    JJ is called first. (Goof)

    JJ was called into the doctors office first, but everyone that was sitting in the waiting room was there before him. As mentioned by the guy sitting next to JJ (Jay Leno), everyone that was waiting to be seen all had a VD.

    • Trivia
      When Thelma and Michael return, JJ drops the medical encyclopedia and grabs an issue of Ebony Magazine. The cover of the issue features Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford, the stars of one of Norman Lear's other hit shows, The Jeffersons (1975).
    • Goofs
      Even though it could actually be possible, when the family use the medical encyclopedia to look up "VD", the section of the letter "V" is strangely near the front of the book
