Once Upon a Mattress
The second television adaptation of Once Upon a Mattress was broadcast on December 12, 1972, on CBS.

It was directed by Ron Field and Dave Powers. Again, several songs were eliminated and characters were combined or altered. Since the parts of the Minstrel and the Wizard were cut from this adaptation, a new prologue was written with Burnett singing "Many Moons Ago" as a bedtime story.
