Episode Notes

While Reuben insists birth certificates are needed for passports, you don't need a passport to cross the US/Canadian border.

Although Shirley can't locate Danny's birth certificate, she waved it under the noses of several army induction officers in Episode #4.

Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted" was the second single for The Partridge Family. It was released in January, 1971 and sold a million copies within a month!
