The Show

Leigh Christian takes over the role of Fran Hooker from Lee Bryant.

This is the first episode of the series to be shown on CBS. As such, it was the first Aaron Spelling-produced series to appear on a network other than ABC. Since Spelling was still under contract to ABC, that probably accounts for why only Leonard Goldberg is credited on this episode and all other episodes this season as Executive Producer.
