🚕🐴 John digs into Season 2, Episode 14—“Jim Gets a Pet”—where Reverend Jim catches the horse-racing bug after a lucky day at the track. He plunges his winnings into the long-shot he backed, buys the horse (affectionately renamed), and even tries to keep it in his tiny apartment—prompting equal parts worry and comic concern from the Sunshine Garage crew. The story ends on a darker, surprisingly poignant note when the gang discovers the horse has died, giving the episode an odd mix of slapstick, melancholy, and character depth.
John breaks down why this entry works: the episode turns a goofy premise into real emotional payoff for Jim, showcases the ensemble’s chemistry, and has been singled out by critics and fans as a season highlight. Tune in for a ranking that considers both the laughs and the unexpectedly tender moments.
