Barney=Bill Thompson Wilma=Jean vanderpyl Betty=June Foray (she and Butler worked on the Warner Brothers cartoon spoofs of the same source, "Honeymosuers"---both inspired by Jackie Gleason's "Honeymooners"----directed by veteran director Bob McKimson) As we can see, only Vanderpyl IIRC was involved from the series in the pilot (I could be misremembering about the list,though) |

It really wasn't a "pilot"...
...it was more of a "demo reel", covering about a minute and a half of rough footage from "The Swimming Pool" episode, that was eventually shown as the third episode of the series. This is what Joe Barbera "peddled" to ABC and ad agencies all over New York in the winter of 1960, in the hopes of selling the series to potential sponsors. And R.J. Reynolds and Miles Laboratories DID buy the show for the fall of 1960.
