In "a problem too personal," Eugene and Harriett got into an argument in front of the book store location!
In the episode "a correct setting," the Bishop Prinn is driving a red Chevrolet! A few minutes later in a tag check the Bishops car comes back to a Oldsmobile Cutlass? Close-ups of the bumping collision of his car off the road show the make!
In the episode "poor relations," Roy pulls his truck and trailor in Parkers driveway and turns off the engine. There is a backfire, a loud boom that scares Ms. Yohay and she starts running. When she runs, look closely and you will see Roy pulling into the driveway.....again?

The actress Deborah Duke played Odessa Robbins in the episode "odessa." Without a lot of make-up she is the maid Mathilda in the episode "the more things change!" Question?
