Trivia:

Even if you were an avid television watcher in 1962, you may not remember Sam Benedict. You were probably tuned in to one of the other networks during that time slot and enjoying either the "Roy Rogers Show" or the "Jackie Gleason Show".

The Sam Benedict theme was written by Nelson Riddle.
