Lucille Ball also sold Handy Dandy vacuum cleaners in an episode of "I Love Lucy" titled "Sales Resistance" (1953).
The shot of Lucy stuck in the mail bag seen during the opening credit sequence was taken from this episode.
CBS originally aired this episode in black and white.
Mabel Albertson, who played Mrs. White, went on to play Darrin Stephens' mother on Bewitched, Donald Hollinger's mother on That Girl, Howard Sprague's mother on The Andy Griffith Show, and Dick Preston's mother on The New Dick Van Dyke Show.
