When Barbara sees her, she calls her "Ann" instead of Mom and pretends they just know each other from school rather than let everyone else in class know that she's her mother. (It helps that, due to the divorce, they have different last names.) Ann reluctantly goes along with it.

* LongRunnerCastTurnover: This series is infamous for the many main cast members and characters coming into and out of the Romano household; almost all of them several episodes into a season.
* MultiPartEpisode: The show practically lived on this trope, to the point where single-part episodes began to feel rare.
* NoIndoorVoice: Ann in particular, but everyone else too. This has to be one of the loudest sitcoms ever.
* OddNameOut: In "Ave Romano", when announcing to Max, Barbara and Mark that a man claiming to be a relative of her late husband Michael is coming to visit, Grandma Romano notes that Michael had three brothers, Arturo, Fabrizio... and Bob. Max indirectly lampshades this when iterating all three names.
