It's kind of funny, Matt. You and I like tons of the same things, and even though we can't quite agree on everything about Buffy or the DCAU, I feel the exact same way about the Scully and Jean eras that you do.
The Principal and the Pauper - I thought it was a decent episode, but it probably gets hate for having the mother of all cop outs. It's sort of like, if they were just going to ignore everything in the end, what's the point of the episode?
The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemopetilons - I may've enjoyed it a bit more than you, but I agree about the cool ending.
Miracle on Evergreen Terrace - I'm glad you like the episode considering it gets so much hate. I think it's hilarious, and it's not mean spirited in any way. The ending may be sort of dark, but it's not tragic or anything.
The Joy of Sect - I didn't know Nancy Cartwright was a Scientologist when I first watched this. I wonder if they talk about that on the commentary.
This Little Wiggy - Is this the one where Nelson talks about picking flowers or something? I've been wondering what episode that was for days, and I can't remember.
Lost Our Lisa and Natural Born Kissers - Both episodes are enjoyable because they remind us of the characters' ages. I love it whenever Lisa acts like a kid, and seeing Homer in the role of adult works because he's STILL Homer.
Then if Principal and the Pauper was an intentional parody, I don't know why people wouldn't like it, it made me laugh (although it's not good when they rely on it in future episodes, like when Snowball II was killed and replaced).
I thought it was huckleberries. The reason I asked was because I recently saw Breakfast At Tiffany's, and it made me remember Nelson listening to Andy Williams' "Moon River" as well as Nelson being cast in the role of Huckleberry Finn in another episode, so...I guess Nelson's got a running gag about huckleberries, huh?
Well, the ENDING was a self-parody about how The Simpsons resets everything at the end of the episode and nothing ever really changes on the show. They used the biggest cop-out possible as a joke at the show's expense. Simpsons fans were actually silly enough to take the ending seriously when it actually was a self-deprecating knock at the show itself.
I love how Nelson loves Andy Williams and picks huckleberries. It's hilarious and makes his character so well rounded.

Miracle on Evergreen Terrace : It gets hate because it's a Scully episode. Logic never goes into fans' reviews of newer episodes.
The Joy of Sect : I haven't seen the commentary yet. I'll let you know but my guess is no.
This Little Wiggy : Huckleberries. ALWAYS with the huckleberries. :D
