Welcome to the '70s, sort of.  (It won't feel very '70s till maybe '72.)  And Morty Gunty turns out to be no funnier as Sandy Stone than as himself in yet another unnecessary Orenstein-Turteltaub story.  As with the episode where the boxer turns out to have a "hilarious" comedy routine, I was generally not amused, although the Nichols & May like routine that Sandy and Ann do (pretending to be on the phone), is probably the best of the bunch, if five or ten years out of date in format.  I also didn't see why Donald insisted on going to every performance and then complaining about the food.  I will say that the episode improved as it went on, mostly because there was less of Sandy.

Producer Sam Denoff does another of his cameos, this time as the Big Guy who punches Donald, while associate producer Lew Gallo makes his first of three, as Man at Table.  Bob Ross (not that Bob Ross) has his first of six TG roles, as a Party Guest.  Alan Oppenheimer makes his second of four TG appearances, this time as Mr. Katz.  Secretary Diana Herbert would appear on Three's Company eight years later.
