@evad41 It stands for NAtional BIScuit COmpany. The letters NBC were on many of their cookie & cracker products. But, because the abbreviation became so MUCH MORE associated with the National Broadcasting Company, they changed to the popular acroynm circa 1954. Check it out
PT 3 see notes below: Kathy then ran away from home because she didn't want to eat anymore butter-based sauces and tracked down Patty by bribing hospital staff, due to an exceptional example of recovered memory. I hope this clears things up.
PT 2 see note below: A visiting Frenchman who had an emergency gallbladder removal while on his way to JFK adopted one of them and returned to Paris where he forced Kathy to eat crepes suzette and attend ballet performances. Patty was placed in foster care at an early age, but was rescued from a life of when her adoptive mother saw her on the street crying and whisked her away. The hot dog issue here is disburbing, but unclear.
Regarding the issue of identical cousins: this is obviously a smokescreen. They're obviously identical twins conceived and born in Brooklyn. The mother and father left them in the hospital.
Bruce Bilson? Any relation to current actress Rachel Bilson? Meanwhile, I just now noticed a major blooper in the Patty theme song images, although I've prolly seen it a thousand times over the years. When it's showing the "two different" girls, and the song says "Zanzibar to Barkley Square" or whatever, they're supposed to be showing calm "Kathy," but instead they're showing partying Patty - oops! You can always tell, since Kathy's hair is combed in towards her jaw, but Patty's flips out, man!
@ShaolinDynasty Seeing the old reruns on ThisTV (it comes on at 5 AM Central time on my ThisTV affiliate WLBT-TV digital Channel 3.3), Nick at Nite, and CBN (Now ABC Family Channel), I think the best looking Patty and Cathy were from the first (1963-64) season. I know time hasn't been kind to Patty's looks (Off screen she now goes by her birth name Anna Marie), but she had been through a lot with nerve problems and I'd rather see her like she is now than in a coffin anyday.
Like the "Flying Nun and Gidget", Sally Field and Patty Duke go on to win Academy Awards on the big screen. Being the only boy amongst three older sisters and only one TV set in the household, I fought and scratched to watch my Combat, Rifleman and Rat Patrol.
This show got me into so much trouble, while this show was on, I happened to change schools and came across twin sisters. Call it transferance or what ever became totally infatuated with one of them and this show is a constant reminder of that.
I remember the spit screening on the Brady Bunch in the episode "two Petes in a pod" where Peter meets his twin Arthur Owens in the hallway at school. Then Arthur
goes to the Brady house fools everyone. In looking up the episode on IMDB In looking up the guest cast, I was sadden to read Kathy O"Dare who played
Michelle whom Peter was taking to the masquerade party passed away last July in S.Calif.
As a seven year-old kid, I couldn't figure out for the life of me how Patty could play two people in the same scene. My older brother told me it was done with mirrors!
@akwaqs They do it by cutting the film in half and splicing it back together. That is why when you see Patty and Cathy in the same scene there is always a straight line down the center of the scene, like the endge of a piece of furniture or door moulding, or corner, to give the film editor something to go by when matching the two halves back together.
There can be identical brothers, identical sisters, but... last I checked nobody could explain how there could be identical COUSINS. Legally speaking, since only a direct sibling could be identical, they're both from the same birth mother, so somebody is lying. Why would the mother have one of her daughters being raised by her sister or brother? And even at that, why call her a "cousin"? Makes no sense.
@themredweirdoshow The only way I can figure is if two Identical twin brothers married two identical twin sisters, and they both conceived children that were born the exact same day, then theoretically, there could be identical cousins. But the odds of that happening, just on the genetical level, have to be astronomical.
@Sms231 Well, since we're delving into some back-engineering of medical science... to even get close to claiming "identical" status, it would also have to: Require not only that both women GIVE BIRTH on the same day (and preferably also within the same hour), but they would also need to have CONCEIVED at the same time, too!
But seriously, why did they write and sing "a hotdog makes her lose control"? If it's supposed to be a double entendre, what is the first meaning? Other than some weak sexual innuendo, why would a hotdog make anyone lose control? I don't get the joke.
@MrCook1227 Simply to point out the difference between them. Kathy has a refined taste in music and food while Patty is more common flipping over things like a hot dog.
it was 1965,they had to get subliminal with it.So when patty got her head stuck in the plumbing under the sink the audience was left to imagine............well,I'll just leave it at that.Back then you couldn't just make a direct reference to any kind of kinky bondage stuff.
There's a Rocko's Modern Life sketch that parodies this open. I've been watching The Patty Duke show at 5 AM; that's the only reason why I was able to link the two.
I think that all you lonely, sad people out there who have nothing better to do with your life than to make sexually explicit comments about childrens television shows and food need to seek help. I am sure there is free or low-cost counseling available in your city. Please get help now!
@Sing4More Oh, lighten up! No. 1 "A hot dog makes her lose control" is mildly sexually suggestive" No. 2 Your assuming the person who joked about the hot dog is lonely and sad, not necessarily true No. 3 It's not a children's show, it was geared toward teenage girls. No. 4 Don't take the moral high ground. It makes you look arrogant, patronizing, Republican & conservative. I'll bet a $50 you voted for George Bush and thought he was a good president.
@Sing4More What is it about a sexual comment that you dislike and find offensive? Do you think making sexual comments implies bad manners and poor taste? Do you think that tonguing a throbbing hot clitoris until a girl spastically climaxes is perverse? I'll bet you another $50 that your probably mildly frigid and probably haven't had a decent orgasm in your life. Very sad! Speaking of seeking help......................
if memory serves me the theme song was spoofed in rocko's modern life in the first season back in 1993 i believe it was the third episode but anyways i use to watch this show when i was 7 in 1991 and kept watching until i was nine in 1993!
@PeterFormaini Hot dogs are the exact same shape and length as the average penis, give or take a Viagra Pill or two. Twilght Zone episode To Serve Man, It's a Cookbook, predicts the Lorena Bobbit severing of all penises, the roots of all evil, for eating animals that root like Wilbur the Pig, plus all creatures great and small.
@MrCombat1965 I agree. I used to watch this growing up. When it was on Nick-At-Night. Along with the Brady Bunch, My Three Sons, Green Acres, Mr. Ed, etc.

