For the series premiere of "Make Room for Granddaddy", Sherry Jackson reprised her role as oldest daughter Terry. No mention was made of her husband Pat Hannigan; instead, for this new version of the series, Terry's husband was named Bill, who was a soldier. In this episode, Terry left her son, six-year-old Michael in the care of his grandparents Danny and Kathy so she could join Bill, who was stationed overseas.
In addition to Lord, Hamer and Cartwright, the only other returning regulars were Sid Melton as Charley Halper and Hans Conried as Uncle Tonoose.
During that season, new characters were played by Stanley Myron Handelman and former football player Roosevelt Grier.
"Make Room for Granddaddy" lasted for only a year, producing 24 episodes; its cancellation came at a time when the networks were purging content favoring older, rural and other less affluent viewers after the loss of a half-hour of daily program time in 1971.
