Magic Mansion is an American sitcom that broadcast on the AFRTS television network from January 8, 1965, until June 1, 1968. Its weekly programs were televised live before a studio audience. The sitcom was transitional for television because it was one of the last live non-variety show broadcasts and one of the first to use the new medium of videotape. Air Force Staff Sergeants James Mortensen and David Castle created the show for family audiences in the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM).
