* RunningGag: Once or twice a season there would be a spectacularly destructive event that the characters just barely avoid getting seriously hurt, typically a series of DisasterDominoes that gets worse until the roof caves in. Probably the most famous was an attempt at Hayden and Christine getting married had Christine instead crash through a stairway banister, grab on to the chandelier for a moment before falling into the cake. Luthor won the grand prize in ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' with that tape.

Renamed per TRS


There was an attempt at reviving the show in 2015, but it was canceled due to a troubled production and an unsuccessful pilot. Notably, the new series would have written Christine out as [[McLeaned having died]] due to Shelley Fabares battling autoimmune hepatitis and being unavailable for production.

Positive Discrimination is no longer a trope


* FlawlessToken: Hayden learns that a current member of his team is gay, which leads to the discovery that previous players were also gay and kept that information from him. All of whom were excellent players. Terry, the current gay player, is a hard-working and level-headed kid who ends up putting Hayden in his place about passive-aggressively singling him out during practice after learning he was gay.
