The episode itself is written in a way that builds up towards a dramatic ending: there is a jumper, and the gang needs to decide what they're doing. But it just doesn't live up to the excitement of the decision they've reached. There was so much more they could've done that would lead to humorous situations. How funny would it be to see Cricket on that roof doing his thing? To have Dennis once again interacting with the reporter? Or even, to have Dee getting her car destroyed by having the jumper falling on it? Even the punch line at the end falls short, as Cricket could just shrug his shoulders and go ahead anyway.
In the end, it's a frustrating episode for me at least.
