That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy's

That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy's
ABC
February 19, 1970
Sitcom
DVD
C+

Not only does this episode feel dated, like it should've aired a year or two earlier, but it's not as well structured as it could be.  I can understand that we're not shown any of the "nude scene," not even backs or feet, but why don't we see more of the crowd reaction?  And what about the Chekhov's Gun of the sheriff saying he'll be back later, but we don't see his return?  (The title is misleading.)  Or the fact that Donald changes the band's minds over the phone, with none of their side of the conversation?  Still, it does get Lew into a Nehru jacket and love beads, so I guess that's worth turning in for.

Leonard Bremen, who plays the Sheriff, had earlier appeared as a Baseball Fan, and was also doing Brady guest shots around this time.  Bill Quinn played a Priest before and is Harry this time.  Gene Baylos, who's the Agent, was previously Mort.
