Thankfully Gale Gordon came on board starting with this episode to take over as Mr. Wilson. To please the continuity police, Gordon plays John Wilson, brother of George Wilson. No effort was made to have two different actors play same part. One plus to this casting move is a new Mr. Wilson allowed the series to make it 4 seasons. A series needs to last at least four seasons to make it attractive for syndication. So we can watch reruns 60 years after it went off the air. And it can continue to run for decades to come! As for this movie, it's great fun. Gordon is a comic genius. And writer's block is a common problem. The episode is much more fun than reading a book on writing.