I love that Shout Factory has released all three seasons of The Patty Duke Show but they could have left the open title sequence intact. I don't know why they cut the announcer saying; The Patty Duke Show, brought to you by? Like this clip here on Youtube, they could have had this sponsor clip on the DVD Extras portion. Shout missed the boat on this one...but thanks again for releasing the entire series.
I like this show. However what sort of ticks me off[ years after the fact] is that when then show was still getting reasonable ratings the show was cancelled because most shows after 1965 turned to color and the producers of the show did not want to pay more to produce color episodes. talking about cheap. I think the show would have looked good color in future seasons. yes even then it was all about the money. the TV executives were greedy. with only 3 networks they did not have to take chances
@carrychris2010 As a postscript, Patty Duke wrote in her memoirs that when United Artists vetoed the decision to switch to color, it may have been intended as a ploy to get ABC to cough up more money. Needless to say, the gamble didn't work.
@ChristianTVArchive Thanks Christian for that info. I was not aware of that. all I can say as an outside perspective all shows or just about turned color in 1966 . if indeed what you and patty say happen. exemplifies how corporate greed [ even in this case maybe not by the networks but united artists and their ploy . better to turn it into color and the bottom line still I believe would have been good and [although not known about at the time] the show would have benefited in that respect
@ChristianTVArchive part 2 of first reply. BTW thanks A Million for this info. it was immensely helpful and changed who I thought was to blame. thanks for educated me on this. ^5
@carrychris2010 part 3. sorry if this is out of order. My typos and limited space on here . I sort of miscommunicated something. when I said the show would have ultimately benefited in the bottom line . not just for the seasons viewing.. I also said "[although not known at the time]" I mean syndication in the future would have benefited from this turn to color. hence more money further down the line and more entertainment for us.. sorry for my blunder and thanks for responding.
This was back when a phrase like "a hot dog makes her lose control" would not be considered pornographic. I used to have to watch this show against my will. My older sister was in charge of the TV.
@kpmac1 Check out the others shows on TV later in the 60's and you'll think this show makes sense (Gilligan's Island and I dream of Jeannie, for example). Plus it starred an Oscar winner!
@kpmac1 Check out the others shows on TV later in the 60's and you'll think this show makes sense (Gilligan's Island and I dream of Jeannie, for example). Plus it starred an Oscar winner!
It's hard to watch this now, having read Patty Duke's autobiography "Call Me Anna." She was so incredibly miserable and depressed and treated rotten during the making of this show.
@eryops56 There were two distinct versions of the shows theme made. Continue to look on YT for additional intros for this show. Even the music and vocal arrangements are vastly different.
I think I've heard this sung by ALF in the episode where he was looking for his cousin Blinky out in Barsto, California(which it was also the episode where Willie was coming close to getting high by sniffing asbestos)
'...A hot dog makes her lose control...'? :O I thought they had powerful TV censors working full time back then for them to miss a super salacious (not in any way phallic or coital in the spirit of, or referenced to therein, really) SEXY TIDBIT like that! ZOUNDS!
Wow, that is still kinda HOT!....
Identical....in EVERY way you say?...
How much for the pair?
No, just by the hour, and I'm gonna need a hot dog street vendors cart! STAT!
