The morning after Trevor stays over, Willie & Kate walk into the kitchen, where Trevor is blasting loud rock music, Trevor segues into a comment about Frank Sinatra, but Willie says it sounds like Pink Floyd. The joke I guess is that Pink Floyd is clearly not Frank Sinatra.  The problem is the song playing is very clearly not Pink Floyd.

It absolutely does not sound at all like Pink Floyd.  I starting thinking, well, maybe in the original airing it was really Pink Floyd -  because whatever was playing was some generic rock chords, no recognizable song - perhaps they didn't want to pay the rights for the song for the DVD?  But if that's true, the joke about Trevor blasting loud music is less funny if he's playing psychedelic rock.  Also Trevor says it was Raquel & his song?  I struggle to think about which Pink Floyd song that might have been?  Comfortably Numb? Brain Damage? Wish You Were Here?

It was a throwaway line, but made so little sense, that I was distracted the rest of the episode by how little sense that whole failed joke at the beginning made -- especially because they spend the rest of the episode quoting Chicago lyrics.  It would have made MUCH more sense if Trevor were playing a song by Chicago.

They keep mentioning a guest room, that Kate's mom has used repeatedly and Jody has stayed, so it make no sense that they ask Maura to sleep in the living room.

This episode hasn't aged well. Not enjoyable seeing Neighborhood Watch that ends up just making people overly suspicious and overreporting. The mob mentality of the crowd wanting to see violence. Jokes about SWAT teams raiding the wrong house aren't as funny (now that we know they have done that with fatal consequences), etc.
