A strong episode simply because it features John Cleese, who proves a formidable parallel/opponent to the Lithgow. In terms of writing achievement, this doesn't equal the previous episode, simply because Lithgow-vs-Cleese practically writes itself. This doesn't make it any less enjoyable to watch, while Jane Curtin proves her expert ability to play along with either (or more frequently, both). If there's anything else to say about this episode, it's that it shows John Lithgow equal to any guest star, no matter how good -- a fact which would soon be proved again, on even higher terms. Meanwhile, Wayne Knight proves his usefulness in new ways not previously explored, and Elmarie Wendel gets a marvelous scene of her own.
