[edit] Quotes

Tracy: But I want you to know something... You and me, it's not gonna be a one-way street. 'Cause I don't believe in one-way streets. Not between people, and not while I'm driving.
Kenneth: Oh, okay.
Tracy: So, here's some advice I wish I woulda got when I was your age: Live every week like it's Shark Week.

Tracy: Dress every day like you're going to get murdered in those clothes.

[edit] Pop Culture

When Kenneth gets stuck at the top of the chain-link fence while trying to get into Yankee Stadium, he calls out to a large rat, "Go get help, girl!". This is an allusion to the rescue missions inevitably seen in every episode of the various incarnations of "Lassie".

[edit] Notes

Frank's three trucker hats read "Ninja Expert," "Arcade Champ," and "Bigfoot Expert."

Jack asks Frank if he's, "familiar with Six Sigma," to which Frank replies, "It's a special kind of G.I. Joe," confusing G.I. Joe's Sigma 6 for Motorola's business practices.

[edit] Reception

"I’m still not entirely sure what this is about when it comes to its humour and characters. But this was a decent attempt to get to know them all better." - The TV Critic's Review
