Robin Williams earned an Emmy nomination for his performance in this episode.
(edit)
Even though this episode was produced last, NBC pulled the airing of this episode to the beginning of the season. Hoping to capitalize on William's star power to get good ratings. Thanks Aaron Schatz for reminding me of this.

Ellison: The instant they pulled the trigger I lost my wife, but I joined a club. It's a very exclusive club. But the funny thing about the club is that none of the members want to belong. It's like some sort of secret society where only the initiated can recognize the other members.
(edit)
Felton: Marvin, you have the right to remain silent, although personally I don't feel remaining silent is all that its cracked up to be.
