The mansion seen at the beginning is Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina. Besides "The Swan" and "Pruitts," it was also used in the Peter Sellers film, "Being There."

Oh yes, I forgot to mention this interesting and little-known fact: the footage seen at :01-:11 [as in the pilot episode] was "lifted" from the opening sequence of Grace Kelly's final theatrical film, "The Swan" (1956). The producer figured, if you're going to show the exterior of a glamorous estate and mansion, without busting your production budget, borrow from the best!

:54- "Premiering Tuesday, September 6th, at 9, 8 Central Time, over most of these stations". In the fall of 1966, it originally aired opposite the second half of "THE RED SKELTON HOUR" on CBS, and the first half-hour of "NBC TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES". When it moved to Friday nights as "THE PHYLLIS DILLER SHOW" in January 1967 (right after Tim Conway's "RANGO"), it had "THE CBS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIES" and NBC's "T.H.E. CAT" as its competition. That's why it lasted only 30 episodes.

Phyllis babby! WOW, the two most infamous laughs on TV, her and Fran Dresher. Dick Deacon too - awesome show. Never saw it, too bad, I loved that combo washer-oven!!!

[shmuli9]

@owlydog :-) I think it's really a dryer, or perhaps part of a combo washer-dryer, except mounted in the wall... (Too funny, in any case)
