    • Trivia
      This is the only appearance Anne Barton makes in this series. She is perhaps best remembered to TV audiences in the early 1960s for her recurring role as Eddie Haskell's mother in another family series: Leave It to Beaver (1957).
    • Goofs
      On the label for his present to Lassie, Timmy misspelled his name as Timmie, even though he is clearly old enough to know how to spell his own name.
