"You mean I'm not crazy after all?"
25 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is the kind of story that on a different day and in a different frame of mind I might have found cleverly entertaining. As it is, the entire thing just wore me out with it's failed attempt at absurdity. It started out reasonably well but I thought it tried to jump through too many hoops for the sake of making Jane (Penny Peyser) look like she was crazy when she really wasn't. The turkey waiter in particular was quite annoying, and I don't see the actor's name who played him in the credits, so maybe this episode doomed the poor guy. The best thing this one had to offer was that movie poster of "The Snake Pit' in Dr. Shreck's (Paul Bartel) office, a film I would recommend for it's harrowing look at the treatment of mental illness as it existed in the 1940's.
