Train Job, for sure. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 10/03/2010 04:58:41 PM
It was the first aired episode because it was re-designed to draw in initial viewers. You can use the Pilot and "Out of Gas" as explanatory episodes for looking back at the origins. And Camilla is right about "Out of Gas", it's funnier when you already know the characters as they are now.

Train Job. The pilot is longer and slower to develop, from what I recall. Zalis - 10/03/2010 02:39:08 PM 743 Views
