      ADD TRIVIA
      • Nitpick: Today's TV viewers might find it a bit strange when they watch this episode to see a college basketball squad with no Afro-American players. This is made even odder by the fact that the show frequently used Afro-American actors and that the college is set in the Midwest not the Deep South where segregation was the norm during that time period.
