    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the 2nd half, the show spoofs Ransom (1996), with a tight close-up on Maxwell Sheffield's face as he yells into the phone: "Give me back my nanny!", the same way that Mel Gibson yelled in the often repeatedly aired trailer: "give me back my son!"
    • Goofs
      When Maxwell jumps in the pool, the gray in his hair washes out.
    • Quotes

      Fran Fine: [to Val, while trying to determine the whereabouts of the missing Chester] Where in New York does an ice cream truck play a Barbra Streisand ballad?

      Fran Fine, Val Toriello: Greenwich Village!
