Trivia

Initially, after Michael announces that "there has been a murder", the show was supposed to have cut to a commercial break. However, the producers realized that this was too misleading, as it would have implied that a real homicide had taken place.

Goofs

When Kevin says that the "Swedish chef lives on Sesame Street, d*******!" he is wrong. The chef was actually a regular character on The Muppet Show. He was introduced in 1975.

Totally rotten

Wtf is this utter pile of rubbish. Worst episode of a sitcom I've seen in a long time. Michael finally finally is the worst character in any sitcom. Unlikeable. Stupid. Stubborn. Unfunny. Unfunny.
