In an interview with afterelton.com, producers David Kohan and Max Mutchnick said that this episode's plot (in which Ed's old Navy buddy turns out to be a homophobe) was inspired by a real on-set incident during the filming of an earlier episode in which a crew member started to say some things that Mutchnick and Kohan characterized as "very anti-gay sentiments" and "really sort of offensive and stunning."

I loved that episode. I liked the story about Ed and his homophobic friend mainly because it shows a situation many open minded people have to face. When you have to choose between being silent or speak up about what is right. And it was done in a very fun way. When I saw the episode about Tim getting the job, I hated it. But what came out of it is surprisingly good. Ed has been developing in a less of a jerk (but still with the same edge), so that if I would see the story of that episode now I would actually believe it.

And the second storyline with Henry, Vince and Bonnie was absolutely hilarious. I think I liked it much more than the main one. All three of them did a great job. I loved Vince in it, including the time when he was trying to pull out the couch. And Bonnie was great in her reaction when she realized that Henry is in the room. Henry was awesome as well the second time he sees her naked and gets yelled at for telling how hot she is.

So all in all an amazing episode. Bring me more of those!

This has been a really funny show; up to this episode. That's not to say this episode didn't have it's moments. I just wish Hollywood would stop trying to cram lifestyle decisions down our throats thinly veiled in what is supposed to be entertainment. Why can't they just try to stick to entertaining us instead of propagandizing. I don't care how anyone chooses to live their life. Why, is what is supposed to be entertainment turned into a lecture, with discussions about individuals sex life. I enjoy most genre's, but even a really good and funny show like this one can be ruined by boring story lines blatantly trying to brainwash me. If the message is important at least put it in a well written story. This was not one of those. The actors were great, it was the story that was bad.
