This script by Lois and Arnold Peyser, who'd also co-written a couple for Gilligan, focuses on Bobby but gives all the characters their moments. It seems like Bobby is having the hardest time of the six kids in adjusting to a new step-parent. He was the one in the Pilot who worried about Carol objecting to the display of his mother's picture, and here he worries that Carol will be a mean stepmother, like in Cinderella. A few notes: Alice remembers the day Bobby was born, confirming the theory she arrived during his mom's pregnancy with him; Tiger is here, as Bobby's loyal friend when he thinks his family doesn't love him; Greg's friend Gordy is mentioned for the second time; and two of the Dittmeyer girls are mentioned (Carla and Nancy), while Mary Dittmeyer was Cindy's rival for the fairy princess role. Also, Bobby's birthday is about a month away, which would put him as born in January 1962, if the air date reflects when this is occurring.
Larry McCormick, who'd appeared as himself on That Girl, does the voice for the TV Announcer. Michael Lerner, who's Johnny the bike-shop owner, would later appear on That Girl and is still working at the age of 74.
