Halfway to Zen

Origin of the title: Early in the production, Deanna M. Lehman (Pop's bar girl, set photographer) told an anecdote about a certain teenage friend would always say "Auf Wiedersehen" whenever they parted. Unfamiliar with German, Deanna had always thought he was saying "Halfway to Zen", only to realize the actual phrase years later. She suggested "Halfway to Zen" as a potential title, and the Adams' as well as their focus group liked it. The wordplay was subsequently written into the crossword puzzle scene between Pop and Vic.
