* FirstNameBasis and TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: In one scene, Greg calls his parents by their first names, "'Mornin', Carol. Mornin', Mike." Mike, with raised eyebrows, says that kids calling their parents by their first names might be the "in" thing for some households, but around the Brady household, he is still expected to address his parents as "Mom" and "Dad."

* HeyItsThatGuy: Chris Beaumont, but moreso to ''BradyBunch'' fans than anything, as he's not particularly well known outside of his four appearances throughout the series, all as various teenagers. This was the first, playing a high school senior whom Greg tries to emulate. He'd later play a slick-talking salesman who sells Greg a lemon of a classic car, one of Greg's college friends and (finally) a rival high school quarterback whom doesn't trust his scouts and resorts to cheating.

* {{Retcon}}: Later on, with the attic room that Greg wants to move into. In this episode, Mike says he'd approve the move if he were 2 feet tall! A possible explanation is that the writers hadn't yet truly established a series bible, as in the very next season, with the episode "'''Jan's Aunt Jenny'''," the attic is walk in. While one possible explanation is that Mike had the house modified for an unfinished room/walk-in attic, the show's bible would eventually establish that the unfinished room was always walk-in with the expectation that one of the older kids would eventually move up there ... which Greg would do at the end of the fourth season.
