The program's announcer, of course, is the late great Dick Tufeld (he passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 85). As for the answer to your question, 'tom', Pharmaceuticals, Inc. officially changed its name to its subsidiary [acquired in 1957], J.B. Williams Co., in 1960, even though its name appeared on the Geritol label until {at least} 1964. Williams' name is on the label featured in the commercial seen here...
I have wondered...where did they shoot the exteriors? After Fox turned its back lot into Century City, I didn't think there were that many outdoor sets left.
George Macready and Ruth Warrick were responsible for some of the best moments in the show's history. They were both Hollywood veterans and it really showed! The show suffered without those two.
This was also Mia Farrow's last year on the show, and she went on to do movies. Unfortunately, Rosemary's Baby broke up her marriage to Frank Sinatra. He did not want her to make that movie. But she went ahead and did it anyway; and she was served with divorce papers right there on the set.
In fact, Frank Sinatra said that he didn't want a working wife. That's why he and Juliet Prowse broke up. She wanted to work and he didn't.
"Tonight's" sponsors include Brown & Williamson [Kool], Bristol-Myers [Clairol],and J.B. Williams [Geritol, featuring Ted Mack, whose "ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR" was sponsored by Geritol on CBS' Sunday afternoon schedule- and Sominex].
The interesting thing about the series was that EVERY episode seen on ABC from 1964 through 1969 was "first-run"...there were NO repeats. That's why there were 514 half-hours produced- even at its peak when it was on THREE nights a week (at this point, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays)! I cannot stress HOW popular this series was between 1964 and '67...it was the "DALLAS" AND "DYNASTY" of its time.

I stand corrected. Frank Sinatra did not want Juliet Prowse to work.

Peyton Place and its cast members were practically in every TV and movie magazine from the 60's; especially Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra.
It was also the Desperate Housewives of that day as well.

@fromthesidelines When did Pharmaceuticals, Inc. become J.B. Williams? Was it due to the quiz show scandals, since they sponsored TWENTY ONE?
