Goofs
When the family is in the kitchen and Norma is admiring her new stove, the advertisement on the back page of the Los Angeles Free Press newspaper Karen is holding reads, "THE STEVE MILLER _AN_ SAILS INTO THE WHISKY _ _O-_O," and, to the right, it says "2-6." Some characters (represented by underscores) are blacked out, and the paper should read, "THE STEVE MILLER BAND SAILS INTO THE WHISKY A GO-GO." The Steve Miller Band did play at the Whisky a Go-Go in West Hollywood, California, on October 2-6, 1968 - two years before this episode takes place.

The Ties That Bind

Another very sweet episode, with the relationship between jack and Norma at the centre.

I don't know how 'The Wonder Years' managed to be so consistent, but it's a joy to behold.
