- TriviaThe receptacle in the kitchen under the light switch is not there in this episode.
- GoofsAlice's mother's dog is named Ginger and is referred to as a female by Alice. But when Ralph later reads the doctor's report, the dog is clearly referenced as a male. In fact, Ralph probably wouldn't have thought the report was about him if it had referred to a "she" throughout.

Featured review
Ralph on the Brink
This is one of the funniest of the episodes, and yet it packs a wallop if you look at it closely. It's the classic plot where a letter is misinterpreted and causes great consternation. Alice has taken her mother's dog to the vet with an undisclosed illness. It turns out the dog has no more that six months to live. Meanwhile, Ralph intercepts the letter with the diagnosis and since he was recently at a doctor, believes it is he who has the death sentence. The touching thing is that he goes to a magazine to sell his story after realizing that he has nothing to leave Alice. Of course, when the first installment is published some very interesting things take place. This is genius writing, beautifully done.
