How about "All of season 4 except the Flim Flam episode"? That's my vote. Season 4 seriously blew me away from beginning to end.

[ThePreciseClimber 97]

No idea why people think Pinkie Pride is oh so much better than Magical Mystery Cure. That damn celebrity bias.

The story structure is weaker, the conflict is superfluous and everyone besides PP seems flanderized. Or at least blind.
