In a somewhat-risque scene (for "The Bunch"), Alice forbids Bobby and Cindy to go skinny dipping at a neighbor's when she opens their robes and discovers "You're not wearing your bathing suits--you're wearing your birthday suits!" This scene is usually cut for syndication.
This is the first of two shows in which Robert Reed did not appear; during this episode's production, he had a commitment with Broadway.
The music cue that plays when the broken lamp is shown is the same one used for the tabu tiki idol in the Hawaii episode.
Alice's replacement is Kay, played by Mary Treen, who had a similar role as housekeeper, albeit with more emotional attachment, on the sitcom 'The Joey Bishop Show' during the 1960s.
Mary Treen, who plays the temporary housekeeper Kay, played a much-beloved housekeeper in the first regular episode, The New Housekeeper (1960), of The Andy Griffith Show (1960). Opie is so attached to her character, Rose, that he tries to disrupt her wedding so she won't leave.
