Trivia
Janet Waldo was expecting a baby when this episode was filmed. Her delicate condition was concealed and very well hidden by a heavy winter coat. Born in 1919, she was in her early 30s when this episode was filmed with her character playing a High School student. She was only two years younger than Desi Arnaz.

Goofs
When Desi exits the kitchen he has white cream on his dark suit. When he enters the living room, the cream is gone.

Quotes
Lucy Ricardo: Now, what about boys your own age?
Peggy: Oh, they're all so icky.
Lucy Ricardo: They're icky, huh?
Peggy: Yeah. Except Arthur... Arthur Morton. He's wonderful. He's got curly hair, big, sad eyes, and floppy ears. He looks like Gregory Peck.
Lucy Ricardo: Sounds more like Lassie!

Teenagers fall in love with Ricky and Lucy. That's pretty much the episode. Lucy and Ricky work together and look older to scare off the teens. Not a bad episode but it's missing Fred and Ethel however there's no room so it makes sense.
