| 1 | Lots of the subject matter on this show was meant for adults, despite being a family-friendly show (for the early 1970s). |
| 2 | |
| 3 | * The opening theme has a part where Alice heads out on a date with a guy standing at the door. The scene spins around and the next time she comes in, [[SexDressed her clothes are tattered and her glasses are skewed]]. One of the later episodes reuses some of this footage when Alice reveals a somewhat grungy young fellow her parents didn't like very much. They rescued her from the clean-cut looking fellow who turned out to be a "pervert" in some unspecified way (that had something to do with [[DateRapeAverted trying to pull her into his car against her will]]; hence a stretched sleeve on her clothes). |
| 4 | * The first episode focused on Harry being accused of cheating on his wife, with all the relevant innuendos played up as a ParentalBonus. (The motel where Harry puts his attractive female client up for the night has a rather sleazy-looking manager who's genuinely surprised when he sees Harry actually sleeping out alone in the car as he said instead of sharing the room with her.) |
| 5 | * The second episode, "Alice's Dress", was about Alice planning to wear a dress with a see-through top, and Harry and Irma worrying about how sex and female nudity seem to be plastered everywhere from red-light districts to ads on TV. The second episode even got away with showing a topless woman in a see-through nightie ([[NippleAndDimed her nipples weren't shown]], but still, having them out and uncovered was quite a feat for 1970s TV). |
| 6 | * In the third episode, "The Beach Vacation", the Boyles rent a beach home. Harry and Irma have to deal with Alice dressed in a bikini and fraternizing with a group of nude sunbathers. |
| 7 | * One episode had the family dealing with a heat wave... and Harry suggests taking the family to a movie theatre where all the films are X-rated. He says, "We'll cover our eyes and breathe in the air." This is a bit of ValuesDissonance though - The "X" rating wasn't ''purely'' porn in TheSeventies. |
