    • Trivia
      At the Continental Club, Blondie's French dinner was $26.00, Betty Jane's Spanish dinner was $23.50, Johnny's Russian dinner was $24.00, & Dagwood's swiss cheese on whole wheat was $0.90. The final bill, including wine, was $94.50, which is comparable to $1,213.28 in 2018 prices.
    • Goofs
      The listing for Dagwood in the phone book is "Bumstead Dagwood 819 Main St WAlnut 4421," yet earlier, in the mayor's office, when Dagwood called Blondie, the phone number he gave to the operator was MAple 4759. It would've been extremely rare to have two separate phone lines in the household, especially for an everyday working man like Dagwood.

    Dagwood Moves Up and Bumps His Head
    So Dagwood can be a true executive if only he can remember to put his pants on. Then too don't let him pick up the check at a fancy restaurant unless you have ear-muffs on. For geezers like me, the series brings back long ago memories, like going through an operator to make a phone call, or welcoming home vets from the war. Speaking of vets, after seeing Sgt. McDermott I think I'll re-enlist, post-haste.

    It's a typical B&D funfest though the material slows down a bit toward the end. Seems Dagwood starts up his own construction co. after Dithers fires him. Now if he can just get Butler Sr. to check out his theater plans, his budding enterprise will get a big boost. Good thing there's a Butler Jr. and the cute Sergeant to help rescue his bumbling ways. Of course Blondie's amusingly on hand to stiffen hubby's spine, while Daisy and puppy crew complement the hijinks. Looks like this is actress Orr's only performance (IMDB). Too bad, because she's perfect as the affable army girl, and wholesomely lovely, to boot.

    Looks like this series installment was produced at WWII's end with its emphasis on jobs for returning vets. Note too how well the various antics are blended into the whole, none lasting too long or with too much talk. Thus things seldom drag, though the laughs may slow as the comedic material ebbs. The results may not be art, but they do reflect excellent craftsmanship.

    Anyway, it's hard to go wrong with one of the best comedy series of that time or any time, as this installment shows.
