Floyd is briefly visible inside the barber shop, from the sidewalk, as the episode begins. The actor playing him, however, is clearly not Howard McNear, who had suffered a stroke early in 1963.
This episode was originally scheduled to air on November 25, 1963 but it was preempted by the coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy three days earlier.
Mary Grace Canfield is the real name of the actress that plays Thelma Lou's cousin, Mary Grace, in this episode. She was famous for playing handyman 'Ralph Monroe' in Green Acres (1965).
This is the first time that a friendship between Thelma Lou and Helen is portrayed.
In this episode, Thelma Lou's front door is on the opposite end of the front wall than in all other episodes featuring the interior of her house, even though the exterior shot of the house is the same.
