Read the whole thing, and loved it! I genuinely laughed out loud in a few places, and I feel like I just watched a real episode.

They've (sort of) gone that direction before, like in "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein." Admittedly, that was a different era, when the show had better writers and some restraint.
