Well, we DID have an Episode ranking tournament. It took a month and a half and created enmity and bitterness between all who participated. But there was the ranking we came up with.

Of course, that's not the same as a personal ranking list, though.

  1. 110 Pier Pressure
  2. 103 Bringing Up Buster
  3. 118 Missing Kitty
  4. 115 Staff Infection
  5. 113 Beef Consomme
  1. 204 Good Grief
  2. 206 Afternoon Delight
  3. 218 Righteous Brothers
  4. 214 The Immaculate Election
  5. 216 Meet the Veals

I'm too lazy to do a ranking right now, but I'm noticing there is a serious lack of love for Let Em Eat Cake...

Let 'Em Eat Cake is in just about everyone's top 5 or honorable mentions...I think we should be more concerned with Amigos. C'mon!

The ranking that came out of the tournament was pretty good. Except Ready Aim Marry Me has to be last. It plain sucks. And I'd have Motherboy way down and Sword of Destiny higher up.

Season 1 is harder b/c there are more amazing episodes. With the exception of the episodes with Julia Louis Dreyfus, any episode in season 1 deserves to be in the top 5.

Season 1:

1) Pier Pressue
2) Bringing Up Buster
3) Key Decisions
4) Let Em Eat Cake
5) Storming the Castle

Season 2:
1) Afternoon Delight
2) Righteous Brothers
3) Good Grief
4) The Immaculate Election
5) The One Where they Build a House

Season 1:

1. Top Banana
2. Pier Pressure
3. Key Decisions
4. Beef Comsomme
5. Let Em Eat Cake

Underrated: Alter Egos/Justice Is Blind
Least Favorite: My Mother The Car


Season 2:

1. Good Grief
2. The Immaculate Election
3. Afternoon Delight
4. Amigos
5. Motherboy XXX

Underrated: Out On A Limb/Hand To God
Least Favorite: The One Where They Build A House



My top 5 for both seasons are pretty much in random order. I think I've pretty much settled on those 10, but to rank them in order is really asking too much. Obviously I have a soft spot for all 4 Julia Louis Dreyfus episodes, as I not only didn't have a problem with her like everyone else here, but found both pairs to be the best back to back episodes of the show in terms of storyline/continuity only behind Amigos/Good Grief.
