* YouAreGrounded: Marcia is excluded (surprisingly, rather harshly and cruelly) from an anticipated family ski trip after she refuses to explain why she snuck out of the house late at night to mail a letter. [[note]](To add: Robert Reed probably wanted to do the same with the writer who suggested there was a midnight deadline ... as virtually all post offices are closed at midnight and the letter would have arrived after the stated deadline for entries.)[[/note]]

* TechnologyMarchesOn: If the show took place in this day and age, all Marcia would have to do is fill out a form and click a button online. Granted, she could still get into trouble for being on the computer so late.

* PrecisionFStrike: The mild profanity "hell" makes it past the censors – and this was on a situation comedy, much less a family sitcom, that aired during the "Family Hour" in early 1970, a full year before ''AllInTheFamily'' debuted, where hells, damns and stronger words were uttered regularly. The scene in question is where Mike comes home, walks in the living room and sees the kids, Alice and Carol dressed up and the entire editorial board of the ''Daily Chronicle'' assembled for the newspaper's "Father of the Year" contest. Mike laughs and – not knowing what's going on – asks, "The hell's going on here?" (Most likely, the intended line was "What's going on here?") This was likely one of the earliest instances of a sitcom, much less a family sitcom, where someone uttered profanity on the air.
