This was the very first color episode filmed. The doors to the kitchen are the ones used from the first and second seasons, unlike the doors you see in other 3rd season episodes. This episode was the first one filmed by Sandra Gould and The Murphy sisters on June 15, 1966.
(edit)
Nitpick: When Aunt Clara remembers the spell to send Franklin home, Darren and Sam are panicky because now they will lose the 1,000 dollars they paid for Franklins bail. They seem to be well off financially so why wouldn't it be worth 1,000 dollars just to have the whole thing over with and Franklin back in his own time?
(edit)
When Mrs. Kravitz realizes its Ben Franklin she has just met, instead of staying to talk with someone she is so excited about meeting, she just runs right home to tell her husband. Seems like if you met someone from the past so famous (Mrs. Kravitz always believed Samantha had supernatural powers) you might stay and actually "meet" the individual instead of running away.
(edit)
Larry Tate greets Mrs. Kravitz like he knows her, though he has never been introduced to her. I suppose, since this is TV, Larry could have met her at a time that was not "shown" on the show.
