Danny Phantom: Mystery Meat (2003)
Great episode
Oh I find this episode funny.
So basically. The episode starts with Jack explaining ghost hunting to his son, Danny, and Danny's friends, Sam and Tucker, in the lab basement. While Jack is showing off his inventions and explaining how they work (or do not work), the Fenton Ghost Portal mysteriously opens, releasing two ectopuses. The ghosts grabbed Sam and Tucker, Danny quickly goes ghost off screen, defeats the ghosts, they retreated, and transforms back before Jack sees anything. After that, Jack blabbers about his history.
At breakfast the next morning, Danny is having trouble controlling his powers. Danny's right arm became intangible from eating cereal. Maddie and Jack tests the newly completed Fenton Finder, which "mysteriously" directs to ghosts. It start detecting Danny unexpectedly, leading them to think it must be malfunctioning.
This prompts Danny to attempt to tell his parents his secret, but before he can, Jazz interrupts and tells them that their ghost hunting is bad for Danny's development and offers to drive Danny to school. Because Jazz never drives Danny to school, Jack assumes that she must be a ghost pretending to be Jazz.
S01e01 falling through the floor
Danny accidentally phases through the floor.
At school, Danny continues to have difficulty controlling his ghost powers. He gets worried about this problem and wishes his parents would invent something that can make him a normal human again. Sam assures Danny his powers are good because they are unique, just like her being an ultra-recycle-vegetarian. Tucker gets ready for his all-protein diet; however, Sam reveals that she has successfully convinced the school board to change the lunch menu. To everyone else's dismay, ultra-recycle-vegetarian food is now being served in the cafeteria; they all have to eat grass on buns.
S01e01 Lunch Lady out of the portal
Lunch Lady Ghost
Meanwhile, in the lab of Fenton Works, the Lunch Lady Ghost escapes through the Fenton Ghost Portal, sensing that someone has changed the menu, and escapes to the school kitchen. Meanwhile, Maddie and Jack still think Jazz is a ghost; they plan to ambush her with the Fenton Xtractor when she gets in the house.
At school during lunch, Mr. Lancer thanks Sam for giving the cafeteria a brand-new experiment. Tucker scents meat near, but Lancer assures him that word of the teachers having an all-steak buffet in the teachers' lounge is purely rumor. Danny and Tucker sarcastically thank Sam for making them have to eat "garbage". Then Danny's ghost sense goes off. Just then, Dash wrongfully blames Danny for the food (which was the fault of Sam, who Dash mockingly calls Danny's girlfriend) and tries to force him to eat it.
Danny starts a food fight to escape from Dash and he and his friends escape into the kitchen, where they meet the Lunch Lady Ghost. She asks if the menu has been changed, and Tucker tells her that Sam is responsible. The Lunch Lady Ghost suddenly becomes hostile, and Danny has to "go ghost" to protect his friends.
Danny and his friends escape into the halls. The Lunch Lady uses the meat from the all-steak buffet in the teachers' lounge to turn herself into a meaty monster. She captures Sam and flies away.
Danny and Tucker try to follow them, but they are interrupted by Mr. Lancer, who blames them for starting the food fight and takes them and Dash to his office. Dash is the school's star quarterback and thus exempt from punishment, but Mr. Lancer aims to punish Danny and Tucker very heavily. Mr. Lancer and Dash walk out for a moment, so Danny uses his intangibility to escape the office with Tucker.
Tucker, with his enhanced meat-sniffing abilities, finds a meat storage room where the Lunch Lady Ghost is torturing Sam by attempting to force her to eat meat. Danny goes ghost again and fights the Lunch Lady Ghost, but she again turns into a giant meat monster. Danny and his friends escape, but Danny is exhausted from the fight and passes out in midair while carrying Sam and Tucker.
At Fenton Works, Jazz enters and is immediately attacked by Jack and Maddie with a smoke grenade and the Fenton Xtractor. Sam and Tucker then enter, carrying a sleeping, Danny. They bring him to his room and put him on his bed, where he eventually wakes up. Sam and Tucker get angry at each other, Tucker blaming Sam for angering the Lunch Lady Ghost and swearing to change the menu back, and Sam vowing to stop him.
S01e01 pro meat
The next day, both Sam and Tucker have organized large protests outside the school. Sam and Tucker both each want Danny on their sides and fight with each other, but they are interrupted when the Lunch Lady Ghost attacks. She once again turns into a meat monster, this time even larger than before, and summons meat minions using the meat from Tucker's protest. Danny goes ghost again and battles her and her minions.
S01e01 Jazz under net
Meanwhile, Jack and Maddie show up with the Fenton Grappler and catch Jazz with it, still believing that she is a ghost. Jazz explains to them that she isn't one and tries to convince them to give up on ghosts. Just as Jazz is about to succeed, they all see the "ghost kid" and Jack's desire to catch ghosts returns to Jazz's dismay.
S01e01 Danny kicking the Lunch Lady
During the battle, Danny loses control of his powers, and he accidentally turns back into human form. The minions take this opportunity to grab Danny and throw him to the ground. Danny quickly changes back just in time to phase through the ground and takes Jack's Fenton Thermos. Danny uses his powers to activate the Fenton Thermos and captures and defeats the Lunch Lady Ghost. Afterward, Danny decides not to tell his parents about his powers.
Mr. Lancer soon finds them and is outraged to see his students messing up the place with lots of meat, and Danny, Sam, and Tucker are in trouble again. As punishment, they are left to clean up the food all over the school. Sam is forced to deal with the meat while Tucker is forced to deal with the vegetables.
