Harrigan and Son is an American sitcom about a father-and-son team of lawyers, played by Pat O'Brien as James Harrigan Sr. and Roger Perry as James Jr. that aired on ABC from October 14, 1960 until September 29, 1961. In supporting roles, as secretaries, are Georgine Darcy as Gypsy and Helen Kleeb as Miss Claridge.[1]

A running gimmick in the show consisted of Harrigan Sr. commenting on some situation in Latin, Harrigan Jr., replying, "Which means?", and Harrigan Sr. translating his comment, usually humorous, into English. The exact same gimmick had been used continually in the television show Colonel Humphrey Flack some years earlier.

The closing of show featured O'Brien and Perry, in silhouette behind the credits, singing the old George M. Cohan song, "Harrigan".
