Inside joke in "The Bully" ep. (1961, ep. 18) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Anyone catch the inside joke in Ep. 18, The Bully, from Jan. 1961?

Chip asks Robbie, "Didn't a boy named Stanley bully you last year?"

Stanley Livingston, of course, is the real name of the actor playing Chip.

I didn't catch that one. Another one I remember in The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody, one kid said "so and so told so and so who told Dylan who told Cole" (the kid stars were Dylan and Cole Sprouse). In other shows you'll occasionally hear production staff names dropped in sometimes.

The scene is when Chip comes running down the stairs as Robbie is grabbing things off the area at the bottom of the stairs before he, Mike & Chip leave before saying goodbye to dad, who's leaving on a trip.

That's a good catch. Here's a much later example:

In the Season 10 ep where Rob returns to Bryant Park, the hotel man (Olan Soule) keeps calling him "Don" in error -- inside joke of sorts, as that's Don Grady's real first name.

Yeah, and Katie playfully called him Don.

Did we ever see that hotel and the gazebo when they lived at Bryant Park? Or mean old Burt Mustin?
