Trivia

Charlie tells Alan that Andy (Emilio Estevez) is like the brother he's never had. In fact, Charlie Sheen and Estevez are brothers in real life.

Goofs

It's not explained why Charlie and Alan don't make any attempt at CPR. You'd think at least Charlie would want to help someone, supposedly so important to him.

Crazy Credits

Instead of the usual "Men..." voice heard at the end of each episode, this one ends with James Earl Jones' voice authoritatively stating, "Men."
