Notes
- Jason Badower reported that NBC was very specific about the name of the brewing company used in Road Kill. Neither Jason nor Annette Kwok caught the reference. Had they know the brewery's name was a reference to NBC, they would have designed a different logo to put on the side of the truck.
- Brian Williams's name is misspelled "Brain". (War Buddies, Part 1)
- In Fight or Flight, Monica watches the "Martial Arts Movie of the Week" on "Brava". In real life, "Bravo" is an NBC Universal-owned cable television channel which sometimes shares programming with NBC.
