Williams, MacLeod Guest Star

This episode which is really two stories: Marilyn and her insomnia, and Grandpa's cure, and Grandman's magic pill that turns water into gasoline which draws interest from a nearby oil company.

Grandpa gives Marilyn a "Sleeping Beauty pill" instead of a normal sleeping pill. Only a prince can wake her up and that turns out to be "Richard A. Prince"(Grant Williams, who played the lead in the '50s sci-fi classic "The Incredible Shrinking Man ) representing the Reliable Oil Company, who comes to the house not for Marilyn but to get a deal and his pill invention.

Gavin MacLeod of "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Love Boat" TV fame, has a two-minute guest spot. He is young, has dark hair (or a wig) and a deeper voice but you can't mistake his nasal voice and accent.

Overall, a so-so episode. Seen better; seen worse.
