When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Siegel said that Goldstein originally wanted “a Harrison Ford type” and auditioned people like Ford. Siegel told Goldstein that they should have at least pitched it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately reject it, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had the project, which would spark interest from other big-name actors. Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and convinced him to take the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was still excited..

He has a strange, idiotically confident energy for the role. And Jessica is perfect. Her humor is just right for the dialogue. This is a new way of doing sitcoms. No real jokes, just appealing personalities with a touch of eccentricity and family circumstances that are a little off the mark but still relevant. Of course, Jimmy’s behavior as a therapist is completely absurd. You would lose your license immediately. It’s just impossible. But we allow metaphorical situations in drama. And in this script, we sense a strong sense of purpose in the decisions. We have to give the writers the edge and try to capture the essence. To me, it’s easy and fun. It seems like other reviewers had trouble.
