Just missing the list is "I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can", which also got an A-.

Helter Shelter: N/A (Despite an impression that this is really bad, I haven't seen it in a while and can't really fix an exact grade)
Pray Anything: D/D-
Dude, Where's My Ranch: D

In the off-chance you actually read this post, you may find my grades for two of the bottom 5 choices a little generous, so I've taken the liberty of writing corresponding mini-reviews, to explain my slightly more generous stance.

TOP 5

"Moe Baby Blues" A
"Three Gays of the Condo" A-
"The Dad Who Knew Too Little" B+
"Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington" B+
"Bart of War" B+

BOTTOM 5

"Helter Shelter" C-
I think the first two acts are really funny, it only starts being the bomb most peple label it once Squiggy is introduced. From about there on, the episode goes from silly meta-satire to intolerably lame.

"Dude, Where's My Ranch?" C-
Again, I really like the first act here, plenty of witty jokes and cultural references, I also think the song montage was done very well. The rest of the episode isn't as sharp though, with Lisa being characterized as a completely shallow bitch, and the less said about her "first crush", the better (good thing, because i can't remember anything about him). A couple of decent gags in the second and third acts save it from faily town (yeah, I just made that up).

"Large Marge" C-
"Bart vs. Lisa vs. 3rd Grade" D+
"Pray Anything" D

the best

1) Moe Baby Blues
2) The Dad Who Knew Too Little
3) Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky
4) A Star is Born Again (this one is really underrated; it had a very ambitious subtly-developed plot, with compelling Ned characterization)
5) The Bart of War

the worst

1) Pray Anything (very nearly the worst episode ever; I can't think of anything good to say)
2) Treehouse of Horror 13
3) Large Marge
4) The Great Louse Detective
5) Helter Shelter

Yeah, I have to say the same thing...and I also want to know why do you include Strong Arms Of The Ma in your bottom 5. I donīt know if I agree or not (itīs too soon to rate this season in the right way for me) but most of people in Felizonia rate both Strong Arms Of The Ma and A Star Is Born-Again as good or average episodes.

None of them represent the show as it should.

You don't know when to stop, do you?

Unbelievable_Truth 07-22-2004 08:54 AM

OK, sorry.

Bottom 5: all.

I just didn't like them. I think ASIBA is boring, bland and far, far away from anything special. Besides, Ned made absolutely no sense at the end.
SAOTM is, imo, the worst episode of the season (and one of the worst ever). Very bad Marge characterisation and very bad plot, even ridiculous at times.

About Felizonia... I'm sorry, but I don't feel like going back.

See you, meatbags! :D

Anyway, here's my list, the top 5:
Special Edna A+ (A classic IMO. Hilarious gags, almost flawless plot)
'Scuse me while I Miss the Sky A (Subtle, funny, extremely strong plot)
The Bart of War A- (Underrated, hilarious first act and rest of episode was also great)
Mr. Spritz Goes To Washington A- (Strong political satire with good plot)
I'm Spelling as Fast as I can A- (Hilarious episode and a great subplot)

Bottom 5:
Strong Arms of the Ma: C (A good first act, but steroids was a really bad idea)
Dude, where's my ranch?: C- (Good first act, mediocre rest of episode)
Brake My Wife, Please: C- (Not a bad idea but executed badly)
Pray Anything D+ (Jerkass Homer makes a cameo - shame it was the entire episode)
Helter Shelter D (I'm convinced this was pulled right out of Season 11)

I think they tried to do something different here but they failed in many aspects...they get some things right , especially at the begginning of the episode and even in the second act, but the end was too wild and I agree Marge characterization was kind of bad, even if she is under the effects of the drugs.

Sorry you donīt want to come back. It would be easier for me to write this kind of long answer :D We hope you change your mind some day, anyway.

And Iīm sorry to interfere with this comentary, cause this topic was not created with this purpose.

bigstu554 08-12-2004 08:11 AM

Top 5:

1) "I'm Spelling..." - Far and away my favorite episode since S9. It's funny, it has good characterization, and George Plimpton is simply hilarous. (A/A+)
2) "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky" (A)
3) "C.E.D'oh" - I'm probably overrating this episode (the canary thing was pretty dumb) but episodes featuring Mr. Burns are always great. (A-)
4) "Special Edna" (B+)
5) "Moe Baby Blues" - I think this episode is overrated, but that's not to say it isn't pretty good. (B+)

Bottom 5:

1) "Pray Anything" - Yuck. (D-)
2) "The Great Louse Detective" - Just not funny. (D)
3) "Dude, Where's My Ranch" (D)
4) "Barting Over" - I hated it the first time I saw it, but it improved on repeated viewings. (C/C-)
5) "The Bart of War" (C)

Whitehotfury 08-12-2004 08:37 AM

Top 5

1. Moe Baby Blues
2. The Great Louse Detective
3. Three Gays of the Condo

2. Bart vs Lisa vs 3rd Grade
3. Helter Shelter
4. Dude Where's my Ranch?
5. Strong Arms of the Ma
