The Ending Must Be Seen To Be Believed

Yes, this is the Don Knotts episode, He plays a goofy relative of Harry's who's recently come into money. Harry sets Knotts up with Lucy, but after a disastrous date, it's obvious Lucy can't stand him and hatches a plan to turn him off.

Some good laughs in this one and Knotts sports some really dated, tacky outfits here foreshadowing his Ralph Furley character on Three's Company.

Lucy is wearing the longer Ann Landers/Betty White-sryle wig as she would for most of this season. The episode contains one of the most bizarre Lucy "disguises" in the final scene, where she appears as a werewolf complete with fangs! This makes for a strange scene as she and Knotts deliver their dialog on either side of the kitchen door so that Lucille Ball can change into the disguise just before she makes her final entrance. Weird as it is, that short scene is miles better than the entire Lucy and The Monsters episode of The Lucy Show.
