*Only decent quality screenshot of the title card I could find. Sorry. :(
This is one of the funniest if not THE funniest episode of the first season. It revolves around Lincoln, who embarks on a mission to snag the best seat in the car for himself, labeled "The Sweet Spot." From there, we're treated to some humorous scenes highlighting some embarrassing road trip habits each sister has, which displays their quirky characteristics extraordinarily well. After all this, though, there comes the part where Lincoln's sisters figure out his scheme and confront him first-hand, which is the main reason why many fans hate this episode. First off, Lincoln kind of brought it onto himself for overscheming. Second, you have to keep in mind that nobody wins in the end, and everything is fine. As for the fighting, I found it to be more of a parody of sibling rivalry, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Lisa's battle cry and the kids destroying Vanzilla at the very end. Needless to say, the kids get hit with a punishment and everyone learns their lesson. I feel that this episode EXTREMELY underrated because all everyone cares about is their precious Lincoln coming out on top in the end. There's more to this episode than just fighting. Overall, it's an instant classic and one of my very-favorite Season 1 highlights. 10/10
Episode 4B: The Tale Of Two Tables
Tired of eating supper at the kiddie table with his five younger sisters, Lincoln hatches a plan to convince his parents to let him eat at the grown-up table with his five older sisters. Afterwards, we get a humorous scene where Clyde tries to prepare Lincoln for the grown-up table. He stumbles a lot, and it's very relatable with tons of other kids, making it's motives even more powerful. Eventually, Lincoln does manage to snag a spot at the grown-up table, where he is forced to get used to some very far-fetched customs. Again, very relatable with kids. It's then that Lincoln realizes that it's important to be grateful for all that you have in life, and he gets himself sent back to the kiddie table by acting immature the next day at supper time. This episode, overall, is very decent. The message was demonstrated very well although it's pretty light on the humor. It would get a higher score ifd more good jokes were slipped in, but it's very far from a bad watch. 6/10
