The 65

[Hippo]

There have been a few fun episode ranking threads and voting for best episode in season 3 and whatnot, I have decided to do another one in the spirit of preference of ranking episodes according to one's taste, and comparing it overall with everyone's tally.

So, how does this work?

Well. As you may know, there have been 65 episodes. 26 in season 1, 26 in season 2, and 13 in season 3. A great syndication number. For us, we will all rank our 65. Yup, that's right. ALL 65 episodes. From number 1 to stinky number 65, best to worst.

After lists come in, and while they continue to come in, I will be updating a chart compiling everyone's rankings and sort it for data so we can see which episodes rise to the top overall, and which ones stink out loud so much that it's kind of disheartening, especially if someone liked those episodes. It will spark great conversation about the episodes, and I will be providing interesting statistics as well in relation to other fun stuff like writers of the episodes, comparisons from each season, and even some fun personal evaluations.

So heres what you need to do:

List from 1 to 65 your episodes from best to worst. You may use simple text reply, or you can link to a Google document spreadsheet that allows public users to view it.

Rules:

- No ties. No exceptions. If there is a tie in the list, I will be forced to randomly decide the tie breaker.

- All 65 must be listed. Incomplete lists will not be included in the statistics.

- Do the list on your own. Try not to relate to other lists or ask others opinion. This is YOUR opinion. If you use someone else's opinion on your list, the statistics may skew.

If you choose to use a Google document, click here. You must sign in to your Google email account. Click "Create" and click "Spreadsheet". You will be able to copy and paste the list of episodes into the cells and move them around at your own desire. If you are on a PC, you must copy and paste by using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V hotkeys. If you are using a tablet or Mac, I don't know how to help you.
