According to Wikipedia,


We get to anticipate Mrs. Arnold in 100 episodes.

"Norma Arnold (Alley Mills): Kevin's stay-at-home mother. Unlike her husband Jack, she is friendly and upbeat. She met Jack as a college freshman. When he graduated, she moved across the country with him and didn't finish college. She eventually gets her degree late in the series, and starts working at a software startup called Micro Electronics. She is shown to be more moderate (in contrast with her more conservative husband) and increasingly becoming bored and yearning to break away from her homemaker role hence reflecting the rise of feminism in the 1960s. (100 episodes)"

What kind of crazy joint is this?









"No, Wayne, I don't know why you are even in this show, either.
Now hush.  We're trying to have a vacation."




"Get out of the shot, kid.  Me and my orange bow have this on lock."

Relegated to the back, again.

The number one national hit song of 1970 was, apparently, 
Three Dog Night doing "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)".  
Readers may remember that song being featured in
