The Show
This episode was to be a fish-out-of-water situation comedy to replace the Donna Reed Show because Donna had announced her intentions to retire from television. The new series was to be produced by her then husband, Rudy Abel. The concept of a city family of "normal" city folks struggling in the country was taken over by "Green Acres" and a bigger cast by a competitive studio when Donna decided not to retire.
