Trivia
This is the first appearance of Archie and Edith's bedroom.

Goofs
According to Edith, Bobbie Jo's visit will mark the "first time in twenty four years that Archie and Edith will not be sleeping in the same bed together." She seemed to have forgotten when Cousin Maude visited in a previous episode, Edith slept in the bedroom and Archie slept on the couch and when Edith had jury duty in a previous episode, she slept in a hotel without Archie and in a future episode (Archie The Gambler), she said that after a fight with Archie, she took Gloria when she was a little kid and left Archie and stayed at her mother's home. Not to mention the many times Archie stayed overnight at hotels during various conventions.

Quotes
Bobbi Jo Loomis: [while flirtatious Bobbi Jo has the Duke's photo album layed out on her lap, having asked Archie to pick out the Duke, she catches Archie instead staring at her large chest] Archie, you're not gonna find him lookin' there.

Not one of the best episodes

The wife of Archie's Air Force buddy Duke is staying with the Bunkers for a night before she joins her husband in Germany.

It turns out that Duke's wife is not the one Archie knows,it seems the first wife had died and the new wife is a younger,sexy waitress named Bobbi Jo that Duke married. She is played by Gloria LeRoy, although she is supposed to be younger than Archie and Duke (she is, but only a couple of years) she looks just as old despite wearing a low cut top and a miniskirt. The point of the episode is that Archie mistakenly believes Bobbi Jo made a pass, though she acts flirty and kisses him on the lips twice,you can hardly blame him for thinking that. There is also a uncomfortable scene where Edith tells Bobbi Jo to leave her house,so it is not much fun to watch.
