Dean Martin introduces the first Lane Family sketch, expanding upon Kay Medford's Season 6 role as pianist Ken Lane's mother. In Season 7, the sketches with Mrs. Lane are moved to the Lane household, with a new sitcom cast of regulars including Marian Mercer as Mrs. Lane's daughter Vickie, Tom Bosley as Vickie's boyfriend Freddie, and Lou Jacobi as widowed next-door neighbor Mr. Kapopolis. Bosley does not appear in this episode, though Freddie is referred to in conversation and on the other end of a telephone call.
