A doctor (guest Ken Berry) about to take a trip to Hawaii gets a going-away gift from his patients (Carol, Vicki, Tim and guest James Garner) but their neuroses ruin the festivities · Guest George Carlin spoofs record offer advertisements · A recurring series of sketches of a construction worker (Tim) seeking several ways to try to get rid of his wife (Carol) · Ken and Vicki perform "My Cutie's Due at Two-to-Two Today" with the dancers · A dental hygienist (Carol) wreaks revenge on her ex-husband (George) who's her patient · Lovers (Carol and James) part · A musical finale about two penniless bums.
Also among the final shows aired by CBS, this one starts with Carol describing her 1959-62 run on The Garry Moore Show as "her biggest break in show business." The studio audience also wants to know about Carol's plans for the future, and she tells them about an upcoming TV movie based on humorist Erma Bombeck's writings (broadcast later that year, it was titled The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank). The lineup for this close-to-last hurrah is impressive: frequent guest star Ken Berry, prime-time veteran James Garner (Maverick, The Rockford Files) and comedian George Carlin. Berry plays a psychiatrist treating four patients in a remote cabin and Carlin plays a man getting his teeth "cleaned" by his vengeful ex-wife (Carol).
