The only appearance of Freddie Prinze lookalike Tony Orlando
"The Big Brush-Off" features the one and only appearance of Freddie Prinze lookalike Tony Orlando, fellow Puerto Rican and lead singer with Dawn, their variety show still on the air at this time. Irene De Bari makes her sole appearance as Ed's new accountant, Maria Estaban, who takes one look at Chico and sparks fly instantly. The enamored mechanic is ready to proclaim love at first sight but Ed thinks it's an illusion: "I went through that love at first sight, but I always took a second look!" No matter what her eyes seemed to say, her lips conveys a very different message: "I can't stand the sight of you!" Demanding a reason for her loathing, she confides that he's a dead ringer for her former fiancée, Tomas Garcia (Orlando). Ed takes a second look at Tomas Garcia: "no, God couldn't have made the same mistake twice!" The two Chicos appraise each other in unison with a familiar phrase: "Looking Good!" (Ed: "looks like a pair of bookends!"). Tomas shares his knowledge of the intellectual Maria, admitting that he gets totally carried away with women (Ed: "the last time I got physical with a girl, they carried me away too!"). Chico tries to brush up on brains to impress Maria, such as the seven deadly sins: "sneezy, sleepy, and dopey!" (lust is his personal favorite). Chico is blown away by her aggressive attraction to his newfound intellect, discussing the War of 1812: "lousy war, great overture!" With him trying to become someone he's not, she becomes more of an animal!
