Bachelor Father Trivia:

Uncle Bentley and his niece Kelly lived in an upscale Beverly Hills apartment along with their oriental houseboy Peter Tong and their shaggy dog named Jasper. By the end of Bachelor Father, Kelly had graduated from high school, attending college and was engaged to be married. The TV show ended, however, before her marriage could take place.

During the five year run of Bachelor Father, Bentley Gregg went through five different secretaries.

Actress Linda Evans appeared on this TV show on one episode of Bachelor Father as one of Kelly's girlfriends. Years later she would star on the TV show, "Dynasty (1981)" as the wife of co-star John Forsythe (Uncle Bentley)!
