TV Guide, October 10, 1964 (Volume 12, Number 41, Issue #602) [Western New England Edition]
I’d love to be able to see KENTUCKY JONES, at least part of it, at least once. I can’t even find the opening credits anywhere. I have seen a trailer that has their voices dubbed in German. I noticed that James Hong is listed on this night’s episode. Whenever I see his name now, I always hear “Seinfeld, four!” in my mind.