@loonmaniac Yeah, but being Manic Depressive, in the 70's especially, was torture on her. Poor girl. But if there actually IS an actress that deserves respect it's PATTY DUKE. With all of the people she has helped over the last 30 years in raising awareness of mental illness and inspiring those with it to keep on enjoying their lives. I will ALWAYS be a fan of her's.
Ohhh man I just went back 48 years !!! man what a rush...... My life just past me by, it sucks getting old although watching this shows makes it much more easier to escape reality for just a few minutes... :)
TenStarsplus !!! Man did I ever love this show!!! Patty is the same age as my wife and I was totally flipped out over her!!! She was such a hot babe, and I imagine about ten million guys my age back then felt the same way too!!!! By the way, why didn't they show the Olde Engllsh Sheep Dog that used to gallop down the stairs??? I missed seeing him because it added to the hillarity of the show!!!!!!!!!!!thanks for posting this gem from my youth !!!!!!!!
Where Cathy adores a minuet, The Ballets Russes, and crepe suzette, our Patty loves to rock and roll, a hot dog makes her lose control -- What a wild duet! I thought this show was so cool.
After all these years I finally woke up to the premise of this show.
The British cousin has plenty of class and is super intelligent..
The American one ----No Class! and is also pretty stupid.
Why couldn't it be the other way around?
Cathy could have been a foul-mouthed ueber-slutty ladette from London.
And Patty could have been a real prim & proper American girl straight from a Catholic nuns' indoctrination program and the plot could have revolved around who becomes a single mother first.
@BastardfromtheBush The show was also introduced during the so called rock and roll British invasion. John Lennon was a subversive element to America and scorned our culture and traditions.It has been said Britain never forgot the revolutionary war. Propaganda is a very powerful tool and brings nations to their knees. It sounds crazy but maybe that British Petroleum disaster in the gulf was sabotage.
@xxdonaldqxx Lennon was of Liverpool-Irish descent and during his life-time, he said all sorts of crazy things.
He grew to love NYC so much that he fought Nixon tooth & nail not to get deported... and won! Anti-English sentiment comes & goes in the U.S. You couldn't talk to the first 6 Presidents about Brits without them frothing at the mouth. We felt we were 'tricked' into getting into WW I by them. Yet, we are joined at the hip because we speak their lingo & our Laws and Govt. is theirs.
@BastardfromtheBush well Actally the cousen cathy was scottesh. But the sterotype of that time, when most of us of the UK as prim and proper worked for this show. patty attending a cathlic school would have been pretty boring for the show and not much hijinks. as well as the two cousans would not be able to interact the same way in that School. as far asroll single mother. that was unhread of on tv in those days. look at murpy brown and what crap that show took for doing that.
@carrychris2010 You're right! When "The Patty Duke Show" aired on TV. I thought all British people were very pukka and had no sense of humor. Then I lived in London & other parts of southen England for a few years and met characters who would make your hair curl and British people DO have a sense of humor and it is outrageous! After looking at U.S. sit-coms all these years; I'd say we don't have a sense of humor or if we do, it is childish and weak. In fact, pretty pathetic.
@louisa1832 I am no hero on here but I never felt it necessary to cut down or degrade anyone for any reason. respect of others and their feelings and manners are important. I may Be A "Knucklehead" for thinking this, but then again I can't boast the Giant mentality behind your reply. As not to feed into and flow with your low classless self. I will end my correspondence with you. >yawn<
This was one of the sappiest, silliest, most inane shows ever on television.

