Favorite episode?

I haven't seen the whole series, only the first four episodes, (I didn't particularly like them...)

Are there any episodes you think I "definitely must see"?

Or should I just forget this series ever existed?

Give me your opinion on this weird "spin-off" (can you call it that?)

The episode I remember most vividly is the one with the girl running track, and it was ok, but the Freddy connection was really far fetched. (As in the other three episodes I saw)

So, fellow people born in the 70's (I assume) give me your input! Thanks.

All the episodes directly involving Freddy are the best in my opinion.

I think you can still see most episodes for free on Youtube.

The class reunion episode with Freddy and the one where he took over the fake psychic were two of my favorites.

Ok, thanks. I'll check those out.

Well, first and foremost are the 8 episodes that feature Freddy directly invovled in the plot(No More Mr. Nice Guy & Sister's Keeper should be looked at as taking place before the first Nightmare On Elm Street film, with a bit of a jump in logic & willing suspension of disbelief):

No More Mr. Nice Guy
Sister's Keeper
Freddy's Tricks And Treats
Safe Sex
Dream Come True
Dreams That Kill
Photo Finish
It's My Party And You'll Die If I Want You To

Other pretty good non-"Freddy-centric" episodes:

It's A Miserable Life
Mother's Day
Rebel Without A Car
Saturday Night Special
Deadline
The Art Of Death
Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?
Lucky Stiff
Easy Come, Easy Go
Interior Loft
Interior Loft... Later
Prisoner Of Love
Life Sentence

IMO The pilot, directed by Tobe Hooper

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

Missing Persons is my favorite episode. End of Season 1, episode 19 I believe.

it's been a looong time, but there were two episodes i remember the most.

the first one is about a guy working the graveyard shift in a drive thru fast food restaurant; a car pulls up to the window and the driver pulls out a gun. immediately the clerk goes into multiple dreams, and the dreams keep ending with the clerk back in the drive thru booth with a gun pointed at him.

the second one is a young woman stuck in a mental hospital and she keeps slipping between dreams and reality and can't tell whether what's going on in the hospital is real or not.

someone please let us know where we can find these episodes!

Sister's Keeper as it was the only one I kept from the original airing of the show on VHS, and probably the pilot. Those two actually had something to do with the Freddy storyline. I agree with the person who said the ones having to do with Freddy were the best episodes.

I loved Sisters Keeper episode.
