This is a typical episode, somewhat interesting, with the men acting really stiff and trying to look smart.

The part I found interesting was the reference to JFK. I checked the date and the episode (March 1963) was released about six months before the fateful day in Dallas (Nov 1963).

I suppose the significant part about that is the lack of recognition to JFK in other episodes of the same period.

I have noticed in television shows of the era a hesitancy to talk about current politicians. Often there will be a fictitious congressman or local official, but the president is usually a vague figure, not identified.

This episode is worth watching just for the historical references.
