From season 1 of The Patty Duke Show:
The Lanes are preparing for Christmas when Martin (William Schallert, ex-The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis) is surprised by the appearance of his boss, J. R. Castle (John McGiver), who informs Martin that his twin brother, Kenneth (Schallert again), is to be fired for abandoning an assignment overseas. "The Christmas Present" is also the first half of a holiday 2-parter.......
Co-creators William Asher and Sidney Sheldon would move on to Screen Gems over the next two seasons (Bewitched & I Dream of Jeannie, respectively), but I think now you can see where and why they had the idea to use the twin gimmick on those shows. Not sure if Sheldon stuck around for the 3rd & final season, which was the year Jeannie debuted.
Rating: B.
