* TheOtherDarrin: Two of the kids had their voice actors recast: Chet (David Hayward and Lennie Weinrib) and Jamie (Creator/JackieEarleHaley and Willie Aames[[note]]the same one who played Buddy on ''Charles in Charge''[[/note]]).
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The prices are ''very'' much [[TheSeventies 70s]] prices, with things like a dollar being enough to send someone to the movies, college costing $4,000 a year...
** The presence of hippies.
** Irma not having a job herself.
** One episode mentions that the movie theatres are playing "X"-rated movies. You wouldn't go to a standard movie theatre to view an "X"-rated movie after TheEighties.
** Chet being given an induction letter (A draft notice). Very much a thing that would have stopped - even though men in the US still ''do'' have to sign up for selective service.
** Jaime's camera is very much a [[TheSeventies 70s]] camera.
** Characters expressing disappointment at having fried chicken for dinner. Fifty years later, Fried chicken places became so popular some towns even declared them a public nuisance for the amount of traffic they generate.

* FollowTheLeader: This show was both a follower and a leader on several issues. It was another animated sitcom that Hanna-Barbera had done before (''The Flintstones''), but, as mentioned in the main page, it became the inspiration for a lot of modern animated family sitcoms, like ''The Simpsons'', ''King of the Hill'', ''F is for Family'', Mark Hentamenn's short-lived series ''Bordertown'', and Creator/SethMacFarlane's trio (''Family Guy'', ''American Dad'', and ''The Cleveland Show'').

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: No season other than the first one has been released on DVD. Originally this was one of the shows that were rumored to have been a bad seller that resulted in no further releases. Years later this was later explained further by the Warner Archive that there are some clearances in the later episodes that were costly. Under the Warner Home Video standard, the sales made getting those clearances seem too high a risk. However under the Warner Archive model, they may eventually see the light of day. The show was rerun on the Canadian "Teletoon Retro" channel for a spell in 2008, Cartoon Network aired reruns in TheNineties and Boomerang aired reruns in the mid-2000s.

* FollowTheLeader: This show was both a follower and a leader on several issues. It was another animated sitcom that Hanna-Barbera had done before. But its own style was imitated in the future by most of Fox's lineup.
** This also was the first example of Hanna Barbera bringing in an outside style and mixing it into their own. As mentioned below it had a different design but was still likable among the studio's general fans.
* PlayingAgainstType: This was Hanna-Barbera's only show to deal with any sort of controversial socio-political topics, unlike their usual repertoire of broad comedy. It also broke the mold of their signature look by hiring Playboy cartoonist Marty Murphy as character designer (HB's in-house designer Iwao Takamoto refined them to be more animatable, and also based the minimalist background on Murphy's cartoons) in order to have a more explicitly "adult" appearance.
