Given that Lisa and Oliver married in the mid 1950s, the $2,000 price of the engagement ring Oliver gave Lisa would have a monetary value of approximately $2,900 in 1970, when this episode originally aired, and a value of about $27,000 in the year 2024. The $8 it was appraised for by Lisa's father would equal approximately $11.60 in 1970. The $17,000 price of the silver set in Lisa's dowry would equal approximately $24,600 in 1970 and about $193,300 in 2024. The $6 value of Oliver's appraisal would have equaled approximately $8.70 in 1970.
Darlene and Eb have been going together for two months.
This is the fourth of five appearances Judith McConnell makes in the series. In each appearance, she plays Darlene Wheeler, Eb's girlfriend.
This is the fourteenth of 15 appearances Robert Foulk makes in the series. In his first 11 appearances, he plays Hooterville farmer Roy Trendell; in this appearance, he also plays a farmer, but farmer Wheeler, the father of Eb's girlfriend Darlene.
Lisa's "Greek fellow with all the boats" is a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, perhaps best know for his 1968 marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy.
