- TriviaIn an early scene Buzz turns right at a STOP sign onto Highway PA-114 East/West exiting from Interstate 83 in New Cumberland, PA. The intersection is recognizable as of August 2018.
- GoofsBuz arrives at Harrisburg-York State Airport and steps to the counter of Allegheny Airlines as we hear the announcement "502, from Newark, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, now arriving at gate 3." For the second of the departure cities, the public-address announcer says "Wilks Bar" rather than the correct, Pennsylvania pronunciation, "Wilks Berry."
Featured review
Hermetic story line
Silliphant's quite dated story material kept me from becoming interested in this episode, set on a chicken farm in rural Pennsylvania. There's one fine scene at the end of the show, but nothing gripping before it.
All the guest talent comprises a family headed by matriarch Beulah Bondi, who delivers a solid performance. The point is that they are a rigid, religious brood, typified by Pat Hingle, stiff as a board in an unplayable role, spouting bible quotations and about as likable as a dead tree. M & M are working in a sort of chicken factory, and their contribution to the episode is rather pointless, as shown in a scene where Maharis' guaranteed weekly fight scene consists of him punching Hingle in the tummy, cueing some turgid pathos by Pat.
Inger Stevens as an unwanted daughter-in-law shunned by most of the family when she shows up after her husband's death bearing a surprise bambino (Bondi's grandson) in her arms, does get a fine confrontation scene with BB at the climax.
Briefly impressive and empathetic as Hingle's young sister, Ann Dee is an unknown and actress, who wound up her unsuccessful career making a couple of softcore porn movies a decade later (one of which I reviewed, "Diamond Stud"), just before hardcore porn took over.
