Linda Kaye Henning (Betty Jo): One other Happy Days episode in addition to the one you mention, with Scott Baio. She also did 2 episodes of Mork & Mindy. Game shows included Match Game.

Lori Saunders (Bobbie Jo): Dusty's Trail with Bob Denver & Forrest Tucker. In this "Gilligan's Island" type of show, she played the schoolmarm in the "Mary Ann" type of role. Here she joined Jeannine Riley, another PJ alum who she never worked with on that series. Jeannine was in the "Ginger" type of role. Lori also appeared several times as a Commerce Bank secretary on The Beverly Hillbillies after PJ ended. In one ep, she wears a backless bathing suit...! Lori went on to soap opera work.

Meredith MacRae (Billie Jo): She did an episode of Magnum P.I. in addition to hosting a talk show.

Charles Lane (Homer Bedlow): Appeared in the final season of The Beverly Hillbillies after PJ ended, as Miss Jane's landlord. He interacts directly with former PJ stars Saunders and Minor.

Mike Minor (Steve Elliot): Mike also appeared in the final season of The Beverly Hillbillies after PJ ended as "Dick Bremerkamp" ("Robert Audubon Getty Crockett").

Frank Cady (Sam Drucker): Appeared as a judge in an ep of the original Hawaii Five-O. Also continued to appear on Green Acres as Sam for one season following the end of PJ.

Jeannine Riley was in the cast for the run of Dusty's Trail. She also did an episode of Gomer Pyle, in which she's on a show like The Dating Game and the lucky bachelor gets to date her. Great to see her in color in those years.

Pat Woodell did a late episode of The Munsters in which she plays Eddie's teacher. Gorgeous!
