George Burns needs a kooky female sidekick for his act, and upon meeting Lucy - he decides she fits the bill.
Your enjoyment of this one will depend on your feelings about Burns as Lucy throws most of the episode his way and the second act consists almost entirely of them doing a stage routine.
There is a voice cameo from Jack Benny that is very funny where Mooney hands George the phone immediately and walks out of the apartment.
Gracie Allen had been dead for two years when this episode aired as the 5th Season Opener in 1966. There is a brand new set for Mooney's office but nothing about this is mentioned in the script.
The set decorators are obviously still taking advantage of the advent of telecasting in color. Lucy's pink suit and the blue furnishings in Burns' apartment are very eye-catching and George looks very tanned here.
