This is the Season I have been waiting most for to see your opinions. For the first time in your MAUDE reviews, we are in complete agreement except I would have replaced "Adult Relationship" with "Vivian's Surprise" and "Maude's Desperate Hours" with "The New Maid".

Although I really want to name S2 as my favorite because the early stagey-ness is still present (which I adore), S5 contains more of my all-time favorite episodes than any other.

Totally agree that "The Election" is a "diamond in the rough" and that there are some stinkers in this lot. "Captain Hero" gets my vote as Worst Episode of the series.
