* ''Series/MorkAndMindy'' has Mindy's landlord. His name passed without comment in the USA, but in Britain the series aired on a Sunday early evening either just before or just after the religious God-Slot. Imagine after Creator/HarrySecombe or the saintly Jess Yates have just hosted a reverend religious show with hymns and a sermon - and the next thing you hear is Creator/RobinWilliams [[note]]He lived for part of his childhood in Scotland and he ''certainly'' knew what the word meant[[/note]] placing very great emphasis on the name '''Mr Wanker'''. [[note]]Americans might have a better idea in the 2000s as to what a wanker is, but in TheSeventies it was just a random collection of phonemes[[/note]]

* On ''Series/MurphyBrown'', Corky Sherwood married a man whose last name was Forrest, making her married name [[RobinHood Corky Sherwood-Forrest]]. Rather amusingly, the actress who played Corky, Faith Ford, was married at the time to a man whose last name was Nottingham.
