Ed Solomon co-wrote this fourth episode of Season Two with Tom Gammill and Max Pross, both of whom worked on Saturday Night Live in its fifth season.  Grant wins a poetry contest, with a free trip to Hollywood, from Sherman Oaks.  There's arguably more fourth-wall-breaking than usual in this one, from Grant and Pete going to a taping of IGSS to the studio audience singing the opening song and dancing to the closing song.  Florence Henderson appears as herself, still looking great at age 53.  Note that Jackie is absent, busy with her new baby.  (Yes, she had a baby since the last episode I watched.)
