Production
"Survivor Man" is the second episode written by Steve Carell. Carell also wrote the second season finale "Casino Night". The episode is the fifth episode directed by Paul Feig, and his first since the second season episode "E-mail Surveillance". "Survivor Man" is the second episode to feature birthdays as a plot line, but the episode includes a continuity error. The episode was the next to last episode to be aired before the effects of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike halted production. The episode's title and plot share similarities with Survivorman, a television show in which the host is placed in the wilderness with little or no supplies for survival.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
