This happened a few years ago. A retro channel tinted the show green but I can't remember which show! Was it the Patty Duke Show???

In 1989, Nick at Nite tinted "My Three Sons" green for St. Patrick's Day. It was in honor of Bub O'Casey, the grandfather. I remember this and this article backs it up:

I was watching my old "homemade set" of Petticoat Junction and came across a season 2 episode (The Brontosaurus Caper) that was GREEN. It was probably green due to poor quality, not because of the way it was originally recorded. Just thought this was funny.

I remember that, it was on a Saturday night and they showed 6 episodes back-to-back that all had Bub (William Frawley who was the Douglas's grandfather/housekeeper the first few seasons) They called the marathon "My wild Irish Bub".
