Arnie was a television series that ran from 1970 to 1972 (2 seasons) on the CBS network. It starred Herschel Bernardi as the protagonist. It also starred Sue Ane Langdon, Roger Bowen, and Charles Nelson Reilly (second season only).
Bernardi plays the title character, Arnie Nuvo, a longtime blue collar employee at the fictitious Continental Flange Company, who was promoted to an executive position. The story lines mainly focused on this fish out of water situation. His name seems to be a pun on nouveau riche (which his promotion effectively makes him), and possibly also on Art Nouveau.
Arnie Nuvo has worked on the loading dock at Continental Flange for years, and is quite content in his blue-collar life. When he suddenly gets promoted to Head of Product Improvement one day, his life is turned upside-down. Unsure of how to deal with his new white-collar coworkers and feeling isolated from his old friends, Arnie and his family must make some big adjustments as they struggle to get used to their new surroundings.
