Plot
Rob (Dick Van Dyke) is supposed to watch a TV special in order to talent-scout for his boss Alan Brady -- and of course, Alan is certain to ask Rob what he thought of the show. At the same time, our hero is slated to attend a cousin's wedding in Albany. Sure enough, the TV set in Rob's hotel room conks out, forcing him to scramble around to locate another set in a hurry -- which gets him mixed up in a '60s rehash of an old French bedroom farce! This episode was originally slated to air on January 12, 1966. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie GuideCast
