[3] Mickie Finn's was a summer replacement series for the failed NBC sitcom Mona McCluskey, which had starred Juliette Prowse and Denny Miller on Thursday nights.

After the television show ended, the Mickie Finn stage show began headlining at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in October, 1966, and continued to play other Las Vegas clubs until 1988.

[2] Fred Finn, with second wife Cathy on banjo, brought the show back to San Diego twice: first in 1988, for four performances at the Fiesta Dinner Theatre; and again in June 1990 for one month at the Hahn Cosmopolitan Theatre, produced in association with Scott Pedersen.
