So basically you're personal enjoyment doesn't always reflect what you believe is the episode's quality? I completely understand that, hell I like It Ain't Easy Bein' Breezies even though I probably shouldn't. On the other hand that episode's flaws are unlike most other episodes of the show.
I'd say so. (My most hated episode prior to RF, Just for Sidekicks, wouldn't crack the bottom 20, either. Maybe not even the bottom 25.) Heck, if I told you what I find to be the WORST FIM episodes, it'd be so much different from my "least favorite" list.
