* ValuesResonance: Herman’s ex, Rebecca, comes back into his life and reveals she’s a lesbian. She wants to have a child and asks Herman to contribute via artificial insemination. After thinking it over, Herman declines on the grounds that it’s against his conscience to father a child where he wouldn’t have any role in said child’s life. The subject matter is treated with the sensitivity it deserves. Herman respects Rebecca’s sexual orientation, and the show doesn’t hold her up to ridicule, as happened on other shows in that era. Rebecca, in turn, respects Herman’s decision, and he isn’t made out to be a jerkass for declining her request, with the show promoting the message that his rights matter just as much as hers.

* HilariousInHindsight[=/=]OlderThanTheyThink: The show's very premise, due to the arrival of a little animated film called ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut''.

* ValuesDissonance: In one episode, Heddy, to Louise's disgust, talks about her plans to seduce a fourteen-year-old boy, reasoning that he is at his sexual peak. Nothing happens, [[MaamShock as Heddy is put off her plan when the kid calls her "Ma'am"]], but it's unlikely that such a plot would be PlayedForLaughs nowadays.
