Trivia
The tune played by the flautist auditioning is "Fling it here! Fling it there!" by the band The Yetties of Yetminster, a song about a mechanical manure spreader gone haywire.

Goofs
The term "Nerd" is used, and though it was a nascent term in 1958, it did not come to have its modern meaning, which is how it was used in the episode, until after early 1970.

Quotes
Rose Weissman: We were worried, Miriam, worried sick, if you must know.

Wow! No One Else Reviewed This!

Midge is getting serious now. When Joel condescends to tell her he is willing to give it another try, she rejects him again. She is finding her voice more and more and Susie decides she needs seasoning. They go on a tour of comedy clubs from the dives to the Copa. She pushes Susie to open up. She begins to listen to comedians on records. She observes Red Skelton and begins to understand pacing and delivery. It is obvious that although she has the material and the emotion, she has a great deal to absorb.
