* CharacterOutlivesActor: George Wilson, following his portrayer Joseph Kearns' death in 1962, midway through the third season. Immediately after his death and a brief hiatus to mourn Kearns' passing, two scripts where Wilson was non-essential were hastily re-written, with substitute characters added and no mention of Mr. Wilson made. Later in the season, it was explained that George had business out east, and his brother, John (Gale Gordon) was brought in to "house sit". Early in the fourth season, the Wilsons (offscreen) moved to the East Coast, leaving John the new homeowner … and it was still presumed that George was alive when the series ended in 1963.
