!!This film features examples of:
* GoneSwimmingClothesStolen: An episode had this happen to Wood and two other men.
* {{Pilot}}: The pilot for the show is notable for being double the length of an average episode, something normally reserved for dramas rather than sitcoms. (Although few series nowadays of any type go for the extended pilots, with ''Series/{{Lost}}'' the most high-profile exception.)
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: On July 12 and 19, 1993, the series aired a two-part episode, "Harlan & Merleen," as a proposed spin-off of the series. The pilot had the Eldridges open their home to young pregnant women who needed help (one was played by Creator/LeahRemini). The pilot did not achieve series status.
* SweetHomeAlabama: The series is about an ex-professional football player who returns to his hometown of Evening Shade, Arkansas, to coach a high-school football team with a long losing streak, and the overall general theme of the show is the appeal of small-town life, with the opening including clips from around Arkansas.
