Behind the scenes

This was the second pilot Hanna-Barbera did as a test through Love, American Style in 1972, after the failed "Love and the Private Eye".
The big difference between this episode and the series proper, is the latter's inclusion of the Boyles' third and youngest, Jamie.
Irma is 47, and she got married to Harry at 17.
Harry compares his situation of meeting Alice's boyfriend for the first time to the events of the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Unlike this episode having the ABC network, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home was broadcast in first-run syndication.
Fred's name is only revealed in the opening sequence. Interestingly, that same opening sequence also refers to Irma and Harry as only Mama and Papa, respectively.
