Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst appearance of J D Walsh, as the pizza delivery person. In this episode, he is named "Ted". In future episodes, his name is "Gordon".
- GoofsStan (Charlie's accountant) tells Alan that he thought Alan was the smart one. But as Stan is leaving, he tells Alan "nice to meet you, sport", meaning he had just met Alan. So, how could Stan think Alan was the smart one, when he had just met him.
Most likely, Charlie talked about his brother, the chiropractor. A chiropractor had a lot of schooling - more than a musician and Stan would have thought that Alan, the chiropractor, was the smart one compared to Charlie.

Featured review
A fun escape from the beach house
Very rarely in this first series did the characters leave the beach house, but this episode sees them visit Charlie's financial adviser, with funny results.
There's a bit more plot to this episode than the last, and that shakes things up a bit. The financial adviser is a fun character, and it's nice to see a bit more Berta and Rose in this episode too.
I can't say I ever really warmed to Holland Taylor's mother character across all the years of the show, and there's nothing here to alter my view.
However, this is another solid episode in a better than average first series.
