Corbin Bernsen replaces David Garrison as Jack Sherwood. David Garrison played Jack in the "One On One" episode, "Splitting Hairs," that started "Cuts." (edit)
Tape Date: January 25, 2005 (edit)
Two scenes that were featured in previews were rewritten. The first was Kevin's comment about the pipes. In the previews he stated the pipes sounded like Star Jones wedding night. The final version he said Whale Sex. The other featured Kevin having a different reaction after Tiffany suggest the city inspector meet him. The final version has Kevin sugest he meets the others not Kevin getting upset like in the previews. (edit)
The show starts of from the One on One episode Splitting Hairs. (edit)
