Line 24:
* [[Sound to Screen Adaptation]]: In reverse; a radio series was adapted from the TV show.
* [[Tragic Dream]]: Harold's repeated, failed attempts to better himself, combined with the acting ability of both Corbett and Brambell, provide some of the most tear-jerking moments in comedy.
* [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent]]: ''[[Sanford and Son]]'' is based on this show. It's also a rare crossover show that was both as successful and highly regarded in its new version as the original show it was inspired from. However the character of Fred Sanford, though hardly a saint, is considerably less cruel to his son, Lamont, than Albert is towards Harold. Also, Lamont is both smarter and less pretentious than the character he's based on.
* [[Typecasting]]: Both Corbett and Brambell suffered from this in their later careers.
