Only one I did enjoy was seeing Mac go crazy and commando.
I always found Mac's wild side to be a fun plot device and I had a blast watching him go ballistic on everyone, plus Eduardo's clueless nature was kind of funny but otherwise, this episode is a steaming pile of character bashing that I don't think I will EVER want to watch again.

"I Only Have Surprise For You" is my least favourite too, though one good thing I do have to say about it is that Wilt's line "Every day should be Earth Day!" is classic Wilt through and through. That really made me smile.
To use the same example of an episode I really enjoyed as you, I think that "Good Wilt Hunting" is possibly the greatest thing that Foster's has ever done, though if I were to pick at one tiny detail it would be its depiction of Wilt's losing his eye. Given that the left peeper he has right now is presumably not intended to be his real eye (does it look like a real eye to you?), having the basketball land upon the eye and merely merge it into its current shape seemed a bit too clean and convenient - I know that at the end of the day Foster's must remain an intrinsically kid-friendly show, but it still seemed like something of a cop-out...I would much rather have had the ball land upon his eye and then have the sequence cut away without actually having to show the damage.
