The show switches to Fridays, I'm assuming after Diff'rent Strokes at 8 p.m., although I suppose it could've been opposite. And speaking of time, despite the "burger" episode, which said Dee's birthday was in September, she turns fourteen in this Sally Wade episode, where Little Earl joins a gang (yes, a preteen gang) and shoplifts a tacky but expensive necklace for her present. The best thing about the episode is Raj and Shirley pretending to be Dee's parents.
It's surprising that this is the first and I think only appearance of Richard Deacon in my TV collection, but I don't have The Dick Van Dyke Show or any of the other series he appeared on. Anyway, he does fine with the role of Mr. Bradford, the store owner. For some reason, this episode has two directors, Lee Bernhardi who had done two previous, and Russ Petrano, who has absolutely no other credits.
