This is totally in the vein of IMHO. Feel free to comment!
1. Pilot -- To me, "Pilot" is pure perfection. What a great first episode.
2. The Life of Brian -- Well, Brian is me. Also, I love the scene at the World Happiness Dance with Angela and Brian at the end. So much said and unsaid.
3. In Dreams Begin Responsibilities -- Brian is left alone on his bike at the end. This is one the saddest TV images in existence.
4. The Substitute -- Yes, this story has been told before. But ideas matter. Also, perception isn't everything.
5. Guns and Gossip -- Brian takes his first steps towards being a man.
6. Dancing in the Dark -- I love the moving back and forth between the Chases' dancing lesson and Angela getting her fake ID from Jordan. That Angela Smile is the best thing since sliced bread.
7. Father Figures -- Who wouldn't want Dead tickets? Also, there's a great moment between Angela and Graham when he is fixing the gutter.
8. The Zit -- Angela realizes that everyone can be beautiful.
9. Self Esteem -- I can really feel for Angela when Jordan wants to keep their relationship a secret.
10. Pressure -- Almost everything about sex in high school isn't pretty. I feel a little guilty when I watch this episode because I did some things that Jordan does here.
11. So-Called Angels -- I know, I know. It's a "very special episode" with a message. But it is an important message given in the best way I think it can be for this show. Also, the "fight having us" is a powerful and all too real concept.
12. Strangers in the House -- Brian gets some play from Sharon and gets dumped. Been there and done that. Also, Angela and Brian share a close moment.
13. Why Jordan Can't Read -- I really felt for Angela when Jordan didn't show up to meet Patty and Graham.
14. Other People's Daughters -- Patty takes charge. But we find out something that makes her tick.
15. On the Wagon -- The last scene says it all. Rayanne takes a drink.
16. Halloween -- Danielle dressing like Angela is a classic moment. Yes, it's a "very special episode," too.
17. Resolutions -- I like the opening scene the best. What's my New Year's resolution?
18. Betrayal -- My skin crawls when I watch this episode.
19. Weekend -- Is this a MSCL episode? The good thing is that Neil gets a lot of screen time. Neil's a great younger brother.
