Factual error: Some of the visitors came to the Keaton "hotel" (their house) for the "ocean view." This takes place in central Ohio (near Columbus). There are no oceans around there.
Steven Keaton: Alex destroyed all of them when he was two, he found them politically offensive.
Alex P. Keaton: You have no proof that was me.
Elyse Keaton: We found your rattle on the shelf in the bookcase.
Alex P. Keaton: It could have been some other babies rattle.
Elyse Keaton: It was your Nixon rattle.
Trivia: Michael Gross, who played the father in the show, painted the portrait of the family shown in the opening credits.
Question: Does anyone know which episode it was when Steven decided to grow a beard, or why he decided to grow one? I never watched the show in order and still can't figure out why he suddenly has one in the second half of the show's run.

Chosen answer: Steven Keaton (Michael Gross) did not grow the beard for an episode. He grew it between season 1 and season 2 as a character he was playing in an Off-Broadway play. When the show began taping for season 2, it was decided to have him keep it. It never was a plot point on the show.
