This episode first aired right after the "I Love Lucy" episode "Lucy Goes To Scotland" on February 20, 1956, on CBS.
Desi Arnaz used this episode to promote his MGM film "Forever Darling" which was then in release. It is mentioned twice in the dialogue. MGM (Metro) is also mentioned.
Although Mrs. Arnaz (Lucille Ball) does not appear, she is mentioned twice in the dialogue as "Lucy". Mr. Murray says he warned Desi not to marry Lucy because she is "scatterbrained" - a word often attributed to Lucy Ricardo, but not Lucille Ball.
Desi Arnaz is described as a "movie star" with no mention of his television fame.
Lily says that Desi Arnaz sang "Babalu" eighteen times.
