This episode is founded upon the barely plausible premise that when she was ten years old, Flo (Polly Holliday) babysat a 4-year-old boy named Jerry Reed. Now, of course, Reed is an all-grown-up country superstar (who plays himself in this episode), and Flo is not reluctant to brag about her brush with celebrity. But things turn sour for the wacky waitress when everyone in and out of Mel’s Diner demands that she get them free tickets for Jerry’s upcoming Phoenix concert., Because she once baby-sat Jerry Reed, Flo is hounded for tickets to the singer’s concert. Jerry plays himself. Alice: Linda Lavin. Vera: Beth Howland. Mel: Vic Tayback. Cappy: Graham Jarvis. Tommy: Philip McKeon. Henry: Marvin Kaplan.
