- TriviaAlmanzo makes a comment that she liked Laura's cinnamon chicken better than a chicken dish she prepared. This is in reference to Back to School Part 1, when she made cinnamon chicken with a great deal of amount of cayenne pepper.
- GoofsAfter Ralph pulls Willie's hair, Laura explains to Ralph that she knew he had done so because she saw him out of the corner of her eye. However, Laura's back is to both Ralph and Willie, and despite her peripheral vision, she would not have been able to see it happen as she claims.
- Quotes

Featured review
Mrs. Oleson, school marm
Things are getting mighty interesting in the school house! Willie's being his own annoying self, Albert's not enjoying his sister being the teacher, and nobody really understands the Burroughs of New York City! But when Mrs. Olsen is told some more cultural classes should be added, Laura refuses to teach them and quits her job.
On Mrs. Oleson: She can cook in this episode. I wish the writer's would make up her mind on her domestic abilities! It seems to me that in some episodes she doesn't have a domestic bone in her body while in others she is just full of domesticity! Second, she is not a good school marm! I always cringe when she starts showing nude pictures in this episode. I personally feel this is way out of character for Mrs. Oleson who almost croaked when she caught Willie looking at the lingerie (sp) section of a catalog.
On the Wilder's: I really like Almanzo in this episode. He's a supporting husband who tries to help his wife do what she thinks is best. When Laura asks him what she should do, he simply tells her she's the only one who can decide that.
Overall, this is a great episode. I have to give it a ten because of the Laura/Almanzo scenes! I especially like his attitude with the special supper...Priceless! Especially when he mutters that he liked her cinnamon chicken better.
