Episode Notes |
| |
The actor who played the juice salesman, Jonn O'Brien, wasn't credited the first time this episode aired.
| The is the first episode we actually see Will's bedroom.
| This episode is in reference to when Will told his brother what he thought of his soon-to-be wife. With only a handful of script ideas and a push from the network to create a two-parter, David & Max took from the pilot and create these two episodes.
