That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons

Joe Flynn as he should be.

A seriously miscast Joe Flynn plays the title character, Lew's flamboyant and perhaps untrustworthy brother.  Even when Lew shows up, there's not much comedic pay-off.  Unless you want to see Donald sporting a wide peace-sign tie, you can skip this episode.

Ed Peck's last TG role is as a Customs Official, while Customs Official #2, Joe Mell, was previously Sol on this show and had recently been a Druggist on The Brady Bunch.  Screenwriter Bob Garland would later do a Bob Newhart Show episode.
