The first segment is excellent - top banter between a pair of exes, one New York, the other LA. It's a little weighted towards him, and anti-New York, and in the version I heard Bruce Davison doesn't quite knock it out of the park, but Marsha Mason is very good. This could have been expanded into a full length play, if you bring in her partner, his new partner, the daughter.
The second play is more routine - Jewish guy wakes up with a hooker asleep. I remember the really strong gag "let's not go so fast beyond the children".
The third play is deservedly famous - the English actress nominated for an Oscar and her bisexual husband.
The fourth play isn't very good - slapstick from a couple who hate each other. It's fine, just mechanical. You could cut it out, really.
