I always had thought about doing something like this, upperco, but never had the time.
And you've done it better than I could have, anyway!
But since I have a few minutes tonight, some quick comments on your excellent season reviews:

We agree on many of the top season eps. However, as good as "The Snow Must Go On" was, I think I would pick "Love Is All Around." True, it's the first ep, which means there's a lot of character introduction and fewer big laughs. But right from the get-go, one could see the potential in this series, which was totally fulfilled.

"Love Is All Around" is kind of a compromise pick, as it represents to me all the first-season eps, which didn't have the quantity of laughs that the later seasons did, but there still were plenty. We get to know and love the characters, which helps to set things up for later. And, as was the case throughout the show's run, all the stories were so well-written.

That said, some that I especially liked were "Support Your Local Mother", "Assistant Wanted, Female", "1040 or Fight", and "Anchorman Overboard." I love "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II", but I can only watch it in December!
