* {{Anvilicious}}: Many of the World War 2 episodes were dedicated to explaining or promoting various wartime programs (rationing, War Bonds, etc). A lot of them were less than subtle (or subtile, as L & A would have put it) about it.

Thankfully, Lauck and Goff listened to fan complaints and switched back to the old soap opera format.
