A gag involving the grandson and an ironing board and later a lazy susan that malfunctions makes this episode more in tune with the type of humor Lucy used to do on her 60's and 70's sitcoms then the guest star appearances we have in episode 2 and 3. It's more of the grandchildren so those with sensitive ears beware. The grandkids have voices that are so squeaky that you feel you need to be checking under the floorboards for mice. The episode deals with dropping business at the hardware store due to bigger local competition and the decision to appear on television to promote their specials.
Of course Lucy interferes, and that creates some very silly situations that by this time in sitcom history were considered passe. It's better when it's Lucy and Gale Gordon being the focus, but unfortunately, the scene on the television talk show is very reminiscent of stuff that Lucy had done decades earlier even as far back as "I Love Lucy".
