- TriviaThis episode was co-written by Brian Dietzen who plays Jimmy Palmer.
- GoofsParker refers to the ruby throated hummingbird he took a picture of as "her" and "she". All species of hummingbirds exhibit sexual dimorphism, the males are brightly colored in order to attract a mate, and help distract predators, the male ruby throat has bright red feathers on his throat, which is obviously where their name comes from. The females however have subdued coloring, they have some green on their back, as do the males, but their throat is a tan/white color, this helps them to better blend into brush and shrubbery when in their nest. As a self proclaimed amateur ornithologist Parker should know all of this, that hummingbird in his garden is a male.

Featured review
A touch of noir
The odd and very brief pre-credits opening is a voice-over by Cole, putting me instantly in the mood of a film noir format. Whta follows as a full-length flashback isn't in that genre, but was still dieveritng, ephemeral entertainment.
This begs the question: when, if ever wlll Gary Cole get screen credit as the lead player of the show? I supsect this all has to do with contractural issues, but it's disconcerting to have him replacing Harmon but treated like a temp. Some day the real story behind Harmon's departure will be told.
I especially enjoyed seeing Cole as an irritable creep -nice acting to momentarily change his image for story's sake.
