** Francine attempts one in "Shallow Vows", and it backfires spectacularly. When Stan says that they married for looks, she stops doing her daily exercise and beauty regimens for the two weeks before their vow renewal ceremony, and show up overweight, hairy, and gap-toothed, causing Stan to flee. Stan tells Klaus that he does love Francine but can't get past her appearance, so he has the CIA detach his retinas so he can be with her again. Though he becomes much more attentive and considerate, his disability makes it impossible for him to provide for the family, forcing Francine to look for a job. Unwilling to do so, she accepts that she's just as shallow as Stan, so they both [[SnapBack go back to normal at the end of the episode]].

* ThickerThanWater: There's a noticable effort from the writers to reaffirm from time to time the Smiths do love each other, no matter how much they actively or accidentally hurt one another, even with the levels of ComedicSociopathy in all family members gradually increasing in later seasons; it easier to notice when compared to other [=McFarlane=] series such as ''Family Guy'' who have the writers far less concerned with such family bond reminders amongst the Griffin family. The Smith family is more or less a stable disfuncional unit.

** "Office Spaceman" ends the opening sequence early to have Stan see a picture of Roger on the front page of the paper, followed by Stan going inside and scolding him.
** In "Naked to the Limit, One More Time", Roger appears in Stan's car without a disguise, causing Stan to swerve off the road.
** In "Persona Assistant", Roger doesn't appear next to Stan in the car, baffling Stan, who sings "Oh, boy it's swell to say..." again.
*** Later in the same episode, Stan wakes up to sing his song again, only to notice that it is mayhem outside because of how he messed up with Roger's personas, and he sings, "Good m-morning..., USA..." sadly.
** "Bullocks to Stan", "Stan of Arabia", "Haylias", "Tearjerker", "100 A.D.", "Hot Water", "Hurricane!", "For Black Eyes Only" and "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" don't have the standard opening.
** "Flirting With Disaster" has the opening replaced by a parody of the opening to ''[[Series/TheOfficeUS The Office]]''.
** "A Pinata Named Desire" and "Lost in Space" have the opening shortened.
** In "A Little Extra Scratch", after Stan's broker tells him he is about to lose the house, Stan is way too distraught to sing the theme song that he stays in bed wide-eyed and grey-haired. Klaus, Hayley, Steve and Francine are still in their positions for the opening waiting for him to leap down the stairs. When Hayley gets paged, she tells Steve to put the peace sign on Stan's back for her. Roger is still waiting in Stan's car dressed as Evel Knievel saying he's got "shit to do".
