* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Patty Duke [[WordOfGod mentioned]] in her 1987 memoir, ''Call Me Anna'', and in numerous interviews since, that had ABC decided to make the investment [[ItWillNeverCatchOn to film new episodes in color]], ''The Patty Duke Show'' would likely have lasted a few more seasons than it had, as it was still a strong ratings draw in 1966 when the show was canceled. While ABC ''did'' want to broadcast the show in color, the production company (Creator/UnitedArtists Television) refused to do so, probably in the hope that the network would offer more money to produce the show.

The clothing line in her name that was released to cash in on the show's success wasn't to her taste, either.
