Robert Reed "Li'l Abner" TV Pilot

 

"Li'l Abner" is a 1966/1967 TV pilot based on the comic strip and film of the same name. Interesting to see how Robert Reed was cast. Here he very much plays to type: an urban, sophisticated city slicker, not a member of the corny, over the top Dogpatch Village. 

The Brady Bunch producer Howard Leeds is a producer on this pilot. Reed's name is not in the opening credits, and it appears he was a guest star that wouldn't have been seen again on the show if it had been picked up as a series.
