But Jeannie goes overboard with frugality, and serves a minuscule meal, along with stale bread, then introduces a young couple (Larry Bishop and Maggie Thrett) she's taken in as boarders. Witnessing the apparent budget constraints of the Nelsons, Gregorian concludes American astronauts are paupers and the space program is on a shoestring. Unhappy about Gregorian's impressions, Dr. Bellows gives Tony another chance to impress the VIP visitor. Stafford Repp appears as Lt. Morgan. | ||||||
