Brad Collins, the current state senator, is resigning at age 92 to get married and raise a family. His fiance is 96.
(edit)
During the flashback, when Oliver is giving his speech about farming to the guys in Druckers Store, the typical "Yankee Doodle Dandy" fife music is playing in the background. This was added for this episode, as it didn't have the music the first time it aired (as the premier episode)
(edit)
The names of the executive producer, Paul Henning, and writers Jay Sommers and Dick Chevillat appear on Lisa's hotscakes. Director Richard L Bare's name appears on a piece of toast.
