* RefusalOfTheCall: In the Thanksgiving 1959 episode "Bentley's Double Play," Bentley is at first miffed that Kelly doesn't give him the option of refusing to direct this year's play, since he directed last year's, because he has too much work on a bank merger. Peter later volunteers him to direct the same play for the adult learning class...and provide the sets...and provide the costuming. Somehow, Bentley can't refuse the Peter's teacher and directs Peter's version and coaches Kelly on hers.
