Janitor Dad - S4-E6

Trivia: Will Friedle's brother, Gary, attended the taping of this episode. Will looked over at his brother during the run-through of the scene, where Alan mentioned having a dream of a customer falling off a cliff to his death. He described his brother's face as "ashen." This was because one of Gary's best friends died in a climbing accident only weeks before.

Janitor Dad - S4-E6

Question: When Chet and Verna are arguing about Chet getting a job, visible in the background is a painting of what I believe is an oak tree on a yellow background. Does anybody know the name and/or artist of this painting? My Grandparents used have a painting similar to it (if not the same one) and it also looks very similar to (and possibly the inspiration for) the cover art for the debut album of the band Days of the New.

Answer: I learned the answer to this one today. It is "Tree of Life" by Garé Barks.
