Like many Peggy episodes, this one depresses me. I have a friend who hates Peggy and yes she's often delusional, but being ambitious isn't a crime. Especially when her ambitions are usually small. This isn't like, for instance, when she attempts to become a beauty queen. Moving from the best Boggle player in the town to compete at state is a perfectly normal ambition.

Judge holds this edge often

Not always, but this edge persists in his work: somehow delusional, we might be inclined to ridicule, but something human and recognizable. Anyone who watches enough episodes is missing the point if they're not laughing at themselves

And it's not easy being Peggy Hill at times, that is pretty clear

Bobby and Luann hijinks always were some of the best parts of this show
