Frases destacadas:
Opening Narration: Small message of reassurance to that horizontal young lady: don't despair, help is en route. It's coming in an odd form from a very distant planet, but it's nonetheless coming... Submitted for your approval, the case of one Miss Agnes Grep, put on Earth with two left feet, an overabundance of thumbs and a propensity for falling down manholes. In a moment she will be up to he jaw in miracles, wrought by apprentice angel Harmon Cavender, intent on winning his wings. And, though it's a fact that both of them should have stood in bed, they will tempt all fates by moving into the cold, gray dawn of the Twilight Zone.
Closing Narration: A word to the wise now to any and all who might suddenly feel the presence of a cigar-smoking helpmate who takes bankbooks out of thin air. If you're suddenly aware of any such celestial aids, it means you're under the beneficial care of one Harmon Cavender, guardian angel. And this message from the Twilight Zone.
Curiosidades:
- Uno de los asistentes a la fiesta se llama Burnett, como la protagonista Carol Burnett.
- Tanto este episodio como Mr. Bevis fueron dos intentos infructuosos de venderle a la CBS un nuevo formato de serie que girase en torno a un personaje (en este caso el ángel Cavender) que se dedica a ayudar a los demás con desastrosos resultados. Iba a ser una serie cómica, y de hecho la primera emisión y la mayoría de las subsiguientes repeticiones de este episodio incorporaban risas enlatadas.
