Loved that show when I was a kid.

The episode excerpted here was "The Washington Spotlight", originally aired on ABC Oct. 25, 1963, early in the show's run.

The plot of this show was unusual in that the male lead's mother - the mother-in-law, later - was friendly and supportive to the young woman, instead of being an adversary.

Lark identified its filter as the "3-Piece Keith Filter" through 1965. When the "Supervisor of Physical Chemistry" for Liggett & Myers, Dr. Charles H. Keith- who developed that filter for Lark- left the company, the name "Keith" disappeared.

That bumper in Swedish gives me goosebumps.

Phil Tonken is the announcer in the Lark commercials; Bob LeMond is the sponsor I.D. announcer.

A tidbit about the music just before the catchy Screen Gems visual and audio production company credit. I notice something familiar sounding oh so familiar at the end of the end credits. The trumpets come in while we hear a definitive, distinct sound of drums. Then it dawned on me: "The Farmer's Daughter" from Screen Gems was joined on the 1965 - 66 ABC line-up by another female-centric sitcom, Sally Field's "Gidget." Well, over the decades I've had opportunity to view and enjoy "Gidget" considerably more often than "The Farmer's Daughter." And this little exercise, watching a KZfaq clip, lets me conclude: I just heard the catchy, enjoyable "Farmer's Daughter" vocal and then the last three seconds the trumpets and the drums I said, "I've heard that before -- reminds me of 'Gidget's' end credits concluding seconds." Sure enough, it does. Not plagiarism or anything serious, just a happy coincidence about two happy shows.

How long did this show stay on TV one two seasons? I just heard of it today.

The two doing the Lark ad at the end: Their comfort level in each other's presence is so relaxed and friendly; uncomplicated. They like and respect each other. And show characteristics of being smart, inquisitive adults. Windom speaks so naturally while displaying authority and confidence answering Miss Stevens' quite-legitimate question. She taking the time to read about astronauts and space travel gives the impression of a smart, inquisitive individual. . . . The young, fit Windom is quite a contrast to his older, heavier appearances in the '80s and '90s on "Murder, She Wrote." On first viewing I wasn't sure if the two stars were playing this "in character" or as themselves. Really, as is, it could go either way. Fortunately, in the KZfaq universe we rewind and spot at the very beginning the behind the scenes atmosphere with the studio lights on the far left. The artist's rendering of Miss Stevens used between segments does justice to her beauty. . . . . Well, five people have commented on her attire in the Lark commercial to which I'll add her hair is downright luminous. It's shinier, smoother and more styled than in the show. On a superficial level I'll offer that Burt Reynolds must have been crazy to let "this one get away." They were a couple winter of '69 - '70 and reportedly engaged that spring. He was the last to see her alive at her house -- except for her never-accosted killer. And the previous night they'd been a foursome with producer Aaron Spelling and wife Candy at a Beverly Hills restaurant. They were celebrating their respective new series, Spelling's "The Most Deadly Game" starring Stevens and hot producer Quinn Martin's newcomer "Dan August" with Reynolds in the title role. Production was underway or imminent because their debuts were four and a half months' away.

Thanks Farmer's Daughter for promoting lung cancer!
