The program begins with a filmed piece of Jim Parsons calling Sean Hayes to put together a celebration of Jim Burrows which is scheduled for that night. Among the people Sean calls: Ted Danson-at a Star Wars showing-who mistakes him for George Clooney, Rhea Pearlman who's in a bathtub with Eric McCormack, Woody Harrelson (his only appearance on the show) who's practicing the car commercials that Matthew McConaughey does, and George Wendt, who's at an empty bar with an empty glass. Interviews with many of the stars of the shows Jim Burrows directed are represented: "Will & Grace", "Cheers", "The Big Bang Theory" (which he only directed two pilots of), "Taxi", "Mike & Molly", "Frasier", and "Friends" (the only show to get more than one segment). There's a few more humorous pieces like Parsons' supposed letter from Burrows on what a most enjoyable experience "TBBT" was followed by Hayes and others getting the same letter, a PSA parody in which Gary Sinese pleads help for getting George Wendt to stop people from calling him "Norm!" (even though Wendt then calls Gary "Lt. Dan"!), and how some "Frasier" cast members are tired of that show's theme song (which Kelsey Grammar keeps singing and David Hyde Pierce keeps wincing about when thinking about it!). Overall, this was quite a funny and touching tribute to someone who just directed his 1000th of episodic TV. Congrats!
