Early in the series, Sam and Bill thought that Neal's father was "cool" because he enjoyed the same television programs that they did and shared a similar sense of humor, but their opinions of him–as well as Neal's–changed when they discovered that he was having an affair.
Tidligt i serien, syntes Bill og Sam, at Neals far var "sej", fordi han nød de samme tv-programmer, som de gjorde, og delte en lignende sans for humor, men deres opfattelse af ham, samt Neal's, skiftede, da de opdagede, at han havde en affære med en anden kvinde.
