Daniels would go on to appear in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett (though apparently it's pronounced "Buh-TAHNS"). The episode also introduced Cormac Bluestone aka Jimmy Doyle, who would go on to compose music and score a number of episodes for the series (like "The Nightman Cometh"). The scene where Tommy spits at Charlie wasn't known to the director so the director's reaction led to a discussion about when directors should stop filming when an injury happens (more on that in a minute). While the trio didn't have high opinions of the first season overall in the last episode, McElhenney admits that this episode still holds up pretty well and started things rolling (though admitting that they were still fleshing out Kaitlin Olson's Dee). "Charlie Wants An Abortion": It looks like S01E02 was the second episode written and the third that was filmed that season (though they still sounded a bit shakey on that). I found myself laughing out loud three times (damn their Mad Men-like ad pitches for the cigarettes), and this is now the second episode where I've had to reconfirm to my roommate that they're not in character and that this is how they are when they get together.
But if you're interested in learning more about the show overall or looking for McElhenney, Howerton & Day to go off on rants that show why their humor works so well no matter how twisted it might get at times? You will enjoy the hell out of this one. For example, while it was nice to hear a bit about what Spencer Daniels aka Tommy has been up to, I was surprised there was no mention of Heather Donahue aka Stacy Corvelli (especially with her The Blair Witch Project connection). If you're looking for an exhaustive & extensive examination of how "Charlie Wants An Abortion" came to be? Well, it's a bit lacking in that area as compared to the premiere episode. Okay, so this was a tough one to judge because it depends on what you're looking to get out of it.
