The Patty Duke Show – The Complete First Season

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 BewitchedBewitched reviews, Gidget, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and more), The Patty Duke Show managed a fairly impressive run and was a lot of fun.

The complete first season release, which may be worth it to some for the pilot alone, is really a nice treatment considering the relative obscurity of the show today. 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.

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 WorkerThe Miracle Worker reviews, 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!
