Worst episode of your favorite TV shows?

[Bellsprout]

I remember doing best episode awhile back, now let's flip it, because there's plenty of episodes I don't like from some of my favorite shows.

House M.D.: Anything involving the season 3 Detective Tritter storyline. That just went on way too long and it wasn't all that interesting. It violated my cardinal rule of television: unless it's a series finale don't ever try to get me to believe you're going to kill your main character or throw your main character in jail.

30 Rock: "Pilot"
The Office: "Survivorman"
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: "The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Edition" (That episode inspired this thread)

Just about every episode of Season 4 of Prison Break.

Have to agree 100% on House, I hated that detective storyline.

Fringe has to be that horrendous musical episode.

I honestly think I tend to forget bad episodes of shows though, I can't really think of one right off the top of my head for the likes of Seinfeld, Scrubs, etc.

Have to agree with the House call. Great example.

Seinfeld: "The Dog"

When Jerry has to watch after the dog of the sick old man he met on an airplane. Horrible episode. Still better than most of the shows on TV, though.


*EDIT*
I'm gonna change this to the episode where Jerry is trying to ditch his annoying friend. The guy who cries in the coffee shop.

You really hated Always sunny extreme makeover that much that it inspired this thread. It wasn't one of the best episodes but I still found parts of it to be hilarious. I loved Dee's "Peggy Hill" style spanish when she was explaining the crazed mind of Frank.

Well. Ill just say it before anyone else does.
The episode of LOST where we learn about Jacks tatoos. Simply riveting televison.

I agree with the Office: "Survivorman" I just watched it last night and was expecting a lot more to happen to Michael in the woods.

I'm having a really hard time thinking of any episodes of Seinfeld.

The worst episode of Fresh Prince was when they did community service at Uncle Phil's and Aunt Vivian's first place.

Futurama: The Devils Hands are an Idle Plaything

Any Scrubs episode with Dani

Scrubs: Season 7 finale

The show was definitely rough its last three seasons on NBC, but this was the pinnacle. The supposed series finale was chronologically an episode from halfway through the season.

The Wire: Season 5 Episode 7

It was directed by Dominic West and was as close to the definition of a filler episode as The Wire got.

24: The story arc where Kim faces the cougar and Johny Drama

IIRC the other stories in those episodes were solid but Kim was awful.

That episode of Fringe this year that had the old time theme and no plot relevance was terrible. I had never been so mad after watching an episode of any show.

Saved By The Bell:

1) Zack Attack episode where Zack is dreaming they are a super popular band with Casey Kasem narrating it.

2) The episode where they play a game similar to Clue, and try to figure out the mystery killer in the hotel.

Those 2 episodes always play back to back when they come on early mornings and those are the only 2 episodes that I will skip completely. Absolutely loved that show as a kid and still watch it today

Re: Worst episode of your favorite TV shows?

amazingly for Seinfeld the season finale is right up there, but "The Deal" is probably my least favorite. That's where former lovers Jerry and Elaine set up ground rules for a purely physical relationship. Jerry and Elaine were former lovers but never during the show's run-for good reason-they had zero sexual chemistry.

ZACK ATTACK, ZACH ATTACK! You are right an absolute horrible episode! The band breaks up and they no longer are friends. You just knew they would get back together and be friends again and do reunion concert!
I actually liked the clue episode.

The Lost Season 6 episode that was only about Jacob and MIB. Could have been done in half the time.
