Tammy Grimes sang a song that mentioned a telephone ("Hello! Ma Baby" from 1899). This song was written 19 years after the era in which The Virginian was to have taken place. Incorrectly regarded as a goof since several preceding episodes establish the series takes place in the late 1890s: "West" in 1897, "Riff-Raff" and "The Accomplice" in 1898.
