Notes

add »
A highlight of this episode is Robert’s mustard-colored suit. In the scene with Ray and Robert alone in the restaurant Robert demands, “Do you know where I had to go to get this outfit?” Ray responds, “Little shop of horrors?” There is an outtake of this scene where Ray’s response is “Guldens?” Brad Garrett breaks up, ruining the scene. (edit)
Voted the fifth favorite episode of the entire series by the fans, and was rerun on February 28, 2005, as part of the events leading up to the series finale. (edit)
Music: "Fantastic Voyage" by Coolio (edit)
