The three-time Emmy Award winner also created "McMillan and Wife," the breezy crime drama starring Rock Hudson and Susan Saint James that aired on NBC from 1971-77.

Stern penned "Abbott & Costello in the Foreign Legion" (1950) and a pair of Ma & Pa Kettle films before his stint on "The Jackie Gleason Show," where he wrote "Honeymooners" sketches for the variety show and the series it spawned.
