I feel like you can’t judge monster factory all as a big group. Like if you pick favorites but everyone has to compete with the Final Pam like. Forget about it. And you gotta appreciate just. The ebb and flow of this series.

Obviously of course there’s Before Pam, PAM, and After Pam. But it won’t be long until there’s three times as many After Pam era episodes as there are Before Pam. This is as untenable as comparing the Pre-Pam era to the Post Pam era. 

And so, I have taken it upon myself to catalogue the series into distinct chapters, grouped not just by time, but also by atmosphere. Please allow me to present… 

The Monster Factory by Era

Phase 1
The Three Kings
Squirtle, Cyber-Garfield, and Dark Vader.
The Titans ruled the earth; overshadowed only by the gods who would depose them.

Phase 2
The Dawning of An Age
D-Bomb, THe Pebble, Truck, Dino-Landsbury, The Boy Mayor of Second Life, Toucan Dan, Chiquita Dave.
The wheels have found the road; the shape of the Factories purpose is clear now.

Phase PAM 

God From The Machine
The Final Pam.
No walls can hold her.

Phase 4
The Cambrian Age
Borth Sampson, Randy Johnson+Panpan, Rat Baby+ Succotash, #Noid, Justin, The Junker.
Experimentation abounds: strange and wonderful new shapes fill the new niches in the environments. 

Interlude
Second Life, Second Chances
Return of the Boy Mayor
Dogs should be able to vote.

Phase 5
The Attitude Era
Totinos, Melissa, Daz, Trülbus, Jaa’m, Shreck The Movie, Buzzbo the Bee Movie. 
From rude and rowdy beginnings come to a grim head in me beautiful spores.

Phase 6
A World Of Pure Imagination
Turbovicki, Knife Dad, Jefferson Tallpipe, Granny Slime
Back to basics, but with joy made all the brighter by the previous eras terrifying end.

Phase 7
Sweeps Week
Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Full House, Dharma and Greg, Fråsîér, Everybody Loves Raymond, Boba Fett, The OC, Todd Coolbody, Golden Girls, Family Guy.
Something had to be done about the ratings. But how sweeps is too sweeps? Someone must pay the Price.

Phase 8
To Be Determined
Mario?????, Cid Finalfantasy, Stang.
