* TyrannicalHomeownersAssociation: In "Just Your Average Dick," the Solomons move into a new apartment, located in a building run by a strict tenants' association. Sally joins the tenants' association and eagerly takes to being a petty tyrant. At the end of the episode, when the rest of the family wants to [[StatusQuoIsGod move back to their original apartment]], she refuses to go and give up her new position of power. Therefore, [[FailureGambit they break all the rules on purpose, tricking her into evicting them]].

As part of their charade as the Solomon family, Harry and Sally are Dick's brother and sister, even though there's a significant age gap in their Earthling forms[[note]]French Stewart and Kristen Johnson are 19 and 22 years younger, respectively, than John Lithgow, who was in his 50's during the show's run but looked older due to his receding gray hair[[/note]]; if they'd posed as his children along with Tommy, it would've been ''slightly'' more plausible.
