* ActingForTwo: This one is a given considering they only had four regular actors and more than four regular characters.
** It was even more prevalent in the pre-1940 shows, when there was just Lauck and Goff. Occasionally one would go on vacation, leaving the other to play several roles in essentially a one-man show.

** [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Auntie Em]] is a rather surprising choice as one of the antagonists from the first Lum and Abner movie, ''Dreaming Out Loud''.
** Zazu Pitts plays Lum's love interest in their second movie, ''The Bashful Bachellor''.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Ellie Connors (aka Mary Edwards), Sgt. Hartford, and Nurse Lunsford were all voiced by Lurene Tuttle, the actress who played Marjorie in the FibberMcGeeAndMolly SpinOff, ''Radio/TheGreatGildersleeve''.

* RecycledScript: Occasionally Lauck and Goff would recycle plots and scripts years after they were first broadcast. For instance, the story arc where Lum and Abner open a movie theater was used in 1935 and again in 1944, and the radio station plot line was used in 1945 and 1953 (with slight variations).

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The reason the Lum and Abner television show never made it past the pilot is that Norris Goff (Abner) had begun to develop health problems and wasn't able to take the physical strain of doing a regular TV series.
