Pat Morita, after the failore of his series Mr. T. and Tina, was added to the cast as Arnold, the same name (and virtually the same character) he had had in a similar supporting role on Happy Days. There he had run a drive-in restaurant, while he ran the coffee shop at the Oasis. (Nancy, in turn, was supposed to be the cousin of Happy Days' dad Howard Cunningham.) Morita's presence on Blansky's Beauties gave both him and star Nancy Walker the dubious distinction of being in two program failures in the same season; she had starred in The Nancy Walker Show five months before the premiere of Blansky's Beauties.
