Forgive me if I'm off here, but are you sure that the "Pink Squirrel Friend" doesn't refer to Fluffer Nutter? I mean, she fits that description, and although she has been referred to by name in the show, I don't remember hearing it until "Cuckoo for Coco Cards". But maybe I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.


Anyhow, my answers...

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?

Good Wilt Hunting (I don’t have much of a problem lumping the specials in with the more regular stories, since I basically think of them as extended episodes). Wilt, a supremely endearing and interesting IF if ever there was one, had long been begging for his turn in the limelight (true, he did have “Where there’s a Wilt, there’s a way, but it was a little too brief and superficial for my liking) and this episode finally answered some of the burning questions surrounding his character and answered them more than satisfactorily, whilst still leaving other things open-ended enough to generate discussion (how did Wilt survive between leaving Jordan and coming to Foster’s, for example). That it’s by turns funny and touching and has a great story certainly doesn’t hamper it.

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?
Seeing Red - Red is a flower child after my own heart, and Terrence is always good for laughs. Another thing I like about this episode is how it captures Bloo’s softer and more sensitive side. Too bad that Red didn’t become a regular player, but hey, there’s still time for him to make a second appearance.

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?

This is much more of a toughie, given that there are a few Season 2 episodes with equally strong things for me to like about them - namely, the Big LaBlooski, the Sweet Stench of Success, Cookie Dough, Frankie My Dear and Partying is Such a Sweet Soiree. But if pressed, I’ll tip the hat to TBLB, for the cameo appearance from a certain trio of Coen Bros characters, and TSSOS, since it’s currently the only place to find my favourite human/villain/one-off character.

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?

Room with a Feud - a relatively simple premise that worked a treat, and involved all four leading IFs (and Jackie Khones ) very nicely.

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?

The aforementioned Good Wilt Hunting…but if you’d like a little variation in my answers, then Bus the Two of Us. I laughed until my intestines ached.

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?

I’m not sure if I’m really qualified to answer this one, since I’ve only actually seen three episodes thus far - but of the three, Schlock Star quite easily claims the crown.

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?

So far, it’s a toss-up between seasons 2 and 4. But then I haven’t yet seen enough of Season 5 to make a sound judgement.

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?

Three guesses. And the first two don’t count.

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?

Like many others here, there’s a special place in my heart for Drawing Bored - but at the same time, there’s also something I find strangely cool and alluring about that Coconuts short. "Coco-Nuts-Arr-Fa-lingfrom...."

Which human character do you believe is the best?

Well, it’s just a personal preference, but I am totally honest when I say Kip Snip. True, he only appeared in one episode and we haven’t heard a peep out of him since, but I reckon he still fits the criteria. See, as much as I identify with Wilt’s insecurities and admire his steadfast desire to put others above himself and always do the right thing, the truth is…I love a bad boy. Kip owns.

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?

Wilt. What is there not to like about him? For starters he’s the perfect gentleman, his character design is simply beautiful and there’s always been a lot of depth and understatement from the beginning. Plus, I love how sweetly neurotic he is - I've had OCD for most of my teenage/twentysomething life, and his personal doubts and constant need to apologise are something I can really relate to, and I think it is portrayed really well...no small feat, given how frequently the media misses the mark when it comes to matters of mental and emotional health. Yay, Wilt.

Which “minor”, or background character, do you believe is the best?

I’ve already singled Kip out as my favourite minor character, but if you were thinking more along the lines of one of the supporting IFs who frequently show up in the backdrop of the house, then sweet little Crackers without hesitation. How anyone can slam eyeballs against that little darling and not want to pick him up and take him out for ice cream is beyond me.
