Well, they had aging nailed in its various manifestations. We already knew Tilly (or is it Tillie, and is it from Matilda?), but we got to see Delia (with a white wig and needing a piece of candy from time to time to keep her blood sugar in line, formerly a nurse for forty years, and voiced by Betty White), Maureen (only ten years older than Tilly and with reddish hair, who wandered off to get her pictures taken, and voiced maybe by Uta Hagen (or did she do Lilian?)), Lilian (with grey hair, memory problems, and a touchy stomach), and the other one (with yellow hair, who knows Hank's kind, and voiced by Phyllis Diller).
They also had some intriguing moments from Bill (besides the "your mother and I" line and Peggy's first reaction to his charms before she noticed his belly and stained shirt), including his forceful statement, "I am responsible for that boy" (Bobby), and Peggy's wide-eyed reaction to it.
I hear there's a big museum of miniatures in Rochester, New York, too.
