While this isn't bad for a clip show, and I do like the concept for it-- Tony, Angela, and Mona try to explain their household to census-taker Hank Sloan (Ray Buktenica, who you may remember from Rhoda)-- I don't think the flashbacks support the main idea as well as those in "Life with Father."  Still, it's nice to revisit Season One especially, and there's a twist ending that doesn't particularly fit with the timeline of "three months later" but is a nice bit of self-parody, ABC announcer and all.  Note that Tony gives his birthdate as April 23, 1952, which matches canon for the most part, but Angela's October birthday, according to Mona, does not fit her being a Gemini.

Cinnamon, Fisch, Kallis, and Wengrod are all credited with the writing, but I don't know if that includes the archive material.
