Jerry Mayer's second BNS script further solidifies the characterization, particularly that of Emily and Howard. Daily's delivery on "God, I hope that's Bob!" is just right, and you can see how proud Emily is of herself for not only hosting but speaking up at a teachers' meeting. Mayer can even be credited with initiating the running joke that Mr. Carlin wears a toupee. Newhart gets some good scenes, on his own and with others, but that's less surprising.
Patricia Smith makes her last appearance as Margaret, claiming to have only two kids. (Maybe she doesn't count the baby as a kid who knows about the facts of life.) Helen Page Camp, who was Myrna Hoover on the Pilot, is Mrs. Prince here. Nora Marlowe has her first of three BNS roles, as Mrs. Brandell. Bernie Kopell makes his only appearance on the show, as swinging bachelor Dr. Arnold. Thirty-one-year-old Archie Hahn makes his screen debut, as the Bellman.
