When Lucy pulls the cymbals out of her bag she says she doesn't know what they are! Her son is a drummer whose drum set is next to her in the living room, so it is hard to believe Lucy doesn't have a clue what cymbals are.
This is the second of only two episodes directed by Jerry Paris of "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Paris also directed "Lucy Meets the Burtons", which was actually filmed after this one. Lucille Ball and Paris had different styles, so although he had a contract for six episodes, he was let go after only two.
This is one of the last episodes that spotlights Desi Arnaz Jr. He will start missing several episodes to film 'Red Sky at Morning' (1970), and by the end of the season will leave the series altogether.
Buddy Rich's name was first mentioned on "Here's Lucy" in "Lucy the Helpful Mother" when Kim shouts "Hey! Buddy Rich!" to get Craig's attention over the din of his drumming.
To get up close to Buddy Rich and capture the excitement of his drum solo, "Here's Lucy" uses a hand held camera for the first time.
