This episode contained the only scene of the series where the Bradys say Grace at the dinner table.
The part of Jesse James (in Bobby's dream sequence) was played by Gordon De Vol, the son of legendary music composer Frank De Vol, who wrote the music for The Brady Bunch, as well as other such notable TV themes as My Three Sons, and Family Affair.
In this episode, Burt Mustin plays a man whose father was murdered by western outlaw Jesse James. In real life, Mustin was born two years after the death of James.
At the dinner table as the Brady's are suggesting other heroes that Bobby could write about, Greg suggests Wilt Chamberlain. Bobby replies that he has a fat chance of growing up to be 7' 2, and black. In recent syndication the line "and black" is edited out in the name of political correctness
Actor Burt Mustin who plays Jethroe Collins (father was killed by Jesse James in the storyline) was born in 1884. Jesse James died in 1882.
