Possibly set the record for length of time between [[Cancellation]] and [[Reunion Show]] -- 1999's ''The Patty Duke Show: Still Rockin' in Brooklyn Heights''.

{{tropelist}}
* [[American Newspapers]]: Martin Lane's place of employment.
* [[Different As Night and Day]]: Cathy and Patty. [[Trope Namer]] by way of the [[Theme Song]].
* [[The Ditz]]: Patty's long-suffering boyfriend Richard drifts pretty near to this. It's no wonder she always seems to be on the lookout for a better option.
* [[Double Standard]]: As the series goes on, Patty really shows no loyalty to Richard at all, but he always comes back to her when she'll have him.
Line 16 ⟶ 14:
* [[Mirror Routine]]: Done by Patty and Cathy in the first episode. The scene was then used in the opening credits.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Paul O'Keefe as Patty's little brother Ross experiences a quite visible growth spurt toward the end of the series, but the character is still written the same way.
* [[DifferentPolar AsOpposite Night and DayTwins]]: Cathy and Patty. Former [[Trope Namer]] by way of the [[Theme Song]].
* [[Sidney Sheldon]]: Co-creator
* [[Standard Fifties Father]]: Martin Lane was hardly infallible, but he was a very understanding dad, and generally one of the most likable examples of the trope.
* [[Twin Switch]]: Patty and Cathy and vice versa
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance]]: [[Trope Codifier]]
* [[Wunza Plot]]: To the show's credit, while it unquestionably fits this trope, it survertssubverts it in that really only a small percentage of episodes deal directly with Patty and Cathy's resemblance. In practice, the gimmick is mostly just an excuse for Patty Duke to play two distinct roles--which she does skillfully.
* [[Zany Scheme]]: Patty comes up with them frequently.
