Line 2: [[File:Patty_Duke_Show_4334.jpg\|frame]] ''[[The Patty Duke Show]]'' was an 1963-66 [[Dom Com]] starring Patty Duke as [[Uncanny Family Resemblance\|identical-looking cousins]] Patricia "Patty" Lane and Catherine "Cathy" Lane -- one American and one [[British Accents\|Scottish]]. Possibly set the record for length of time between [[Cancellation]] and [[Reunion Show]] -- 1999's ''The Patty Duke Show: Still Rockin' in Brooklyn Heights''. Currently being rerun on [[This TV]]. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[The Patty Duke Show]]'' show provides examples of: ===~~ * [[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. ▲* [[~~Different~~Polar AsOpposite ~~Night and Day~~Twins]]: 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 ~~surverts~~subverts 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.
