    A nice episode to watch; Joey moves out but his new house accidentally burns down, funny neighbour Howard is back again and Jimmy finally finds out that Michael is his son. This was not a GREAT episode, but it made me laugh. Especially the scene where Joey watches the news and hears about a yellow truck and later finds out it is his own truck he's watching. Hilarious! Only thing I missed was Bobby. She was supposed to be in every single episode (or so I heard) but we don't see her in this one. Another nice scene in the episode is when Joey tells Alex he'll wait for her. Maybe they'll finally end up back together ...moreless

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Jimmy asks Joey if he heard Al Franken's radio show, and then mentioned Stuart Smalley. Al Franken is a comedian, writer, and politician best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and for his 5 best selling books. Stuart Smalley was his most popular SNL character. Edit
    • When one of Michael's friends goes by speaking Hindi, Gina thinks he is speaking Klingon. Klingons are an alien race from the Star Trek universe with a deep, gruff language. There actually is a Klingon dictionary that was written and is popular among Trek fans. Edit
    • Joey found out that Michael was recreating Tom Cruise's underwear dance from Risky Business. Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, having a long string of hit movies like Top Gun, the Mission Impossible series, and Jerry Maguire. Risky Business was one of Tom Cruise's first movies, about a young man who finds himself needing money quickly after wrecking his father's Porsche while his parents are away. He turns to a high class call girl for help with disasterous and zany results. The scene where he dances alone in his underwear is one of the most popular from the movie and to Tom Cruise fans everywhere. Edit
