It's almost amazing what a leap this show took from its first to its second season. Looking at the episodes below, any other sitcom would be almost embarrassed to have this many good episodes in an entire lifetime, let alone a single season. The show was able to balance trenchant satire, genuine pathos and pure hilarity like nothing else on television. (The fact that they could use a "reading a letter out loud" scene twice, in Blood Feud and Dead Putting Society, and have it be hysterical both times, tells you how good the writers used to be.)
I honestly can't tell you off the top of my head what I'd vote for. Either of the "Gets an F" episodes, "Three Men and a Comic Book," "Bart vs. Thanksgiving," Unky Herb Powell . . . So many great ones to choose from.
