On that particular episode, the direction and choreography skills border on insanity. I am sure that several apparently mundane scenes over the series required as much work, if not more, than the spectacular demonstrations displayed here ; but nothing can justify the amount of craft and effort, and, yes, money, involved in the making of this show.
Or maybe it's for the sake of art.
And talking about insane talent, there again, the production puts Mr Shalhoub's abilities to stress, and gratifying results.
Makes you realize how talented the whole cast is, not looking even slightly pale nor weak against his performance.
Of course, the brilliant dialogue helps. They sure all have a blast with the material. And so do I.
