This Morris & Rauseo episode marks the last appearance of Travolta and it's not a bad note to end on. Vinnie tries to impress Nurse Bonney (Jane Dulo again) but she just keeps giving him mop duty. Then he, his friends, and Sidney and Myrna Fishbein (Henry Corden, best known as the voice of Fred Flintsone, and Mary Jo Catlett, who keeps popping up more than I expected), a couple who are about to have their eighth child, are trapped in an elevator. The outcome is somewhat predictable but the energy level is higher than lately and the writing a little sharper, like Epstein's "Otis" joke. Far from a classic episode, but good for the final season. And it does have Mr. Woodman disco-dancing as he sings "Macho Man."
