Notes:
The wrap-around of this broadcast contains Dr. Dobson and Steve Harris talking about the program and their ambitions for the entire Family Portraits series.  Whit also talks to the audience during the opening of this episode.  It presents information about the founding of Odyssey and Whit's End, but some of it conflicts with information some information given in Recollections.  For instance, it says that he and Jenny started Whit's End as a kind of coffee shop in Odyssey and how Odyssey got its name.

During the course of the episode, Whit and Tom have their little discussion about Robert Lewis Stevenson, which is repeated in Promises, Promises.

The introduction of this episode says that the story is set in Odyssey, Ohio.

This was the only episode where the same person was writer, director, and production engineer: Steve Harris.

Unlike Whit's Visitor, this one did not have a wraparound by Dr. Dobson

Dr. Graves is the dentist's name.  No wonder Emily is afraid.

This episode was re-made as AIO8.

Notes:
Whit has another opening monologue with the audience on this episode; he introduces some of the families. George Poindexter is introduced, played by Chuck Bolte, who also played George Barclay. He says the newspaper is the Odyssey Chronicle.  It tells some of Whit's history, including his ties to Universal Encyclopedia and that he has lived here 17 years.  It also says that Jenny died nine years ago and that they were married for thirty-three years.  Later it mentions information about Whit's birth, mother dying, and raising in Scotland. It talks about the library at Whit's End.

Larry Walker is played by Jim Cummings, who also plays Monterey Jack in Chip 'N Dale's Rescue Rangers, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger on The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, among others.

Colleen Walker is played by the voice of Mary Barclay.

The episode presents a person named Bob working at Whit's End.

The ending has Dr. Dobson and Mike Trout talking about the episode and they once again mention that Family Portraits is set in Ohio.  They also call the main character Dr. Whit. James Drury notes that it might be Mike Trout called Dr. Dobson by his title, as in: "That's right, Doctor. Whit is..."

GOOF ALERT: Shawn says that she could see all the way to the bottom of Crater Lake.  Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and its bottom cannot be seen.

Certain elements of this episode copied into a far later episode, AIO348: With a Little Help from My Friends, including Blair's name as the one who gives into peer pressure, the situation of the father at work (later applied to Connie's mother), "Conformists Anonymous" which was changed to "Peer Pressure Anonymous", and the scripture reference, Romans 12:2.

In the opening wraparound of this episode, Dr. Dobson and Mike Trout talk about some of the negative mail they have gotten about the Family Portraits series.  One letter did not like inclusion of the teen/parent arguments in the program and another thought the programs sounded like they were from the 1950s.

This episode contains the first appearance of Dr. Blackgaard's voice, this time as the father.

This episode was perhaps the most "grown-up" of the Family Portraits, and more "grown-up" than most AIO episodes.
