** Foreshadowing Creator/AlyssaMilano's [[Series/Charmed1998 other noteworthy TV role]], there's an episode from Season 2 called "Charmed Lives" that takes place in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco. Ironically, Alyssa herself, doesn't appear in the episode.

** In "Mrs. Rossini's Uncle", Tony's issue with Sam dating Al is that he views Al as a hoodlum while Mrs. Rossini thinks it is cute that they might get married one day. No one seems to be bothered by the fact that Al is a full grown man around the age of 21 dating a child who is still in high school.

* AssPull: "In Sam We Trust," Sam is caught with an answer card during a test and only proves her innocence by pointing out that her answers don't match up entirely with the card. Unless she got nothing right, this proves nothing since she could have intentionally gotten some answers wrong to avoid suspicion. Or have been the one to give out cards. Even the best-case scenario is her covering up for the person that gave her the card...[[DesignatedHero which she was]].

* ValuesDissonance: These days the show's very title comes off as absurd; Tony is Angela's employee and their genders have nothing to do with it. This was mocked in ''{{Series/Community}}'' when a professor in media studies devotes his career to analyzing the titular question, only for Abed to deflate him with a lengthy lecture about why Angela was unquestionably the boss.

** One time, Tony invited Sam's English professor over under the pretense of authenticating an autographed copy of ''Literature/JaneEyre''. The autograph is a forgery performed by Tony himself and not done very well. ("Bronte does not spell her name with a 'y'.") Given that Tony Danza would later teach an English class in real life, it's unlikely he'd make this mistake himself.

* GeniusBonus: "Men Are People, Too," Mona seduces a guy using the Toreador Song from Carmen. Said guy, Ralph, was hired to install a skylight in the kitchen and didn't believe in mixing business with pleasure, so he had previously ignored Mona until she found out all of his likes (hard-working, family-oriented, opera lover) and pretended to be interested in the exact same things. They had one date and she dumped him for someone else, having only been interested in the challenge of a man who didn't immediately go running after her. This lead Ralph to temporarily leave the job half-finished as he was unable to be in the same house as Mona. The Toreador Song is the introduction of Escamillo, romantic rival of formerly honest, overly-dedicated soldier Don Jose. Don Jose was previously uninterested in Carmen, which made him extremely interesting to her. When he's tasked with arresting her for attacking another woman with a knife, she seduces him mainly in order to gain her freedom, convinces him to go AWOL and ultimately leaves him for someone more fun when he wants more of a commitment from her.
