I googled her name yesterday and was surprised I couldn't remember her being on other shows. She died very young, at age 43 I think, from breast cancer.

She was one of the models on Bob Cummings' show Love That Bob,
which was also produced by Paul Henning. She appeared in several episodes.

Speaking of Lester Flat, does anyone know if he and Earl Scuggs sang the theme song that was heard every week? They sure had it down perfect, note for note. Those guys were talented with their bango and guitar.

Lester Flat and Earl Scuggs played the theme song over the opening credits but Jerry Scoggins sang it.

Thanks Sonny. That music really cooks! I'm learning a lot here, lol. I watched the marathon in bed last night, almost all night.

I always loved the Beverly Hillbillies. I forgot it was even on though. I'm glad TV Land at least picked up one classic sitcom.

As mentioned, Jerry Scoggins sang the theme, but Flatt and Scruggs sang a version (mostly Flatt) and released it as a single during the show's first season. I believe it was a hit, but don't quote me on that.

Joi Lansing was one of my favorite super-hot blonde actresses on TV in the late 50's and 60's.
She also was featured in one of the last season episodes of the "Adventures of Superman" as a policewoman who masqueraded as Superman's wife. Made Lois Lane jealous of her of course.
