J.D. remembers his favorite fantasies in "My Night to Remember".
- “I know I would love to forget all the painful things that have happened to me. But unfortunately I keep re-playing them in my head like some clip show from a bad sitcom too lazy to come up with a fresh story.”— J.D. ("My Night to Remember")
A clip show is a type of episode used in many sitcoms and reality shows that is composed mainly of clips from other episodes. Occasionally, a clip show introduces new material.
