Plot hole: Throughout the show it is reported several times that Billy and Ally met when they were both eight years old in a park by sniffing each other's bottoms. However, when Billy is buried in season 3 his tombstone reads, 1968-2000, making him 32 years old. Ally is only 29 and does not turn 30 until later in that season which would at the very least, put them 2 years apart. (00:41:15)

Richard Fish: Everybody's alone. It's just easier to take in a relationship.
Trivia: Elaine, played by Jane Krakowski, played cousin Vicky in the first "Vacation" movie - her first onscreen appearance.
Question: There's a quote from Richard Fish I've never been able to find exactly online, but I'm sure I'm remembering the gist, I think talking to someone about getting divorced or cheated on: "10 years from now, are you still going to be as mad as you are now? Of course not. So jump to that point, now, and you're over it. Fishism." Can anyone identify the episode/quote?

Answer: Answering my own question - it's from S1 E4. "One of the keys to life: the fast-forward. Every movie has its lousy parts; the trick is fast-forward through them. See, as time passes, you look back and say, 'Huh. That little adultery thing. Oh, that.' You fast-forward to then right now... and you're over it."
