The show covers a range of topics related to the American Dream, including consumerism, the pursuit of happiness, and the pursuit of wealth. Carlin critiques the idea of the American Dream, arguing that it is a concept that has been used to control people and distract them from larger societal issues.

Throughout the show, Carlin challenges the audience to think critically about the American Dream and its impact on society. He highlights the ways in which the pursuit of material possessions has created a society that is focused on consumption and individualism, rather than community and social responsibility. Carlin argues that the American Dream has become a myth that has been sold to the public by those in power to maintain the status quo.

Overall, George Carlin's American Dream is a thought-provoking comedy special that encourages viewers to question the values and beliefs that underpin American society. Through his trademark humor and incisive commentary, Carlin challenges the audience to think beyond the superficial trappings of the American Dream and consider what it truly means to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

However, our heroine manages to enlist the help of one of her mentors: Dr. Micah Barnes (Michael Rady), who oversees fresh interns and to befriend with first-year surgical resident Tyra Dupre (Kelly McCreary). Besides the awkward moments showcased in almost every scene where we see Emily, there is one only thing that makes everyone uncomfortable to watch Emily Owens M.D. "“ the idea of "what this clumsy young being is doing here, in real-life hospital, as the real-life doctor, who is definitely should be responsible for the lives of patients?"
