View Full Version : Least favorite episode
sodalake 04-28-2009, 07:26 PM Everyone talks about their favorite episodes, how about least favorite?
I didn't like the episode where Sophia is looking for a date in the classifieds and ends up that it is this couple that wants Sophia to take the wife's place because she is dying. The storyline was stupid and the actor playing Marvin (the husband) was a poor choice. He acted like he was mentally impaired. The whole thing just stunk! It is also the same episode where Ken Berry played Rose's former boyfriend that she couldn't remember.
For some reason that episode is one I finally extremely annoying and don't enjoy seeing it come up in the reruns. The only other episode I dont' really care for is when they do the Chicken Little play. I thought that was all silly.
phoebe7165 04-28-2009, 08:12 PM That's easy, the one where Blanche's overweight daughter comes to visit. As somebody who used to have a weight problem and have also heard all the fat jokes, I can't bear to watch this ep anymore.
browneyes106 04-29-2009, 12:54 AM ^I didn't like that episode either. I didn't like the episode where Rose dated the little person or the episode where Blanche got a pacemaker.
ratherbwatchinGG 04-29-2009, 11:29 AM I didn't like the 'Nice & Easy' episode with Blanche's niece. She comes to Miami to take an exam and dates several men in the meantime.
sodalake 04-30-2009, 10:55 AM While I don't mind watching it, I did think the 2 part episode with the hurricane was overly silly. First off the actress that played Gloria was totally wrong and having her sleep with Stan was stupid. Then you have Sophia acting like a country bumpkin saying "There's a hurricane a comin'" which was another example of how they were writing Sophia in a stupid silly kind of way--not like her spunky quick wit of the early years. Stan and the monkey on a traffic cone was beyond stupid.
OOliver 05-05-2009, 04:02 PM I agree - the hurricane episode was rather stupid. It seemed like the writers ran out of ideas and came up with this. Ecchhh!
The other one I never liked was when they participated in the dance marathon. Probably because you could easily see that it was not the actual actresses doing the 'stunt dancing' but other women in wigs (the Betty White one was awful).
McGillicuddy 05-06-2009, 05:17 PM My least favorite episode is Empty Nest, simply because the "girls" were not in this episode, except for the beginning. This was the original pilot for Empty Nest with a different cast.
stephaniear 05-07-2009, 08:55 AM I too didn't care for the hurricane episodes, I was very tired of looking at that stupid monkey and Sofia's shirt...

I can't imagine if they had done Empty Nest with that cast. Basically it would have been about a wife whining all the time because she was home alone and while her doctor husband was working. I'm glad they retooled it with a different cast.
DorothyZ ROCKS 05-12-2009, 05:28 AM I didn't like the "Empty Nest" episode either.
Ajax2006 05-12-2009, 05:54 PM I too disliked the "Empty Nest" pilot in an episode one either.I disliked the "Days and nights of Sophia Petrillo" as well,kinda boring.
champipple77 05-17-2009, 01:05 AM One of the ones I watched last night where Dorothy's son married the older black woman. It just seemed dumb, and not very funny at all.
stephaniear 05-18-2009, 01:00 PM I disagree, I loved that episode w/ Dorothy's son and the older black woman. I thought it was hilarious. But I guess that relationship didn't work, never heard anything else about it.
McGillicuddy 05-18-2009, 05:55 PM The part where the ladies were all around the kitchen table was hilarious especially when someone asked ...is it true what they say about black men, and Blanche piped up and said oh, yes!, or something like that.

I just saw that episode the other day. I thought it was a cute episode. The only episode I did not like was the Empty Nest episode. Thank God they changed it before Empty Nest came on the air.

The marriage was mentioned in a later episode. Michael come to visit Dorothy and she was upset because he was 30 and had no job. She eventually kicked Michael out and he moved in with Stan.
He mentioned that Lorraine throw him out and put his clothes in the car. He said, "Do you know what it is like to look for your underwear in the backstreet of the car??" Blanche said, "Tell me about it."
delawaregeek 08-10-2009, 02:34 AM I agree the Empty Nest episode was beyond awful and I wish they'd take it out of the GG's rotation. It's horrible. Another stupid episode was the pregnant teen one. I think I hate these two episodes because the plots don't revolve around them.
Rabdkitty1 08-10-2009, 09:40 AM While Sophia was not my favorite character, I've never disliked her as much as I did when Blanche's daughter came to visit. She spends a good five minutes insulting her and then suddenly she's concerned when the boyfriend does the same.
But I agree, the Empty Nest episode and the pregnant teen episode are skip-worthy.
maf8629 08-10-2009, 10:32 AM without a doubt the Empty Nest episode was my least favorite.
