And so it ends, except it doesn't, because another episode aired the following week.  Eisenstock & Mintz wrote this final part which ends on a cliffhanger, as M & M are lost in time, after having been interviewed by a Tom Snyder knock-off, overwhelmed by hangers-on, menaced by Kal, and befriended by cavepeople.  (Mearth has been left behind with Fred.)  I'll reserve my observations on the season and the series for next time, but I will say that although this episode doesn't work too well, it's at least interesting.  Note, they do actually go back to their home at one point, but it's still in shambles.

Dan Barrows, who was Mr. Keeney on The Bob Newhart Show, Dr. Yalowich on Soap, and Dittman on this show, plays Maury here.
