- TriviaAccording to the book "Archie & Edith, Mike & Gloria: The Tumultuous History of All in the Family", the character of Dr. Thatcher from the "Archie's Operation" episodes was supposed to move in with the Stivics. However, the actress Vinnette Carroll was unavailable, so they went with Teresa moving in with the Bunkers.
- GoofsOn season five's "Everybody Does It" Archie is quoted as saying he's always stayed away from fish, but in this episode, after not eating the fish Teresa cooked, he's quoted as saying he likes seafood but couldn't eat the Pescado because the eyes are still on it.

Featured review
The frog that ate Tokyo
By this later season, this show was on a serious decline, but this is a fine gem which re-introduces Teresa(Liz Torres)as a minor character. Archie is looking to rent a room to a boarder, and somehow Teresa, who once annoyed him during a hospital stay, winds up being the one chosen to live there. In case you didn't already know, the Stivic's moved out, and the Bunker's needed the extra income. It'll obviously take Archie some time to get used to her staying, and her outspoken Puerto Rican ways; plus, he's also dealing with Marvin the mouse! This isn't the greatest episode they ever did, but it adds a slightly different tinge than what you may be used to, and I felt that Torres had a fine performance, and more than held her own. One scene I did find odd had Edith telling Archie about a movie he liked being on the tube, while Teresa's studying for her exams in the same room. I think Edith dropped the ball right there, but this is still a fine episode during the weak run of this once great series.
