Szysznyk (pronounced SIZ-nik) is an American sitcom produced by Paramount Television. Originally broadcast on CBS as a summer replacement series, five episodes were aired during August 1977, followed by ten more during the 1977-78 television season. The series starred Ned Beatty as Nick Szysznyk.
The ongoing punchline of the show was that people meeting Szysznyk for the first time almost invariably mispronounced his surname. An example from one episode included a narcotics detective who pronounced his name "Sneeze-wick".
