* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the 1978 special "Happy Returns", the store is celebrating Mr. Grace's birthday; the staff have rehearsed an extended musical number to perform as entertainment. At the last minute, they have to perform something else, so they break into an impromptu version of "Steppin' Out". Okay. Suddenly, Mr. Grace appears, holding a puppet body under his neck, singing a song about "bread and drippin'" which contains only a couple of intelligible words in it. This weird little ditty doesn't fit with the other music at all, and turns Mr. Grace from guest of honor to entertainment with no explanation. Then, the staff segue into "Happy Birthday to You" as if nothing had happened. The actor who played him was quite literally on his last legs, but wanted one more scene to say goodbye. This was that scene, with him wheelchair-bound and barely able to speak. He died shortly after filming.
