Added DiffLines:

When Fran gets a gig dispensing comedic parenting advice on ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rosie_O%27Donnell_Show The Rosie O'Donnell Show]]'', she has less time for the Sheffield family.

----

* FifteenMinutesOfFame: Fran's fame burns out by the end of the episode, [[StatusQuoIsGod of course]].
* ActorAllusion:
** Yetta's supposed prophetic dream was actually the opening of ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow''. While trying to convince the others that it's a real prophecy, she identifies Brighton as Richie and herself as Millie. Ann Morgan Guilbert played Millie on ''The Dick Van Dyke Show''.
** Fran is replaced by a retired couple from Florida who do cheapo restaurant reviews. She comments, "My parents could do better." You guessed it, they're played by Fran Drescher's actual parents.
* AsHimself: Rosie O'Donnell, obviously. There are also [[TheCameo cameos]] by Creator/HughGrant and a pre-presidential UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump.
* CelebrityParadox: Rosie O'Donnell appears here as herself. She previous played Cosette in "[[Recap/TheNannyS3E21WheresThePearls Where's the Pearls?]]".
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Used for the ''Dick Van Dyke'' parody that concludes the episode.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: The Fines believe that when Bubbe Sophie comes to them in a dream, it's a prediction of the future. Except for Fran, it turns out.
* DreamSequence: Sort of, since Maxwell made up the dream and it didn't actually happen in-universe. Still, we get to see the "dream" acted out in a sequence parodying ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof''.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Once again, {{Lampshaded}}:
-->'''Fran:''' Mr. Sheffield, you're not upset that I'm gonna be working two jobs?\\
'''Maxwell:''' Two jobs? What's the other one? Oh! Here! Yes.
* SleepingSingle: In the ''Dick Van Dyke'' parody:
-->'''Fran as Laura:''' Oh, darling, I hope you're not upset, but I did something I wasn't supposed to.\\
'''Max as Rob:''' Oh, honey, it couldn't have been that bad. I mean, what'd you do?\\
'''Fran as Laura:''' I pushed our beds together.\\
'''Max as Rob:''' ''[clearly happy about this]'' Come on, let's go home.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: With her newfound fame, Fran ends up neglecting the Sheffield kids.
