The programme was sponsored by textile company Celanese, who made a wrinkle-resistant fabric called Arnel. Some commercials are contained in his audio air check. 

Speaking about the television show in 1969, Noel Harrison said: "Everyone in Spring Thing is young, talented, energetic and is blossoming career-wise. My co-host, Bobbie Gentry, has a lovely voice and a great mind and plays guitar beautifully."

No Video tape or kinescope film footage of the show is believed to survive.
