Which season of TFTC do you think was the best and why?
For me Season 2 will always be the absolute pinnacle of the show. It's the most EC-like of the show's run and had the perfect balance of being scary with plenty of dark humor and also balanced out the types of Horror the episodes dealt with, between Horror that was more realistic and psychological to more traditional Horror fare involving monsters, ghosts, etc. and Season 2 alone has so many absolutely classic episodes of the show like:
Television Terror (IMHO the overall best episode of the show) Fitting Punishment Cutting Cards The Secret Korman's Kalamity 'Til Death The Ventriloquist's Dummy Lower Berth Three's a Crowd Dead Right
There's other good ones too like The Thing From The Grave and For Cryin' Out Loud. So many Crypt classics in this one season alone. Besides S2, Seasons 5 and 3 are my runner-ups. If I were to rank them it'd go:
2 5 3 4 1 6 7
I think as a whole 1-5 were all excellent but sadly the show took a tremendous tumble with S6. Both seasons were under par except for a handful of decent ones in both.

I actually go back on the placements of 1 and 4 in my rank. 4 is a very good season but has some filler-y episodes, whereas Season 1 has more consistancy and the first three episodes are still among the show's best. Both are good for sure, though.

I think we all agree on season 7 being the absolute worst, with 6 coming in second, although it had some very good episodes (Comes the Dawn, Revenge is the Nuts). About the other seasons, I really can't decide which I like the most. All had their good and not-so-good episodes, yes, even season 2 (The Switch, Cutting Cards, Four-sided Triangle), if I had to choose, I would probably pick Season 3 as my favourite.

I think if you took the good episodes from both 6 and 7, you'd have a decent sixth and final season altogether if still below par the original five albeit to a much lesser degree. Each season had it's share of lackluster episodes, even S2, but with S6 and S7 most in both were sadly of poor quality. It's obvious by the time S6 rolled around the crew was just coasting along.
