Well, it looks like this is the earlier of the two episodes from this date, although it's on Disc 2 and the other is on Disc 1.  Equally entertaining.

A different episode with Donner.

No classic moments but generally entertaining with two very bubbly contestants and a nice celebrity line-up, including Mork's Robert Donner, Vegas's Phyllis Davis, and Trapper John regular Charles Siebert, who was Mr. Ramsey on What's Happening!!

Shirley applies for a job as secretary and gets hired as a token.  She tries to prove herself but ends up quitting.  Hemphill does a nice job with this Eisenstock & Mintz story, as forthright as always, but more understanding of others' viewpoints than in the past.

Earl Billings returns as Rob.  Ellen Travolta plays Lily, a very different role from Arnold Horshack's mother.  Barbara Mallory, who plays Helen, would be Cindy Smith in Rescue from Gilligan's Island.  Charles Siebert, who's Mr. Ramsey, is best known for Trapper John, M.D. but would show up on a couple of my Match Game episodes.  Mabel King is absent.
