    • Goofs
      When Doc asks people to donate blood he only asks for donors with s blood type AB, without mentioning the necessary Rh factor, a critical point he shouldn't have ignored. (If the child's blood type is AB- he could easily die if the donor is AB+.) Alternatively, Doc could have asked for blood type O-, which is universally acceptable by everyone, regardless of their blood type.

    Broadway Joe all aboard!
    This was a better segment than I expected, and 2 of the 3 stories were both done and acted very well, especially by a bearded Gary Burghoff and a non-bearded Jane Powell. The other faces include Howard Keel, Mary Wickes, Fred Willard, and Belinda Montgomery. I don't want to sound too harsh about the Namath/Willard story, but the whole premise seemed a tad silly, especially how a woman(Karen Grassle)would allow herself to be a pawn between both men; that being said, both men were funny together. About 1.5 years before this episode, Willard starred in one of my favorite films, titled Salem's Lot, so I was slightly anxious to see him here, and he did rather well. Without going into much detail, the other 2 stories were more interesting, and had a tinge of sadness to them, save for the awful laugh track. As I said above, the performances of Burghoff and Powell made this a very solid episode.
