* CommutingOnABus: Bobbie Jo, played at the time by Pat Woodell, was frequently absent from episodes in Season 2, and only made brief appearances in other episodes. Sometimes a FakeShemp was employed to allow Bobbie to be present. Pat Woodell was turning increasingly toward a singing career and eventually left the program, leading to Lori Saunders taking over the role, and Bobbie Jo getting a completely new personality.

The Cannonball doesn't keep a schedule (Floyd nor Charlie hadn't seen one in many years), and they accept Kate's Pies as fare.

Kate has secretly saved her own wedding dress and hopes Betty Jo will wear it, but her hope is seemingly dashed when Betty Jo buys a more modern, stylish wedding dress for herself.
