Not real big on Little Gift Shop of Horrors, but it is non-canon, so the characters can act out of character without any problems. To me, the weakest was The Love God; it doesn't really further the mystery, the character is obnoxious and the whole atmosphere of the episode is just this side of repulsive. AND...of course it was the first one several of my friends saw, so they have no desire to see any others. Thanks, Cupid.

The best so far is Not What He Seems, with Northwest Mansion Noir hard on its heels. I remember that in the 1960s the TV censors refused to let THRILLER show an axe in a zombie's head -- and now we do that in cartoons. But GRAVITY FALLS is a rare bird, not just among cartoons, but among TV shows in general.
