4. There was a Bugs Bunny cartoon called "What's Up, Doc?" which featured Jack Benny, Al Jolson, and Bing Crosby. (Probably not it, but had to check.)

I've caught a bad cold, so I will be home for a while. So let me drop a quiz in here as well:
BILLING IS EVERYTHING Smiley was the winner in a close one.
1.) In this British show, a young girl was nicknamed Tiger and she had a stuffed tiger named Tiger. The billing at the end of the credits read “Debbie **** as Tiger” and then “Tiger as Tiger” - Here Come the Doubledeckers - mrsehj
2.) One of the stars of this popular sitcom was billed fourth during the first season, ahead of only the young boy who played her son. For the next four seasons, she was billed last, but with a distinctive “and” placed in front of her name. Since the credits were recited after the first season, that made the billing even more distinct. The actress later went on to star in her own sitcom. - Mary Tyler Moore on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW - smiley
3.) When this actor was added as a late addition to a new sci-fi show, all the good billings were already taken. So he asked the producer to list him at the end of the credits each week as “special guest star”, the first such regular billing of its kind. - Jonathan Harris on LOST IN SPACE - jervistetch
4.) Usually, there is only one “and” billing per show at the end of the credits. But this show set in a high school (in a famous city) had two popular stars from a previous hit show about life in a not-so-perfect small town (whose judge was played by a former Martian), so they gave them both the “and” billing (although to be fair one of them was billed “and…as Harvey Lipschultz.”) - Boston Public - martin
5.) Special billings usually include “with” followed by “and.” This prison drama added an actor who had just starred in a one season sci-fi drama (which was loosely based on INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS) but could only give him the “with” billing, as the “and” was already taken by a future zombie hunter and current resistance fighter against aliens. But they gave him a break by sneakily listing his name last anyway. This is a hard question, but if you look carefully the answer is hidden within the question, and also the show is returning to FOX next month. - Prison Break - martin
6.) This hospital drama (which could easily fit in with a current NBC franchise) had alternating leads. One of the male doctors (son of an Oscar winning actor) went first on odd episodes, the future Emmy winner (and future mother of a famous Hawaiian detective) playing the female doctor got the lead billing on even weeks . Later when the female lead was let go, the male lead alternated with another male doctor who went on to star in a long-running super-popular Navy-based crime drama that’s still on the air. - Chicago Hope: Adam Arkin alternated with Christine Lahti and later Mark Harmon
7.) This drama reminiscent of Criminal Minds (starring LONGMIRE's girlfriend, and featuring Phoebe Halliwell's demon husband) had a recurring serial killer character played by a known actor, but they wanted to keep his identity secret from the viewers. He was always seen in the shadows, and he was billed at the end of the credits as “and Jack” (the name of his character, not the actor’s name.) - Jack of All Trades/Albert Newquay (Dennis Christopher) on Profiler - jervistetch
8.) Even though this actress had had a long career including winning an Oscar and an Emmy by the time she appeared on this show, she was playfully billed as “And introducing ****** ******** as Maw Maw.” - Cloris Leachman in RAISING HOPE - smiley
9.) This actress was sometimes billed as “Pandora Spocks” in her sitcom, even though that wasn’t her real name. - Elizabeth Montgomery on BEWITCHED when she played her twin cousin Serena - mrsehj
10.) The actress who starred in this Stone Age sitcom had her character name misspelled in the opening credits for the majority of its one and only season. (The name had been changed after the pilot, but they didn’t change it in its memorable animated opening theme) - Imogene Coca in IT'S ABOUT TIME, Shag in the pilot, Shad in the series - mrsehj
11.) Even though this drama with religious overtones was named after her character, the teenager who played that character was only billed third. Of course, it didn’t help that her on-screen father had already been the lead in a previous courtroom series and her on-screen mother was an Oscar-winning actress. Amber Tamblyn in JOAN OF ARCADIA - smiley
12.) This hospital drama started with a roll of cast members (and one at the end with an “and” billing). Any new characters were added to the end of the list in the order in which they had joined the show (preceding the “and”, of course). This went on for five years until one actress who had just come off a 4-year sitcom decided she wanted to leapfrog some of the characters, so they accommodated her. Then a new male character demanded billing near the top, so the first actress later demanded second billing and they had to kill a character off so that the lady who already had the second billing could have his special “and” billing. Afterward, the billing became a free-for-all with your order in the billing depending on how good an agent you had. (They also dropped the opening theme and just listed the actors during the show; they probably tired of changing the pictures constantly.) - ER - Maura Tierney and Mekhi Phifer started the billing feud. - smiley
smiley - 4 mrsehj - 3 jervistetch - 2 martin - 2

9. This actress was sometimes billed as “Pandora Spocks” in her sitcom, even though that wasn’t her real name.
That would be Elizabeth Montgomery who played Samantha and her Cousin Serena (Pandora Spocks)

Not quite. The two people who appeared on the show I am looking for came from PICKET FENCES but later were regulars on this other show.
