Gary Marshal (with that spelling) makes his first of three appearances as British fashion photographer Noel Prince.  Donald isn't worried at first but Lew is.  Then Lew decides not to worry since Donald isn't.  But then Noel tells Donald he's after Ann.  The "tune in next week," with narration by Donald is cute, but I feel like more could've been done in this episode, including with the "mod" fashions.  I will note that I think the photographer is one of the inspirations for Austin Powers.  The next week's episode will be set in L.A., so that should be interesting.

James Milhollin again plays a Hotel Clerk.  Laurie Main, who'd recently been a Maitre D' on the show, plays Grimsley, as he would on Part 2.  Lea Marmer, who plays the Woman in Automat, would appear twice more on TG.  Richard Ramos, one of the Men in Automat, would later make an uncredited appearance on M*A*S*H.  This two-parter would be the last writing Tom and Helen August would do for TG, although they'd go on to write for The Brady Bunch among other shows.
