This was the tenth episode filmed, although it was aired seventh, on November 8, 1986. Although the ratings had improved a tenth of a point (from 8 to 8.1), "Life With Lucy" still lost its time slot. This is the second to last episode to air before the show is canceled.
This is the first of two episode written by Executive Story Editors Richard Albrecht and Casey Keller. Their second episode, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do", was not aired.
The episode opens with the McGibbon family having a yard sale inside the house. Lucy comes down the stairs wearing a foam Statue of Liberty crown, holding a book in one hand and a lamp in the other. In 1970, Lucille Ball gave voice to the interior thoughts of the Statue of Liberty in an NBC special called "Swing Out, Sweet Land."
To cover for Kevin in the presence of his friend Max, Lucy says that Charlie is hers and that she's taken him to Disneyland. She says he loved the Country Bear Jamboree. This is the second mention of Disneyland on "Life With Lucy" but it was first mentioned by Lucy Carmichael in "Lucy the Bean Queen" (S5;E3) in 1966. Disneyland is located in Anaheim, about 35 miles from Pasadena.
Kevin's Teddy Bear is named Charlie. Leonard has a stuffed animal named Fido and Ted had one named Binkie.
