My Life in Four CamerasEpisode Number: 85 Season Num: 4 First Aired: Tuesday February 15, 2005 Prod Code: 417R1 |
When J.D. meets a former writer from his all time favorite TV show "Cheers", he begins to picture his life at the hospital as a bland, multiple camera sitcom, where everything is perfect and wraps up nicely.
Back in reality, Dr. Cox is relunctant to fire an amiable cafeteria worker, while Turk and Carla struggle to keep their promise of constant romantic affection afloat.

| Director: | Adam Bernstein |
| Star: | Neil Flynn (The Janitor), John C. McGinley (Dr. Percival "Perry" Cox), Ken Jenkins (Dr. Robert "Bob" Kelso), Donald Faison (Dr. Christopher "Chris" Duncan Turk), Zach Braff (Dr. John Michael "J.D." Dorian), Judy Reyes (Nurse Carla Espinosa), Sarah Chalke (Dr. Elliot Reid) |

Clay Aiken is credited as a "Special Appearance". Usually, that credit is used for people who play themselves.
(edit)
Two of the people that are being interviewed thinking they have Bird Flu, are actually Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke's stunt doubles who got married after meeting on the show.
(edit)
The person who comes up to Turk and asks him to play basketball is actually his stand-in.
(edit)
When J.D. is crowd surfing at the beginning, he is actually being carried over his stunt double's head. The crowd was later edited in.
(edit)
The character name "Charles James", a fictional former Cheers writer, actually comes from the Cheers creators James Burrows, Glen Charles and Les Charles.
(edit)
J.D.'s narration: Unfortunately, around here things don't always end as neat and tidy as they do in sitcoms. Relationships aren't always magically fixed in thirty minutes - you have to work on them.
(edit)
Dr. Kelso: Okay, Perry! That's it, it's over. The only act left to see is you firing that guy.
(edit)
J.D.: And if any of you cows, goats, or ducks have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me! I'm just like all of you, only giant and human!... Thank you. I hope you enjoyed our production of World's Most Giant Doctor Goes to the Farm.
(edit)
Janitor: Oh, brother. Look, I, uh... either start laughing or I start unplugging your machines.
(edit)
Elliot: Oh, Romeo, Romeo, Warum bist du Romeo? Verleugne deinen Vater und entsage deinem Namen. Oder wenn du das nicht willst, so SCHWÖRE hier.
Carla: Gesundheit. (edit)
Carla: Gesundheit. (edit)
Sitcom World: In the "sitcom world" of J.D.'s fantasy, most of the female characters, including Elliot, Carla, Jordan and the nurse standing behind the nurses' station, are wearing low-cut blouses and short skirts. Elliot is also wearing high heels and her famous push-up bra. In addition, when the janitor walks in, a man can be seen at the nurses' station who is wearing shorts and no shirt.
(edit)
In the fantasy talent show, Eliot is reciting a German translation of the "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" speech from "Romeo and Juliet".
(edit)
Dr. Cox had made a comment about turning the word really into a six syllable word, but he changed it into seven syllables.
(edit)
When the Janitor comes in on his trolley, and he is then talking to Elliot and J.D., his trolley moves from one side to the other and back again.
(edit)
When Elliot and J.D. are talking about Mr. James and his cough being something giving reason to take an x-ray, they are both wearing the same color (dark blue) scrubs. In the next scene with them, where they are looking at the x-rays and talking about the lung cancer, Elliot's are suddenly lighter blue.
(edit)
Evel Kneivel: J.D. compares going up in a hot-air balloon to the exploits of Robert "Evel" Kneivel, a motorcycle daredevil of the 1970's who was famous for jumping his motorcycle over lines of buses, etc., and who also famously attempted to jump the Snake River canyon in a rocket-powered motorcycle.
(edit)
Jared:
Fat Frank and his old fat pants parody Subway's lead ad-man Jared. In many of the commercials, he had his "fat pants" from when he was larger. (edit) The North Face panic mentioned by Dr. Cox mocks the masses obsessively wearing North Face fleece jackets. (edit) Happy Days and its Spin-offs:
At the beginning of the episode, J.D. quizzes Kylie on Happy Days spin-offs, which she names correctly: Joanie Loves Chachi, Mork and Mindy and Laverne and Shirley. (edit)
