As of this post I've only seen season 1 but, so far, almost all the episodes have been great!

There were only 2 episodes I didn't like.

Look Before You Sleep -- just a bit boring and predicable. Unlike the other episodes, this one just felt like some average kids show.

Feeling Pinkie Keen -- I could see how some might like it and I appreciate that they were trying to deal with a complex concept but, imo, they failed miserably. I won't go into detail but it just felt preachy and contrived. ... and Twilight Sparkle, whom I normally love, became that stereotypical "arrogant scientist" character. I don't want to start a religious debate (I'm certainly not anti-religious, or even necessarily opposed to the notion of unexplainable phenomena) but I hated this episode.

In truth, upon watching each episode for the first time, MMMystery on the friendship express (S2 episode 24) was really the main one that I sort of found hard to get into. But despite the fact that I've watched some episodes many more times than others, I've more or less enjoyed all the episodes so far.

Oh yes.

May The Best Pet Win - I was actually shocked at just how much I hated this episode, so much so that I actually tried to fool myself into liking the song and the ending just so I could say I enjoyed something about it. I gave up on that and just accepted that a bad episode of the series had been produced.

Baby Cakes - Just a dull episode. Using the babies to make Pinkie Pie act super serious wasn't funny, and that's basically what the whole thing came down to.

A Friend In Deed - Another dull episode all around. The one thing good about it was Smile song and even then, the episode kind of ruined it for me since it'll forever be associated with such a mediocre episode. Pinke Pie pissing Cranky off and/or humiliating him was painful to watch and not funny.

MMMystery on the Friendship Express - Second least favorite episode ever after MTBPW. The only thing I liked about it was the flashback with that griffon guy, everything else was just dumb.

Elements of Harmony (aka: Friendship is Magic part 2)- Just very dull and felt more like a poorly made Disney Channel show. This is actually why I hated the show, for a while.

Luna Eclipsed- poorly written, no laugh out loud moments, and it had Luna in it.

Sisterhooves Social- Worst episode, not only for the show, but one of the worst episodes I've seen for any cartoon. It was extremely bland, the "lesson" was unessesary, and it proved that Rarity was just a Selfish Whorse.

The Mysterious Mare Do Well- Felt like a show I would see on Nick, tbh. That pretty much says it all.

Secret of My Excess- Don't even remember it.

Hearth's Warming Eve- Boring.

Family Appreciation Day- Again, boring. Although it did spawn 2 funny things to use on TCR.

Read It and Weep- Bad lesson. No funneh moments. 

MMMystery on the Friendship Express- See TMMDW.

I felt slightly awkward on feeling pinkie keen too. Whilst it had good moments, I agree with what you say about them portraying twilight as the arrogant scientist. Whilst I'm not opposed to the idea of being open minded and not writing anything off, it went a bit far with it, and the episode became more of a "you can't excplain that" episode

 

The first 2 pilot episodes were also a bit too, it's hard to explain, but they were a bit off. Other than that, there aren't any really significant issues I have with any of the episodes

A lot of people don't like Feeling Pinkie Keen, for the same reasons you list. There were quite a few that I didn't enjoy the first time around in season 2, that I enjoyed when i went back and rewatched them later, like Baby Cakes, Cutie Pox, and Dragon Quest. I still consider them to be the worst of the season, but they are enjoyable. 

The pilot was pretty rough, and very bland, I find it hard to believe that I ever became a fan of the show after watching those two.

 The only episode I actively dislike is Mysterious Mare Do Well, for a myriad of different reasons, bad writing, every single pony acting out of character, hateful actions of the Mane 6, Dash at her absolute worst, cop out set pieces, etc.

I was actually kinda surprised to learn Feeling Pinkie Keen and Over A Barrel were so disliked. I didn't love them, and the latter was a pretty weak follow-up to Green Isn't Your Color (one of my favorite episodes of the series), but I still enjoyed them.

I've mentioned this before; Sweet and Elite. (S2 E9)
If they were aiming to create an episode that exposed all the worst flaws of one charachter and didn't have her give any meaningful apology, then job well done. It was honestly the only episode I've ever paused while watching to take a break from.

As for feeling pinkie keen, I felt a little meh about it first time I watched it too, but rewatching it now, it isn't that bad. Maybe because back then I thougt Pinkie Pie was maniac and now she is my favourite. :L
Though I see what you mean. It seems alot like Twilight is being fit into that roll.

There wasn't really an episode I disliked, but The Mysterious Mare Do Well was one of my least favorites. I didn't like how Dash was portrayed; the only time I ever disliked her, and she's one of my favorite ponies.

Feeling Pinkie Keen rubbed off the wrong way, for reasons others have previously mentioned.

Also, Look Before You Sleep and Baby Cakes were one of those episodes I don't regret watching, but wouldn't watch again.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I didn't like the first two episodes of Season 1. Some scenes were funny like Twilight meeting Fluttershy, but the story didn't entertain. I had to force myself to watch Part 2. Maybe I didn't like them because they were the last 2 episodes I watched, but I can't say for sure now.

They're enjoyable, but this show does much better with slice of life than it does with adventure.

I enjoy most of them but at some point I dislike 'May the best pet win'

It felt too predictable, just far too predictable.

I gotta say, MMMystery on the Friendship Express is the only episode that I considered closing the tab out while watching it. I didn't even do that for May the Best Pet Win, although that was on account of me being too shocked that I was actually disliking an episode. I kept holding out hope it'd turn itself around, but it never did.
