Episode Notes

"You Wanted to See It" was a fictional show based on the real-life stunt show "You Asked For It," hosted by Jack Smith on ABC from 1958-1959 and in syndication from 1971-77. The year of this episode is 1956, and Art Baker hosted "YAFI" from 1950-58, meaning Smith wasn't hosting at the time, so that's probably why they didn't use that show's real name. Also, Baker couldn't be used because he died in 1966.

Melinda Naud is credited as "Mindy Naud."

This is Noriyuki "Pat" Morita's first appearance as Matsumo "Arnold" Takahashi.
