Release

Behind the scenes

• The episode is named after actor Charles Grodin.
• Devlin last hired Harvey in "The Devlin Made Me Do It."
• Apache Chief is holding his coffee away from his body as he walks to avoid the accident that happened in "Very Personal Injury."
• Brewster and DeLisle replace Patience Cleveland and Joseph Seal as Tangy and Bobby, respectively, as Cleveland had died and Seal retired from acting, although he probably would've been too old to still voice Bobby even if he hadn't retired.
• Judy leaving on her Birdgirl costume while heading Sebben & Sebben is the problem she faced in the pilot episode of the Birdgirl spin-off.
