Line 24:
* [[Free-Range Children]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]: George Wilson. In one episode Wilson and the Mitchells decide how to approach Dennis to solve that week's problem. After they reach a solution Alice asks Wilson what he's thinking about and George says he's just trying to figure out how this solution will eventually backfire.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Ron Howard]] played one of Dennis's friends in a few episodes.
** In one episode Edward Everett Horton appears as John Wilson's Uncle, furious after Wilson turned his life story into a [[Rocky and Bullwinkle|Fractured Fairy Tale]].
** In one episode Mr Wilson hires [[All in The Family|Edith Bunker]] as a maid.
Line 36:
* [[Just Eat Gilligan|Just Eat Dennis]]
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Jay North always wore a striped shirt and overalls like comic strip Dennis for the first three seasons. For the fourth he was allowed to wear regular pants, but they were the same color as the overalls and he still wore the striped shirts.
* [[Lucky RabbitsRabbit's Foot]]: An episode called "The Lucky Rabbit's Foot". In it, Dennis has what he thinks is a lucky rabbit's foot. With recent bad luck Mr. Wilson has been having, Dennis offers to let him borrow the foot. Mr. Wilson, however, doesn't believe in such superstition and doesn't take the foot. Immediately thereafter, his bad luck continues when something jams his lawnmower, and he runs over his garden hose with the mower.
* [[Maintain the Lie]]: In one episode John Wilson fears a glamourous movie star will feel he is too old to write her life story, so he inlists Henry Mitchell to meet with her as him instead. Cue the hilarity when both Alice and Eloise come home early.
* [[Menace Decay]]: Like the comic strip, the first few episodes had Dennis being more of an actual menace then the innocent naive boy "just trying to help" that later episodes turned him into.
