"The Perfect Hostess" is a great episode BUT one of my favorites is "A Visit From Uncle Jed" when Patty has the formal dinner party. Such a great episode! I wasn't sure what to expect when another relative was visiting but this one turned out to be one of the best episodes!

I know I probably wouldnt recoginize him because he was so young back then.

I believe Scott Glenn's scene was in the Shake Shop. IIRC he might have been a waiter.

As for the episode itself, it was a pretty good one. It was great seeing Patty Duke do triple duty opposite herself. I particularly liked the scene towards the end where Cathy catches Patty doing what Patty does best.

Does anyone know a place where this episode is available to watch online? I don't have any tapes so...

I watched this the other night. I wonder if they taped Patty's face up to give it a slightly different look than the Patty and Cathy characters. Her eyes looked different, slightly slanted, etc. It may have been the way the blonde wig was fastened on. In the book TV Land To Go (2002) that ranks TVLand's 100 Top Episodes of All Time, this came in at #42 and was the only episode of the series to make the list. I do think it's one of the best, but the banjo music constantly playing kind of annoys me, and there are a few others I like better, like "Let Em Eat Cake", "Patty the Chatterbox", "Double Date", or "Patty Pits Wits: Two Brit Hits".
