This episode gets marked down for Harry's sexist fantasy about trading in wives like cars (Alice has to explain to him that people are not the same as possessions), for Chet and Alice's uncharacteristic attitudes about "what will the neighbors think," and for the replacement of David Hayward as Chet by (I believe) Lennie Weinrib. Hayward's Chet had sensitivity and intelligence that the new Chet lacks, making him just another goofy, lazy son character. I do like the Cal Worthington parody (meriting the disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that no character should be mistaken for real life), and how Harry gets his revenge on live TV.
Hal Smith and Pat Harrington, Jr. both provide voices.
