Did you know
- TriviaThis episode was the second and last appearance of Barbara Colby, as Sherry. It was in large part due to her terrific comedic abilities, displayed in her 2 appearances in this show, which helped get her the regular role on the (soon-to-be-spun-off) series, Phyllis (1975) (another MTM Enterprises Productions)), as Phyllis' (Cloris Leachman) boss. Sadly, after filming only a couple of episodes (and before them even airing) the talented Ms Colby and a companion were robbed at gun point in a Los Angeles garage, and were both shot and killed. The crime has never been solved.
- Quotes
Georgette Franklin: [to Ted, who is gobsmacked by Mary in the very revealing dress Sherry designed for her] Ted, do you want ME to get a dress like that?
Ted Baxter: I WANT EVERY WOMAN IN THE FREE WORLD TO GET A DRESS LIKE THAT!
- Crazy creditsCredited as Ted Konopka, Ted Knight, whose birth name was Tadeus Wladyslaw Konopka, provides the voice of Mrs. Goldman's "dog" (actually the unseen Mrs. Goldman pretending to be a dog).

Featured review
The superb Barbara Colby returns
Mary receives a visit from the prostitute Sherry (Barbara Colby) she met in jail, who now wants to go straight. Mary encourages Sherry in her ambition to become a dress designer.
Colby is fantastic and the main set-piece of Mary in a gaudy and revealing dress designed by Sherry is great.
Barbara Colby went on to play the regular role of Phyllis Lindstrom's employer and confidant in the spin-off Phyllis but was killed in a drive-by shooting after filming just three episodes.