Dash is again exempt from punishment and simply laughs at Danny's predicament, until Danny uses his powers to phase open the dumpster, spilling all the meat onto Dash, who asks for help. Danny smiles mischievously as he says, "Whatever you say, Dash," and his eyes turn green and glow as the episode ends.
I found this episode to be really enjoyable. 85/100.
Home Improvement: Pilot (1991)
Here we are, the episode that started it all
The series premiere opens with Tim Taylor trying to gather his family to watch Tool Time, his show about tools. Unfortunately, his two oldest kids,David Taylor Brad Taylor and Randy Taylor go outside to play sports Jill Taylor her Jill's sister Rachel Taylor is ironing. The show changes its interface and now is displaying Tool Time as if it is airing currently. Tim and his assistant, Al Borland, are showing how to change a dead bolt lock, and when Al shows the proper tool, Tim feels the urge to tweak the standards. He has Lisa, th1e Tool Time Girl, give him a much more powerful tool, to satisfy his "more power" hunger.
Soon, it reverses its interface to its normal status, and shows Rachel Jill and Tim talking about his show and a comment he made about wives. Quickly, Tim runs over to see Randy hanging Mark on the swing set, by his feet. After Tim stops the little scheme, Brad zips through the living room, and Tim sets him aside, and looks to the football he is carrying in his arm. After he tells him to hold it with both arms so he won't fumble, Brad runs upstairs.
Jill tells Tim that he can't go to Sears because she has a job interview. Although he's sure Jill never mentioned a job interview, she insists that she did. He tells her he'll be gone for twenty minutes, and she won't even notice he's gone. Jill runs over to retrieve the Binford measuring tape and says she'll put it in the disposal if he leaves. Tim agrees to stay. She tells him he had better clean the dishes while she's gone for the interview. He begins and says that if the dishwasher cannot wash away egg yolk, that it needs to be a man's dishwasher with "more power."
Tim thinks that he can fix the sprayer, and Jill pops out and immediately disagrees, saying that all he wants to do is bring out his tools and play. After she leaves, he begins to rant on how he can improve its power and how it can be more extreme. Jill hears it all from around the corner, and says that he will not. She tells him, "the blender", for an example. He responds, "It's the only blender in the neighborhood that can purée a brick."
Jill leaves an hour or so later and Tim walks outside to Wilson. He explains his situation and says that Tim feels lost as a man, and needs to reclaim his spirit and superiority. Tim replies to this by stating, "I'll start by reclaiming that dishwasher." He yells out to his sons that they are going to Sears. The scene reappears and Tim says that they need to be finished with the dishwasher before Jill comes home.
Lindsay Brad Zack David Alice Lindsay and Randy run out of the kitchen and into the backyard when Tim uses a quote from Wilson, "or we can all sit around naked at a campfire", in which scares them. Mark and Becky says he'll stay and begins to strip his shirt. A surprised Tim realizes what Mark and Becky doing, and says only bare-chested men. After going through a few safety precautions, Tim leads Becky and Mark into the garage. He says that this is a fusebox, and you need to turn off the electricity in the area they are working in. Of course, that would be the kitchen, but because of the labels and the fact that it was written in pencil, it is smudged.
He decides the letter "K" is close enough to "kitchen". After trotting back to the kitchen, he tells Mark and Becky you need to open the access panel to the dishwasher, and is very surprised to see numerous wires, in which he tries to show Becky and Mark that he is not confused. He repeats the wires' colors, "brown", "red", and then "yellow", where he says that the sun is yellow and heats the ground and therefore the yellow wire should be cut. He cuts it and a huge spark explodes, and Tim is in pain. He tries to hide it and makes an excuse to go the garage, where his scream can be heard.
Tim comes out and tries to "shake it off". He spins around continuously, obviously, in pain. He tells Mark and Becky as he sits down on a bench, that he did that to teach him an important lesson. He also says that it's best when your working with electricity, to shut it all off. Quickly changing the subject, Tim takes Mark and Becky upstairs to show him how to treat a severe electrical burn.
After the commercial break, Tim receives a call from the interviewing people, saying that Jill did not get the job. As he Lindsay and Randy say turtle shell. Tim sits down on a chair out in the backyard, Jill and Rachel comes rushing in, saying that she nailed the interview, and there's no way on Earth she didn't get the job. Tim was going to tell her, but couldn't. She sees the electrical burn on his hand, and knows immediately that he "touched" the dishwasher. Tim tries to demonstrate, by placing the plate with yolk on it into the dishwasher (it's already been fixed). After a few moments of cleaning, the plate shoots straight out of the back of the dishwasher, and pieces of the silverware and plates are scattered everywhere.
Mark informs Jill of her rejection, and she begins to clean up, sulking. She and Tim begin to argue about jobs, and she accuses him of being a man who owns a tool show and walks and grunts around like an ape. Apparently mad about the job, Jill goes upstairs when Tim slips out an unwanted comment. He begins to clean up around the house, and walks into the backyard where Wilson is.
Wilson tells Tim that he should've listened to Rachel and Jill and tried to do nothing, because sometimes doing nothing is the best thing to do. The pre-closing credits scene at the end shows Tim apologizing in a subtle manner on his next Tool Time episode. Jill forgives him, and soon Jill asks him the last time they both spent time in the backseat of the car. Tim pulls off his shirt, and soon when he is almost indecently exposured, Jill takes his clothes and locks the garage door, in which he is in. It shows a short time later with a plumber finished installing the dishwasher, to its old original model. Tim is outside in the backyard, half-naked, pounding on the door, and Jill says to the plumber that he's trying to "reclaim his man spirit".
Positives: Tim Allen was funny

Wilson was a good character.
