Trivia
This is the first episode in which Agnes Moorehead does not appear. Although she receives credit for playing Endora in the opening titles of all 254 episodes, Moorehead made it clear early on that she had no wish to appear on a weekly basis. During the first season, she was contracted to play Endora in approx. 8 out of every 13 episodes.

Goofs
Mrs. Burns' pony tail that is pinned up is a different color than the rest of her hair. It is apparent that it is a hair piece.

Quotes
Darrin Stephens: I know you, Samantha.
Samantha Stephens: Oh, really? You only look vaguely familiar to me.

June Lockhart guest stars

June Lockhart has always been a welcome presence anywhere. In this episode, however, she is wasted. For openers, the premise of the story is not particularly engaging. She plays an overprotective mother who is afraid to let her son do anything. Why should we care about this? Why does Samantha get involved? Doesn't she have enough on her plate, working out her "witch to mortal" marriage? June Lockhart was the wrong choice for this role. Her character is drab and unlikeable. She also seemed to be faking some kind of an accent. Not convincing. June was too pretty and too nice to play an unlikeable character. Young Marshall is played by Jimmy Mathers (Jerry's brother),, if that matters to anyone.
