I'm at best a casual viewer of the series, catching it mostly on reruns but was never a devoted fan. I enjoyed those episodes I've seen but this among my favourites. Although the actor playing "Woody Allen" turns up the nebishy behaviour to 11 it never gets too obnoxious and becomes a fond tribute to those "early funny" films of Woody Allen . It's amusing as Maya begins to blur the line between fantasy and reality while dating this imposter but enjoys his company. After she realises that his delusion is too much for her and breaks up with him she receives a phone call from someone claiming to be Woody Allen. Thinking this is the imposter she begins to question the caller's authenticity. If you listen carefully the voice one the other end sure sounds like the real Woody. I cannot find evidence to substantiate this. Perhaps he wanted this little verbal cameo to remain a secret.
