Weekend Discussion Thread: Episodes That Grew on You

Alert reader James writes:

Here’s a good topic for weekend discussion: “episodes I hated or just disliked at first, but now love.”

Ooh, good one! Me, I would pick episode 615- KITTEN WITH A WHIP. Something about the movie turned me off the first couple of times I saw it, but when I watched it more recently for the episode guide, it just cracked me up and the movie didn’t bug me at all.

And, you know, I guess since we’re doing this, we should also probably allow comments on the reverse: episodes you initially liked but later soured on.

Which one(s) would you pick?

Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Credit Sequences

Alert reader Joshua writes:

I’ve been thinking about this one for a while, but with this week’s episode guide entry it’s never been more relevant:
What’s your favorite credit sequence? It’s a real credit (ba-dum-ting!) to the Brains that there are so many hilarious sequences from the show that revolve around . . . words on a screen set to music.
So what’s everyone’s favorite? It can be an opening or closing sequence. For me, it’s obviously Werewolf’s closing credits. “TUSK!”

My pick would probably be the discussion of who loves femmy movies the most in episode 516- Alien from L.A.
What’s yours?
