- He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television at 1559 North Vine Street in Hollywood, California on February 12, 1985 (his 70th birthday).
- He was the original inventor of the count-down clock that allowed a show, in filming, to know how much time was remaining in each segment of filming and in the total length of the show. This allowed the directors and actors to know how much time they had in which to complete a program or segment. His patent was the source of some wealth in the pre-computer era of filming.
- Just before his death, he had signed on to reprise the role of Ben Cartwright in a television-movie revival of Bonanza (1959).
- Ben Cartwright, Greene's character on Bonanza (1959), was ranked #2 by TV Guide in its list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" [June 20, 2004 issue].
- [on playing the role of a father to his sons on Bonanza (1959)]: It takes discipline not to retreat to the same reactions every time. After all, how many ways can you give a boy advice?
- [on-air mistake during his radio days newscasts]: Western farmers are expecting their biggest crap in years.
- Bonanza (1962) - $11,000 /week (1966)
