The show was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of "Outstanding Writing Achievement in Variety or Music." The show originally aired on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. Summer reruns of the seven Kopykats episodes were aired under the title The ABC Comedy Hour Presents the Kopykats. The same episodes aired in Great Britain simply as The Kopykats. The Kopykats first appeared on U.S. television as an episode of Kraft Music Hall on November 11, 1970, on NBC. The cast included Gorshin, Little, Jordan, and Kirby along with Mark Andrews, David Frye and Edie Adams, and appeared a second time with a somewhat different cast on Kraft Music Hall in 1971. (en)
