Only a genius can write an episode that can capture the seriousness of psychiatry and the funny interactions of two polar opposite characters fighting over one man's life. Thanks Mr. Gelbart! <br /><br />P.S. Ken, <br /><br />Back to what you posted, I love it. Seeing the work of a master is amazing. This is the kind of stuff that I love to read; It always puts a a smile on my face. Thanks for posting it! :-) Perkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-55063794034842573512013-08-22T09:03:22.113-07:002013-08-22T09:03:22.113-07:00Here's a version:
