I'll take the easy way out, i love every episode except Drafted, and even though i hated the Scotland and Gypsy episodes, they have grown on me over the years and with all that great music, i now love them also. So those are my top 178!

I think Drafted is absolutely the worst episode of the series. The Operetta, on the other hand, is far and away one of my favorites which I love today more than I used to. All the cast members have great moments in that one. I especially love how Vivian goes from so innocently singing "I am Lilly of the valley" into belting out that song in an almost raunchy way. The Scotland episode has some solid music in it, but it doesn't stand up to Operetta.

SPLAIN · 09-25-2002, 09:49 AM

Agree, i've said a hundred times that as a kid i HATED the musical numbers, i wanted comedy, not singing, but now that i'm an old fogey, i love them. As for that Ethel thing with the singing that song, yes, many people mention that, it's like when you find out about her real life, compared to her image, she goes from the innocent Viv to the one married four times, and a husband who used to beat her and the last one was gay, unreal!

Ditto. It's so ridiculous. Sure, Ethel's pregnant.

SPLAIN · 09-25-2002, 04:14 PM

Fred and Ethel could hardly kiss, never mind having a baby! I hope i live to see the day, i'll like this partucular episode, but believe it or not, some people have told me they like it!

QueenOfTheGypsies · 09-25-2002, 04:21 PM

Add me to the list of those who don't like "Drafted." Blech.

SPLAIN · 09-25-2002, 04:27 PM
