      • Mr. Haney shows up hawking "Haney Rents--brings a hospital into your home". His service includes a "hospital zone" sign, a tape of public address announcements recorded on the fifth floor of the Mayo Clinic, and an elderly nurse, Miss Tillie Mumford. Edit
      • Lisa serves un-cooked spaghgetti for breakfast. Oliver tells her to boil water; she does, but cooks spaghetti without water in another pot. That's followed by a "seven layers cake": seven hotscakes with chocolate syrup between them, topped with shaving cream and a cherry. Later, while attempting pizza, she seen beating the dough with a hammer. Edit

      ADD NOTES
      • The actress playing Miss Tillie Mumford was not credited in this episode. Edit
      • Eb's remark about Paul Henning not caring about them 'changing the dialog of the script as long as he doesn't know about it'is an in-joke referring to Henning's well-known refusal to let actors or other writers change the authentic hillbilly words and phrases he used in his scripts for Beverly Hillbillies. Edit
      • Paul Henning created The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres. Lisa, Oliver and Eb once appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies, even though they regarded it as a TV show. Edit

Lisa: Why don't you set yourself down on your you all and I will go out to the see-mint pond and catch us a barracuda. Edit
      • (reading the "improved" script for The Beverly Hillbillies) Eb (as Jethro): Hello Elly May. Lisa (as Elly May): Howdy Jethro, you all. Eb: Do you know where Granny is at, Elly May? Lisa: She all went down to the root cellar to get a parcel of turned-up greens. Edit