I love that Shout Factory has released all three seasons of The Patty Duke Show but they could have left the open title sequence intact. I don't know why they cut the announcer saying; The Patty Duke Show, brought to you by? Like this clip here on Youtube, they could have had this sponsor clip on the DVD Extras portion. Shout missed the boat on this one...but thanks again for releasing the entire series.

I like this show. However what sort of ticks me off[ years after the fact] is that when then show was still getting reasonable ratings the show was cancelled because most shows after 1965 turned to color and the producers of the show did not want to pay more to produce color episodes. talking about cheap. I think the show would have looked good color in future seasons. yes even then it was all about the money. the TV executives were greedy. with only 3 networks they did not have to take chances
carrychris2010 1 year ago
@carrychris2010 As a postscript, Patty Duke wrote in her memoirs that when United Artists vetoed the decision to switch to color, it may have been intended as a ploy to get ABC to cough up more money. Needless to say, the gamble didn't work.
ChristianTVArchive 1 year ago
@ChristianTVArchive Thanks Christian for that info. I was not aware of that. all I can say as an outside perspective all shows or just about turned color in 1966 . if indeed what you and patty say happen. exemplifies how corporate greed [ even in this case maybe not by the networks but united artists and their ploy . better to turn it into color and the bottom line still I believe would have been good and [although not known about at the time] the show would have benefited in that respect

@carrychris2010 part 3. sorry if this is out of order. My typos and limited space on here . I sort of miscommunicated something. when I said the show would have ultimately benefited in the bottom line . not just for the seasons viewing.. I also said "[although not known at the time]" I mean syndication in the future would have benefited from this turn to color. hence more money further down the line and more entertainment for us.. sorry for my blunder and thanks for responding.

This was back when a phrase like "a hot dog makes her lose control" would not be considered pornographic. I used to have to watch this show against my will. My older sister was in charge of the TV.

@loonmaniac Yeah, but being Manic Depressive, in the 70's especially, was torture on her. Poor girl. But if there actually IS an actress that deserves respect it's PATTY DUKE. With all of the people she has helped over the last 30 years in raising awareness of mental illness and inspiring those with it to keep on enjoying their lives. I will ALWAYS be a fan of her's.

After all these years I finally woke up to the premise of this show.
The British cousin has plenty of class and is super intelligent..
The American one ----No Class! and is also pretty stupid.
Why couldn't it be the other way around?
Cathy could have been a foul-mouthed ueber-slutty ladette from London.
And Patty could have been a real prim & proper American girl straight from a Catholic nuns' indoctrination program and the plot could have revolved around who becomes a single mother first.

@BastardfromtheBush The show was also introduced during the so called rock and roll British invasion. John Lennon was a subversive element to America and scorned our culture and traditions.It has been said Britain never forgot the revolutionary war. Propaganda is a very powerful tool and brings nations to their knees. It sounds crazy but maybe that British Petroleum disaster in the gulf was sabotage.

@xxdonaldqxx Lennon was of Liverpool-Irish descent and during his life-time, he said all sorts of crazy things.
He grew to love NYC so much that he fought Nixon tooth & nail not to get deported... and won! Anti-English sentiment comes & goes in the U.S. You couldn't talk to the first 6 Presidents about Brits without them frothing at the mouth. We felt we were 'tricked' into getting into WW I by them. Yet, we are joined at the hip because we speak their lingo & our Laws and Govt. is theirs.

@BastardfromtheBush well Actally the cousen cathy was scottesh. But the sterotype of that time, when most of us of the UK as prim and proper worked for this show. patty attending a cathlic school would have been pretty boring for the show and not much hijinks. as well as the two cousans would not be able to interact the same way in that School. as far asroll single mother. that was unhread of on tv in those days. look at murpy brown and what crap that show took for doing that.
carrychris2010 1 year ago
@carrychris2010 You're right! When "The Patty Duke Show" aired on TV. I thought all British people were very pukka and had no sense of humor. Then I lived in London & other parts of southen England for a few years and met characters who would make your hair curl and British people DO have a sense of humor and it is outrageous! After looking at U.S. sit-coms all these years; I'd say we don't have a sense of humor or if we do, it is childish and weak. In fact, pretty pathetic.
