Episode Notes |
| |
This episode, along with Pappy and Gun-Shy, appears on the Warner Brothers DVD release of the series.
| This episode is reportedly James Garner's favorite of the series.
| Shady Deal at Sunny Acres marked the final appearance of Diane Brewster as con woman Samantha Markham and her only appearance of Season Two. It was also the swan song of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Dandy Jim Buckley who had appeared in two prior Season Two entries.
| Eddie Haskell himself, aka Ken Osmond, has an uncredited bit part as a bellboy.
| John Dehner would return in Marshal Maverick, The Devil's Necklace, and Greenbacks, Unlimited.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Bret: (about getting his money back) I'm workin' on it.
| Pappyism #1: There are times when a man must rise above principle.
| Pappyism #2: You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time and those are pretty good odds.
| Bates: How did you get $15,000 in the middle of the night?
Bret: Faith, Mr. Bates, and the friendly laws of probability. Playing poker.
| Bret: (to Bates) Now I know why you didn't insist on a service charge.
| Sheriff: (to Bret) I can't run you out of town for doin' nothing.
| Bret: Sheriff, by the time my room rent's up I'll have my $15,000 and be on my way.
| Bates: Maverick, you're a real clown. Sunny Acres hasn't had such a belly laugh since Eddie Foy was here two years ago.
| Bart: (raising a glass) Here's to good business, Mr. Bates.
Bates: For both of us.
| Reporter: Is whittling your hobby?
Bret: No. No. Money.
| Bret: Mornin', Sheriff. You look like a man with a burden.
Sheriff: I am. You.
| Bates: After all, if you can't trust your banker, Bartley, who can you trust?
| Granville: Mr. Mansfield, did you ever meet Mr. Maverick?
Bart: I'm afraid I don't have time for it right now. I'm in a bit of a hurry.
| Bret: Sheriff, it isn't often I can say this but I feel I'm leavin' Sunny Acres a better place than I found it.
