Despite being over 30 miles apart, Beverly Hills (where Evelyn lives) and Malibu are both within the 310 area code boundary.
- Quotes
Olivia Pearson: You said I was very special to you.
Charlie: You were!
Olivia Pearson: Yeah! Me and three other women!
Charlie: I said you were special... not unique.
- Crazy creditsAs with the end of every episode, Chuck Lorre has his own Vanity Card. This episode vanity card reads in part. "This is the official 'I have nothing worth writing about' vanity card. It will run whenever I have nothing worth writing about. Don't be surprised to see it quite a bit. From now on, when our schedule requires me to deliver a new card and I'm empty, I'll simply say 'Run one eleven'. A check of the one hundred and ten cards I've already written will quickly demonstrate that I should have written this card a long time ago. Why didn't I? Vanity. I have become so vain about my vanity cards. I was determined to write a new one each week because, well...I'm just that kind of guy. But I'm older and wiser now. I know when I have nothing to say. And that knowledge is freedom. Freedom from the constant need to win your approval. And more importantly, freedom from the obsessive and relentless need to end each vanity card on a joke. Governor Schwarzenegger.

Featured review
Oh Mother where for art thou?
Not the best episode of this shows first season, but then again I never found myself warming to the mother character played by Holland Taylor in the first place, and wasn't annoyed when her screen time got cut down in subsequent years.
This though remains a decent episode, and a fine example of how good the show was back at the start.
There's even unusually for 'Two and a Half Men' a bit of a sentimental finale, you could perhaps argue too sentimental. It is however lovely to see at this early stage the writers trying to flesh the Charlie character out. Sadly they would later give up and just make him a self/ex obsessed pain.
