There's not much point in rating individual episodes of this series, but this one is a standout for several reasons. First, the plot: in deciding to be as average as possible, the show finds mew ways to plunder its premise. Second, Joseph Gordon-Levitt asppears with short hair for the first time -- which is made part of the plot. Third, a guest appearance by the amazing John Cleese, though only a cameo which would be further exploited in the following episode. But fourth: a really strong episode for Kristin Johnston, who really goes for it in the 'being average' aspect of the plot. Few things could be better written for her, and she fully lives it here. A standout episode from this standout series.
