Bea Benaderet played Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction; she was the voice of Betty Rubble on The Flintstones since 1960. Due to her workload, she gave up Betty and only worked on Petticoat Junction the following year. Gerry Johnson took over Betty. This was her third time to be on different series at the same time; she was on The Flintstones the entire time.

Frank Cady played Sam Drucker on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres for a numerous of years. Hey, he had to! Sam was the storekeeper in Hooterville. His work was never done.

The New Christy Minstrels replaced Hazel for the summer.

Vacation Playhouse replaced The Lucy Show for the summer.

Petticoat Junction’s Paul & Linda Henning shared the same birthday, September 16.

The unnamed dog on Petticoat Junction was Higgins. He became the TOP DOG in the movies, starting in 1974. Higgins was the first Benji dog. His PJ human costar, Edgar Buchanan, starred in the first Benji movie.

Charles Bronson tried TV twice again (Empire) in 1963 with The Travels Of Jamie McPheeters, another failed show. The third time wasn’t the charm. He had much success at the movies. His young costar was the twelve year old, Kurt Russell, who became a well–known star in his own right. It was Kurt’s first series. Both Charles and Kurt reprised their roles in the 1964 TV movie, The Guns Of Diablo.

Bill Dana created the popular Jose Jimenez character on The Steve Allen Show; then created the show around the character. Bill incorporated one of Don Adams’ stand up character, Byron Glick, on the show. They have been friends since childhood. Don got his start on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scout, collaborating with Bill, which he won in 1954. Don was on his way of being a star.

Where did we saw the premise of Arrest & Trial before? Hmm, hey, I know now! Law & Order on NBC in the 1990’s and beyond. They were basically the same exact show for a different time. The only difference was Arrest & Trial is a ninety-minute police drama; Law & Order is one full hour. In those days, Ed Sullivan and Bonanza murdered Arrest & Trial in the ratings on Sundays. Even Judy Garland was murdered.

Many young stars on On Broadway Tonight later became successful – Rich Little, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Jo Anne Worley, Marilyn Michaels, Rodney Dangerfield and Renee Taylor.
