At 25:00, the copyright notes looked exactly the same, and guess what? The year has changed to MCMLX. Not only the year in the copyright notes changed, but the A.T.F.P., I.A.T.S.E. and the N.A.B. Seal of Good Practice logos were rearranged. At 25:07, the Desilu Productions logo looked exactly the same. And at 25:09, still no sponsor shown in the credits, the Hutton Productions logo looked exactly the same, but that time, there was a byline that clearly said "Audience reaction technically produced." You see, the reason the Hutton Productions logo added that kind of byline was because the reaction of the audience who were viewing this was produced technically. Another reason applied to the audience reaction is because sometimes in more funny moments otherwise, they were having issues themselves. Kind of complicated, huh? Anyway, I loved this episode of the series. Bad news is, there is a cue mark shown, because of you-know-what. And that's all there is to talk about...

"Audience reaction technically produced" was a disclaimer CBS had added to shows that didn't shoot before live audiences but still had a laugh track during the period of the series. It was a reaction by Bill Paley in the aftermath of the quiz scandals, where he wanted everything that could be called made-up revealed. The problem was that the producers didn't want it (and in the case of this show, hid it in the very end of the credits when most people had already changed stations or gone to the bathroom) and CBS very quickly stopped the requirement. Two disclaimers that stayed: "[musical number] was previously recorded" on variety shows (which meant that it was a lip-synch) and "contestants were selected and interviewed in advance" and "this program was edited for broadcast" on game shows.
