In this Albert E. Lewin story, the guys have to look after a seemingly abandoned "Chinese" baby.  I think nothing is more symbolic of this just OK first season than the fact that we get less than a minute of Oscar & Felix doing the "Who's on First?" routine, as if Marshall (who directed again) and company still don't know how the show can play to its strengths.  Note that Felix's son is nine and his daughter seven.

Jessica Myerson's first of three Odd roles is as Mrs. Ferguson, while Christopher Shea would be back twice as Phillip.  And we see Nancy and Murray again.
