Lucy show biographer Geoffrey Mark Fidelman reveals in his book that Vivian Vance had a different suggestion for this episode. Vance suggested to Lucy that instead of doing a retrospect of past Lucy Show episodes that they should do a retrospect of all the memorable shows they have done. This would have included clips from I Love Lucy. Lucy, however, rejects the idea and the filmed episode it what was made.
This was the first episode of "The Lucy Show" to use the new Paramount Television logo at the end (by that time, Desilu was fully absorbed into Paramount).
