Added DiffLines:

* StepfordSuburbia: Unintentionally done, as the narrator emphasizes "unemotional" discussion at the dinner table, and that it's a place for ''pleasant'' discussions. Even prior, Junior and Brother are discouraged from bringing up anything negative with Father after he comes home.
-->'''Narrator''': If they have disagreeable news, they'll postpone the discussion until another time.

!!The short provides the following tropes.
* BeYourself: Twisted, probably unintentionally. "With your own family you can relax, be yourself. Just be sure it's your ''best'' self."
* CluelessAesop: "It's nice to spend time with your parents/children, and being polite helps!" What's wrong with that? Well, this film, for one thing...
* DinnerAndAShow: Despite the repression and formality modern audiences see throughout the film, the onscreen family's dinner eventually turns into this trope as an example of what audiences shouldn't do.
* [[HeyItsThatVoice Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Hugh Beaumont as the Narrator.
* NoNameGiven: Everyone is named for their roles. Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, and Junior for the little one.
* TitleDrop: "Do you begin to see now how ''A Date With Your Family'' can be a truly special occasion?"

->'''Crow:''' This makes me want to heat up a Libbyland dinner and eat in front of the TV.
