I DO agree that this is an excellent episode...but...

I feel so bad for not ever watching this show when it was originally airing. I really hate having to play CATCH-UP with this show, and missing such great episodes as this. even though I think it is great... it still has some problems...

This is a great episode... although to the trained ear it is a bit torturous... The musical interludes hurt my ear because it is obvious that the cast has as much vocal training as your average mute person... But, not to say I totally hated it, I loved the fact that I had a chance to see each of the characters in a different light. All in all I have to say that this episode might be one of my favorites despite it's flaws.
