IMDb trivia noted the original casting was for Roddy McDowell and Sharon Farrell. Roddy McDowell was replaced by Ron Rifkin. Then Ron Rifkin and Sharon Farrell were fired and replaced with Joby Baker and Julie Parrish. Ronnie Schell was already playing the part of Duke on Gomer Pyle USMC. When Good Morning World was canceled Ronnie Schell returned to Gomer Pyle TV series playing the same character of Duke. With the return, he received a a promotion becoming a lieutenant.
Perfect example of a writer's cramp.😅 The talent was there, and IN color! Tries too hard to be 😁 funny. You can see the involvement of Carl Reiner, perhaps trying to copy the success of the Dick Van Dyke Show where the office comedy and home comedy carry the show. Good start for Goldie though! Ran from Sep 67 to Sep 68. I think some of these start up shows only aired in the California market.
Thank you for adding ..the star of the show said his coworkers were not physically well or network did not like.. Goldie obviously became a star..
You are welcome.
