Due to illness, Ray Collins only appeared in a few episodes after the 1960 season. He had contracted emphysema brought on by years of smoking, and he also was beginning to forget his lines; because of this he was forced to leave in the middle of the seventh season. Despite the fact that Collins was no longer on the show, it was decided to keep his name in the credits not only to help keep his spirits up, but to allow him to keep getting medical benefits from the actors union. Sadly, he died in July 1965, just prior to the start of the show's final season.
