Just finished the second-to-last episode with Dick York in it, where they were only able to film one scene with him before he collapsed on-set and they had to do a quick rewrite to avoid needing him at all anymore, using a little bit of editing trickery to reinsert him (badly) at the very end.
There is only one more episode with York at all, and after that he's replaced by Dick Sargent.

Also an episode not too far back had a very subtle message about the anti-Semitism and racism that was rampant at posh country clubs of the era, but they weren't brave enough to make it have an actual point. Thankfully, Mary Tyler Moore would actually do it proper three years later, in "Some of My Best Friends are Rhoda."
