This entertaining episode stars the late, great Jack Cassidy, who's as hammy as ever, and very funny as Ted's brother, or as Hal(Cassidy)puts it, Ted is "his brother", not the other way around. I heard somewhere that Cassidy was originally offered the part of Ted, but turned down the offer, which was too bad. That isn't to say that Ted Knight wasn't great either, but I think Cassidy would be my personal preference if he took up the offer. In this episode, they both try to outclass each other with fake stories of success and the like, and Ted even manages to convince Mary to be his girlfriend, while Hal dates Rhoda. Cassidy's arrogance and smugness are really the best moments, as Mary and Rhoda don't do all that much, although Ted has some funny moments as well. While the ending seemed a bit rushed, having the brothers come clean after their false pretensions, added a nice touch. Both actors died too young, and I think they would've added more humor to our lives. This episode meant a tad more to me because of that, and I do recommend it.
