Goofs
Jail and prison are NOT the same thing. The characters have all been to jail at some point in their lives and would definitely know the difference.

Quotes
Bonnie: Did they have vending machines where you were locked up?
Marjorie: No. There was this woman named Mike, she could get you anything you wanted, but you had to let her do things that made her feel like her name was Mike.

Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #494

Many, many, many, many years ago, I had a job as a greens keeper at a little par 3, nine hole golf course. Every morning I'd get up at dawn and drive the tractor-mower up and down the fairways. Then I'd roll the special lawnmower over the greens, trying my best to make them both beautiful and challenging. In my mind, I imagined I was grooming Augusta National. Thinking back I can't help but remember that time as being perfect. My heart was at peace, my work was fulfilling, and each day was a gentle echo of the one before. But I quit that job and moved to Los Angeles because I wanted more. Can you imagine that? I wanted more than a par 27 Walden Pond. Don't get me wrong, I am deeply grateful for the way things turned out. It's just, try as I might, I can't make a sitcom smell like fresh cut grass in the morning.

Don't Miss This One

Possibly one of the best television shows I've ever seen. Yes, it was funny. Yes, it expanded the characters into new territory. And yes, it helped the characters deal with their problems in a unique way. But the reason this episode is so good is because it deals with Christianity in a way that I'm able to not just tolerate, but to actually get behind and applaud.

In this world where religious hypocrisy is a boastful norm -- today's New York Times has an interview with a pastor wondering how Christianity will ever recover from the blatant "heresy," as he put it, of evangelicals -- this episode showed us characters engaging in a type of faith that was sincere, honest, and benevolent. They believed it, and they lived it.

It was heaven.
