Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no!

while also being as creepy as the less socially-pointed eps by the other TZ writers. But they often looked disappointed in me, because it's such a basic pick and they liked championing lesser-known eps. The book's going to have my ranking of the best eps; no spoilers on whether that's still my #1.

In that case, Gleason and Carney played the characters so often both before and after the Classic 39 that I don't think it counts.

In 1995? Still one. But the WB as we know it wouldn't have existed without MSCL.

I am pretending that I disqualified it because I think of the movies as three additional mini-seasons. Yes, that's it.
