The Baileys of Balboa is an American sitcom that appeared on CBS in the 1964–1965 season on Thursdays at 9:30pm ET. Many episodes were directed by Gary Nelson and Bob Sweeney. The series was broadcast from September 24, 1964, to April 1, 1965.
The series was developed due to network president, James T. Aubrey, believing that Gilligan's Island, which premiered the same season, should be about a charter boat captain operating in a marina. The Baileys of Balboa was produced by Richelieu Productions, owned by Keefe Brasselle, a friend of Aubrey.
