Carol's good buddy Jim Nabors sings "One Life," returning to appear with Carol, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence in the "Gunslinger" comedy sketch and the song-and-dance finale, "Rimshot." Carol, Vicki and Harvey also appears in what was only the second "Family" sketch, with Eunice,, Ed and Mama trying to maintain a loving spirit after returning home from church.
