I just love the opening credits of season 1. I especially like the part when Felix attempts to help and old lady across the street (even though a boyscout is already going to help) the lady takes offense to Felix's kind offer and hits him with her purse. The boyscout then smacks Felix on the arm. The dvd commentary claims that this was not a scripted scene, but a honest reaction from the 2 individuals. I don't if believe that or not. Sometimes memories can fade and change over time. I'm sure the old lady has long since passed, but I wonder if that boyscout is still around and how feels about his few seconds of sitcom fame.

You are confused.. That was scripted..

The non scripted scene is when he collapsed on a bench with all his luggage and a gentleman came over and asked if he was ok not knowing they were filming for TV.. It worked and they kept it..
