In the background, whilst grandpa and Cate talk in the basement, you can see Rory going off to sell the washing basket. You can also hear a laugh from the audience, as Rory tips out the washing and takes up the basket. (edit)

This episode's title is a parody of "All in the Family". (edit)
Tape Date: Friday, March 5th, 2004. (edit)
Towards the beginning of the program, Rory mentions a website: sellyourcrapforcash.com. Visiting this address leads to a "coming soon" page, suggesting that ABC may have registered the site for a redirect, but it isn't up yet. (edit)

Quotes

Kerry: (boredly and flatly) Welcome to Davy Crockett's. Remember the Alamo...burger. (edit)
Zac: (to Kerry) I was gonna ask you out but you can like now forget it. (edit)
Kerry: Zac, what's going on? We're out of fries again. Here's an idea: if you take a batch of fries out you put another one in. It'll almost be like we're in the business of selling them! God how did you get this job anyways?
Zac: I was like I need a job, and they were like ok. (edit)
Rory: It's too much hassle to go to the Post Office.
C.J.: It's even more hassle when people start cancelling checks, repossessing your couch, taking you to court, suing you forcing you to change your name to initials....everyone looks at him)..hypothetically. (edit)
C.J.: Bridget, I saw you swipe that drink
Bridget: I didn't swipe anything, refills are free
C.J.: No, No, Ma Barker let me tell you something, only free refills are free? Guess how much 35-cent refills cost? Don't get a brain cramp? (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Kerry talks to Jim after he is rude to a costumer, look at the girl in the background putting that same box away twice. (edit)
When Bridget leaves from C.J's office, she doesn't pay the admission fee for the movie and she doesn't get in trouble for it. (edit)

The title "Mall In the Family" is probably off of the show, All In the Family. (edit)
