First episode directed by Oz Scott, who replaced Bob Lally, who had replaced Jack Shea. Shea directed five seasons, Lally took over for four seasons, and Scott would direct the final two seasons.
Paul Benedict is now showing in the opening credits for Season 10 after missing the entire ninth season. The Mr. Bentley character appears in the seventh episode of this season named "The Return of Bentley."
Although they played as cousins, guest stars Garrett and Greg Morris were not related.
The opening credits sequence for Season 10 was extensively overhauled. New scenes, mostly from the most recent Season 9, were added and several of the scenes that had aired for several seasons were removed. In addition to Paul Benedict returning to the opening credits, Marla Gibbs was moved to the end, and given a special "and Marla Gibbs" credit.
