Halloween is so close I can taste it (tastes
like candy corn and Jolly Ranchers) so now is a good time to look back and
reflect on the season. First
things first: a huge, heartfelt thank you to all of you for reading,
commenting, and liking the blog on Facebook. It’s been tremendously fun and I’ve loved sharing it all
with you. Luckily we have lots
more holidays coming up to enjoy together!
I’m thrilled that I beat last year’s record of
65 episodes watched. It was close but I did it, having watched my 67th episode last night. And maybe I can cram one or two more in
by midnight on Halloween! We also
survived our trip to Sleepy Hollow and finally made it to the Great Jack
O’Lantern Blaze, which was amazeballs.
I read four Halloween books, watched a couple of Halloween movies and
ate way too much candy. Tis the
season!
And now I will hand out some random,
meaningless awards (hey, if the Academy can do it so can I):
Our number one trope of Halloween 2013 was the
inexplicably popular Rag Doll Costume, which appeared in four different
episodes. Coming tied in second
and appearing in three episodes
each were the ever-popular Cleopatra Costume, A Dark & Stormy
Blackout and Haunting with a Logical Explanation.
Scariest Moment is a tie between Zeke the Plumber in every scene he appeared in
along with the moment Greta turned from trick-or-treater to demon in
“Hellowe’en.” Honorable mention
for the scene in which Louie and his daughters were menaced in Louie.
Worst Episode goes to The Big Bang Theory’s
“The Holographic Excitation.”
Best New Show Discovery is Halloween Wars, with the
junior award given to Doc McStuffins.
Worst New Show Discovery goes to Quints by Surprise—but
at least one Facebook poster said they loved the show. Different strokes, folks!
Fictional Halloween Party I Most Wish I Was Invited To goes to the Taylor family’s two parties seen
in Home Improvement, with an honorable
mention for Carrie’s party in Two of a Kind.
Unnecessary Excessive Flatulence Dishonor is bestowed upon Jessie with a shout-out to the “fart attack” in Parks & Recreation.
And finally the Batshit Crazy award
goes to Girlfriends for bringing us
the poignant story of a woman’s nervous breakdown, her shopping cart, and a
weirdly long church-set sobfest.
As for tomorrow’s post, I’ve saved the bestest
for lastest—can you guess what it will be?!
