The writers of this episode, Ray Singer and Dick Chevillat, co-wrote the hilarious "PHIL HARRIS-ALICE FAYE SHOW" for radio from 1948 through 1952. Later, they wrote and produced "IT'S A GREAT LIFE" (1954-'56), and Chevillat co-wrote numerous episodes of "GREEN ACRES" with Jay Sommers in the '60s.
@thevampirefrog06 I liked the homage that "Roseanne" payed to this with the "Nearly Identical Beckys" skit - the music was spot on & they even used the same image transitions (and dodgy split screen - haha!)!
They first ran this on Nick At Nite in the late '80s. I think it was either 2nd or 3rd grade I dressed up as "Patty Duke" (technically I was Patty Lane, but I told everyone I was Patty Duke).. Mom found and old '60s-looking dress at the thrift store and she curled my hair out like Patty's. Nobody knew who I was, but it was fun. xD
this was on re run when i was a kid , real young like 3 but this tunes always stuck in my mind. this intro was just amazing .

I think Patty Duke as Cathy and Patty in the first season (I give a slight edge to Cathy Lane) were prettier than Cathy/Patty in seasons 2 or 3.

I watched this show when I was a little kid, and loved it. We even found the board game based on the show which we never bothered to play.

I loved this show when it first aired! I used to watch it every chance I got until it was taken off the air.

This show has psychological underpinnings . . . Patty's manic side and her depressive side . . . as different as night and day.

My dad went on a Patty Duke Show kick recently... this theme was in my head for a good month and a half, whether I liked it or not.
