    I can't really understand this episode. Most of the kids spend like, over two hours on the phone everyday when they were young, remember, this is season one, and Greg, the oldest is only in his last year of junior high school. But anyway, everybody is always on the phone when they're young, but when they grow up and in season five, you rearely see anybody on the phone for five minutes. Its strange how they do that. But anyway, the episode was great. But if I had a pay-phone in my house that I had to pay ten cents every phone-call I'd go nuts. But also another thing, its like the kids only had two bucks in their wallet or something. Nobody reall ever had a lot of nickels and or dimes, whatever. Its like everyone was poor, but oh well, I enjoyed the episode a lot.moreless

    • When Mike is trying to reach Mr. Crawford on the payphone, at one point he is told that Mr. Crawford had to take a call from London. Presumably, this whole sequence is occuring in the evening some time since Mike has come home from work (along with Sam being there to take Alice on a date). If we estimate the time to be 4 pm Pacific Time (since the show took place in CA), then it would've been 12 am in London, a very unusual time to be placing a business call. Edit
    • In this episode, Jan tells her friend that she's happy with her freckles. In "The Not-So-Ugly Duckling", Jan despairs over her freckles and wants to get rid of them. Edit
