Trivia:

This marks the first time Willie, the one-eyed mailman speaks as well as explaining how he lost his eye.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Timothy Stack claims in this episode that IMDb lists 63 acting credits for him. However, the episode was set in 2003, at which point he would have had 57 acting credits.

Quotes:

Timothy Stack: Good evening, my good man. Do you know who I am?
Officer Stuart Daniels: Of course I do, Mr. Stack.
Timothy Stack: I'm TV's Tim Stack, from movies and basic cable television. 62 items on my IMDb page. 62. But they screwed me. They counted my Quincy two-parter as one thing.

Tim Stack drunkenly disputes IMDb

In this hilarious parody of "Cops," comic actor Tim Stack appears as himself, pulled over for a DUI, as his car serpentines past a grammar school.

He drunkenly boasts to the star-struck officer that he has "63" entries on IMDb--but angrily claims to have been cheated on the total. It seems the site only counts his 1981 appearance on a two-parter "Quincy" episode as a single entry.

Later, when his vehicle is found by another cop crashed against a telephone pole, Stack woozily rolls down his window and tries to order fast food.

Funny (and hopefully untrue)stuff.
