Correction: Rob and Jerry bought a boat together. However there is an earlier episode that refers to Alan's yacht.

Suggest slightly different wording as it was only one episode, and the fact that it was an earlier episode is important: Rob and Jerry bought a boat together. However there is an earlier episode that refers to Alan's yacht.

Hastor

Correction: Rob didn't say anything when finding Buddy and Sally found out about the yacht.

The Great Petrie Fortune - S5-E6

Corrected entry: If Rob was just 12 or 13 when he last saw his grandfather (that's what they said in this episode, also he never called his grandfather ever from what it looks like) then his grandfather wouldn't know that he has been working on a TV program. (He started working on the Alan Brady show when he was 20, not before).

Correction: First of all, it is Rob's great-uncle, not his grandfather. And what makes you think he wouldn't know? Off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen ways he could have known. He was watching the show and saw Rob's name in the credits. His brother called him to brag about his grandson. He read a magazine article about television comedy writers. Etc. Etc.

Season 4 generally

Trivia: During the fourth season, actress Rose Marie suffered the tragic loss of her husband to whom she had been married for 20 years. Amidst her mourning, Marie felt that the grief and pain of loss was too much to bear and wanted to leave the show entirely, just before the fifth and final season. John Rich, one of the show's directors, was there to console her and convince her to come back and finish out the remainder of the show.
