzy took turns diving in the developer tank when plots went wrong, my favorite gag.
