Main cast

Produced by Kayro-Vue and Universal Television, who also produced The Munsters for CBS that season, 27 black-and-white half-hour episodes were aired on NBC from October 5, 1964 to August 30, 1965. The series was directed by Earl Bellamy.
The show was one of three 30-minute sitcoms broadcast Monday nights under the umbrella title 90 Bristol Court. Despite all three shows being set at the Southern California apartment complex, the only other connection the three series had was the character of handyman Cliff Murdoch, who greeted the residents and visitors to 90 Bristol Court. After Harris Against the World and Tom, Dick and Mary aired their last episodes on January 4, 1965, 90 Bristol Court ceased to be a programming entity, and handyman Murdoch disappeared from Karen as well.
Karen lasted the entire 1964-1965 television season, but was not renewed by NBC for 1965-1966. The last episode was repeated on August 30, 1965.
