This Burditt & Wayne episode kicks off the whole "overheard and misunderstood conversation" motif that would become almost synonymous with this show.  It also introduces Richard Kline as Jack's friend "Honest Larry" the used car salesman.  I find it better than its British counterpart, and I like how the personalities of the characters are already well enough established that, for instance, Janet can be both the voice of reason and the one most amused by the idea of Mr. Roper eating dog food.  Chrissy's upbringing as a minister's daughter is another recurring motif.  And Jack bumping into things is becoming more prominent, although his stunts aren't anywhere near the level they'd reach.
