Line 67:
* [[My Own Private I Do]]: Though the series starts with them already married, it's revealed that Jamie and Paul did this - the Plan First, Elope Later type. It happens in the middle of the night, on the sidewalk, performed by a ConEd worker, while Jamie has toothpaste on her face. And [[It Makes Sense in Context|it's adorable.]]
* [[One We Prepared Earlier]]: The Thanksgiving Episode!
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Their next door neighbor Maggie (Judy Geeson) was married to a man named Hal (Paxton Whitehead). Early on, they switched the actor playing Hal (to Jim Piddock) in an implicit "Other Darrin" situation. Much later, they switched ''back,'' and retconned that they were two ''different'' Hals (Paxton-Hal was her first ''and third'' husband), thus un-Othering the Darrin.
** Further, Jamie's parents were played by three different sets of actors, culminating in Carol Burnett and Carroll O'Connor.
** Even more Kent Brockman, Jaimie's Boss was played by [[Alan Ruck]] (of [[Spin City]] and [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]) but inexplicably changes between seasons 4 and 5.
* [[The Perry Mason Method]]: Uncle Phil is brought up on charges for illegally collecting old newspapers from the neighbors in his building, then amassing a fortune's worth of coupons. Phil calls the prosecutor to the stand, then proceeds to absolutely ''decimate'' his case by guilt-tripping the attorney about his parents, clipping coupons to pay for his law courses.
