That sure is an awfully well laid out table just for breakfast! I see a plate of biscuits, another plate of tarts or something, a teapot... Natalie certainly kept busy!
Yeah! What I'm seeing in the stills that never caught my attention during the reruns, so many years ago, is how upscale and wealthy the Lanes appear to be. The show I recall was plotted and written to suggest a workaday American family, but look at how big and finely appointed their house is. In the main titles, Patty runs down a grand staircase that has three turns in it! It's a palace.

Sad that you posted that advertisement the day after Cindy Williams died.

In 1999, CBS broadcast THE PATTY DUKE SHOW REUNION MOVIE (officially called THE PATTY DUKE SHOW: STILL ROCKIN' IN BROOKLYN HEIGHTS). The original show had been produced for United Artists and broadcast by ABC. This movie was produced by UA's successor MGM.
The film brought back all of the main cast, and centered around the now-gown "twins" being reunited back in Brooklyn Heights to foil the scheme of Patty's nemesis, "Sue Ellen Caldwell" (played by Cindy Williams), to turn the girls' high school into a lucrative shopping mall. The recurring role of Sue Ellen had been played by Kitty Sullivan in the series, but she hadn't pursued acting after the series ended.
And here I was going to make a lame wisecrack about there not being a "new Patty Duke show." :0)

This photo reminded me that high school students didn't use backpacks back then.
(In fact even in the late 70s they didn't use backpacks. I know this from personal experience. I was in high school in the late 70s and NO ONE used backpacks. Period. You can see this in Halloween too when we see Jamie Lee Curtis and her girlfriends walking home from school carrying their books under their arms).
1980 was the year I went from high school to university, and I remember noticing the sudden culture shift: almost nobody used a backpack at my high school, and everybody had one in college that Fall.
