Line 21:
* [[It's a Wonderful Plot]]: Without Charles, the Powell family (and Charles's mother) end up with a lot more money, but they've all turned into spoiled jerks.
* [[Ivy League for Everyone]]: Late in the series, Charles gets accepted as a graduate student to Princeton.
* [[Joisey]]: After the move to syndication the show was explicitly set in New Brunswick, NJ.
** Rutgers students at the time jokingly identified one of the real restaurants on Easton Avenue as that owned by Charles' mother in later seasons.
* [[Never Learned to Read]]: One of Charles' friends is revealed to be illiterate when a fire breaks out and he can't read the instructions for a fire extinguisher.
* [[No Name Given]]: Charles and his mother. This was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the final episode ("Did you ever wonder why he had no last name?").
