The Patty Duke Show – The Complete First Season – Win Yours Here!

October 8, 2009 By 12 Comments

Identical cousins is not something you see on television everyday (and, okay, with good reason), but the odd duo played by Patty Duke won over audiences in a big way. Created by Sidney Sheldon and William Asher (who would go on to direct Bewitched, Gidget, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and more), The Patty Duke Show managed a fairly impressive run and was a lot of fun.

On 6 discs, the episodes look surprisingly good considering when they were filmed and the fact that the show isn't going to get a major restoration effort. The set also includes brand-new interviews with Patty Duke, William Schallert, Paul O'Keefe, and Eddie Applegate.

Season One guest stars include: Frankie Avalon, Charles Nelson Reilly, John Spencer, Jimmy Dean and Phil Foster, David Doyle, Estelle Parsons, Margaret Hamilton, and many more.

Leave a comment below, include the word "Win," and you are entered to win your own copy. U.S. and Canada only. Winner will be randomly selected October 31st.

From 1963 to 1966, American audiences were treated to the weekly comic hijinks of identical twin cousins, Patty Lane - a normal American teenager living in Brooklyn Heights, New York - and Cathy Lane - her Scottish cousin freshly arrived in the United States to finish her secondary schooling. Patty Duke, already an Academy Award-Winner for the role of The Miracle Worker, played the roles of both girls.

The Patty Duke Show immediately won over television audiences and ran for three fun-filled seasons, totaling 104 hilarious episodes. For the first time, all 26 episodes, including the show’s rare pilot, are available on DVD in this 6-disc set!

    I'd like to win a copy of the The Patty Duke Show.

    The Patty Duke Show is a vastly under-rated situation comedy that has a distinctive “New York” sound in its first season. The acting, particularly by star Patty Duke, was definitely unique. It seemed sometimes as if there were two actresses playing Patty Lane/Cathy Lane, the twin cousins (and I've never been able to figure out the opening credits mirror sequence). Anyone who is lucky enough to WIN this DVD set will have a treasure in their hands.

    I was and am a big Patty Duke fan. Never missed this show as a kid. Hope this enters me. The details are a little fuzzy on the process.

  • paladin450

    This was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up and would love to win this dvd set more than anything.

  • Appledude

    I love this show – it was a bit before my time, so this is like watching a bit of history for me, plus it is so interesting to read all about Patty Duke – a very inspirational character with her bouts with depression, as well as being taken away from her family, her name changed, and the “role” she had to play with her “parents” who governed her show-biz life. It seems like to know Patty Duke is to love her. I hope I win the CD's for the first season! Plus, her acting in the show, and in movies and tv long after her show – is always first rate.

    Was first run when I was a kid myself. Patty Duke pulled off the lookalike bit to a tee. Watching it in later years, after knowing about all her troubles during that time, it makes you appreciate her skills as an actor. Proves you can WIN despite troubles.
