Richard Baer, who wrote eleven That Girl episodes and one for M*A*S*H, did only this WH script, in which Roger has two tickets to see Stevie Wonder and has to decide between his two best friends.  No, he doesn't exploit the situation, like Chrissy did on Man About the House and Janet would on Three's Company.  He flips a coin and ends up scalping.  The lines about G-rated and X-rated movies definitely root this in the '70s.

Danny Wells had earlier appeared as Bert Frederick and he's the leisure-suited Policeman here.  Ray Vitte returns, this time named Gene, and he says it's been about a month since they were looking for a boarder.  Further confusing the continuity, Dee is now eleven, although on the "burger" episode her birthday was in September.
