Character mistake: After Jack (who's hiding from Chrissy's mother) ducks behind the couch holding a mop, Chrissy's mother comes out of the bathroom (which from the camera angle shown is in a straight line facing the back of the couch where Jack is) and walks to the right and all the way around the couch and sees the mop behind the couch and picks it up without seeing Jack at all. From where the bathroom is, she would have just needed to walk straight for the mop and seen Jack (yet she missed him).

Stanley Roper: I want my rent.
Helen Roper: Stanley, where are your manners? You're supposed to say hello when you walk into a room.
Stanley Roper: Hello, I want my rent.
Trivia: In the episode where Janet asks Jack if she's a bad kisser, take a look at Janet when he kisses her. Jack unexpectedly slip Janet his tongue (which surprises the audience as well) and that throws Janet off and shocks her. Her surprised face is not acting, and was really surprised he did that. You'll also notice that when they part, she can't keep a straight face.
Suggested correction: This does not happen, their kiss is closed and for 2 seconds and Janet doesn't ask about her kissing. She says before the kiss when they have few mishaps trying to kiss before the final kiss that no-one has ever picked her kissing before and his response was, "Just shut up and kiss me!" She responds, "Okay fine!" Then they kiss, mouth closed just lips.
Question: I never understood the meaning of the dialogue in a scene with the Ropers in the first episode. Stanley says to Helen something like "Too bad you're not from India - you'd be sacred there." Helen then comes back by saying "and contented." What did both of these phrases mean?
Answer: Mr. Roper was basically comparing Mrs. Roper to a cow, which is a sacred and highly revered animal among Hindus; Mrs. Roper's retort meant that she wasn't happy with her marriage or current station in life, so she'd be happier as a cow in India.
