* FairForItsDay: While an otherwise straightforward, tactful story about addiction with a good message about managing a proper diet for the sake of one's longterm health, much of both the comedy and drama are predicated on long-outdated stereotypes about being fat, namely that being overweight and having unhealthy eating habits are one and the same. The consensus that Dom isn't even obese enough to be considered a "fatso" makes title alone not only an exaggeration but even a little insensitive; keep in mind, however, this was in TheSeventies, and the obesity epidemic hadn't hit America yet, with what doctors call "morbid obesity" being more common.

** Dom buys two full bags of Chinese food for his family at only $40. Thanks to inflation and price hikes, the same amount of Chinese food would cost upwards of $200.
** The diet advice given is definitely dated, particularly the advice to cut out all fats and fruit.

* HollywoodPudgy: Many younger viewers like to point out that Dom isn't nearly fat enough to warrant being called a "fatso." At most, he'd be considered "bulky" or "husky" (he's not even close to how obese Creator/DomDeluise himself became by the time his own obesity killed him).

Then again, this was TheSeventies, and far fewer people were morbidly obese.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Very little of Dom's character is played for laughs, and proves that he can pull off quiet intensity and anguish just as well as he could pull off broad comedy. Just listen to his monologue after he falls {{off the wagon}}.
