I gave myself a little challenge this morning - after having watched "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies" last night and realized how strongly I disliked the episode, I decided to go through the full list of episodes for the whole show, pick out which ones I liked from each season and which I disliked, rank them, and then put them on display. Perhaps to compare notes, perhaps just to satisfy my own curiosity. It's just a data dump - I may go deeper into why I like certain episodes more than others in later blog posts.

This ended up being a big enough list that I felt it would make more sense to post it as a blog entry than to try to shoehorn it into a "Favorite episodes" forum discussion. This list is current as of 3/2/2014 (most recent episode = S4 E16: Breezies).
