FYI, this episode NEVER aired.
Who knows why? Maybe because so many performers were Asian? It was likely filmed in 1965, when Barbara Erskine was a factor in the series. But it never saw the light of day until the DVD release.
But it is a fascinating episode, and it is an episode in which we see non- stereotypical portrayals of Asian-Americans. It is NOT a deal in 2014, but in 1965-66 it was. And that is a very sorry statement. Humanity deserves better.
Anyway, this episode deserves a look, because it never aired, and because it is interesting to boot!
