An Episode Challenge

Wilt doing it didn't bother me, the people praising him like a god now THAT was bad, I really could have done without that. I also feel they could have changed the "crimes" the convicts committed that got them locked up. "Stole money for soda pop?" come on, that's the most pathetic, babyish thing I've ever heard, seriously.

The episode I not only hate, but LOATHE to Hell and back is "I only have surprise for you". I almost wasn't going to put this down because I feel that episode is so freaking inhuman and careless to Mac's feelings, it almost has ZERO good qualities. 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.

The silly crimes for which those "good ole' boys" got locked up for were probably an intentionally jab at some of the actual, on-the-books-and-still-enforced laws that afflict many small Southern towns. South Carolina alone has many places that still lock up folks for jay-walking or spitting on the sidewalk, and Georgia is right up there, too. Those guys in the hick-town jail in Good Wilt Hunting looked like refugees from "My Name Is Earl", and talked like 'em, too!

I disliked "I Only Have Surprise For You", as well, though I DID like the part where the clown friend gets freaked out by the "sickos" in the house and leaves...probably a case of "turn-about's fair play", knowing how many people have been freaked out by clowns when they were kids!
