I think that I have to agree to a certain extent with people who have been disappointed with the show. There are still some things that make me laugh out loud (e.g. the low roof of George's car and almost any of Elaine's faces). This episode though just didn't do it for me. I found the suicide deal and the mental patient unfunny. I could see how some people might be offended by it. I was worried that I might need to take a big dose of lighten up, but it seems that I'm not the only one who was not totally amused by the episode.
