Also, I noticed that Al Lewis was not in the first two episodes, does anyone know when his debut was?

I'm not certain when Al Lewis made his debut, but before he became "Officer Schnauser", he appeared in episode # 7 ("Paint Job") as a guy working in an auto body shop which was really a front for a stolen car ring. I believe that Billy Sands (who later played "Tinker" in McHale's Navy) was his partner in the body shop. Toody and Muldoon bang up their squad car, and bring it into the body shop for a quick repair and paint job so they won't get in trouble with Captain Block. They end up getting back the wrong car, however.
