-* Actor Roger Til appeared in the movie "Stargate", which spawned several tv series.
+* This is the second episode to take place outside of Mayberry. With the exception of the prologue scene at the start of the episode, the entire episode takes place in Raleigh. A portion of The Clubmen (S2.E10) also takes place in Raleigh.
 * Before he became a regular on "Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In", actor Arte Johnson got first showbiz job by just impulsively stepping into an audition line at Broadway theater, where he was almost immediately chosen for role in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." His stage name "Arte" came about by accident. Originally billed as "Art E. Johnson", his name was mistakenly posted as "Arte" on a playbill. Johnson liked the look and sound of the name, so he kept it.
-* Actor Peter Leeds accompanied Bob Hope on 14 international USO tours and appeared on Broadway with Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller in "Sugar Babies." He has over 8000 appearances on television, particularly in the fifties and sixties.
+* When leaving the house for their trip to the big city, Andy and Barney make a big deal of stepping out with their right foot. This is based on the old superstition of getting up on the wrong side of bed. It is believed that if a person gets up on the left side of the bed, things will go wrong. But, if a person gets up on the right side, they will be right of mind, right of heart and their day will be perfect. This, of course, extends to leaving the house, as well.
 * Actor Les Tremayne was born in Balham, England.
-* Fans learn in this episode that Barney when signing for anything while out of town, signed Barnard Fife MD. The MD he explains to Andy stands for Mayberry Deputy.

	* Otis sings the Larry Clinton song "The Dipsy Doodle" written in 1937.
