There’s always one you can't face revisiting.

Next episode? Don’t mind if I do.

The pleasure of rewatching a TV show is in shedding the responsibility of choice and submitting to the lazy river of an old favorite. Bob along its waters, allowing the current to pull you through the awkward early episodes, scandalous cast departures, writers’ strike half-season, all the way to the end – and then, why not? Start all over again. No pressure to choose. No burden of achievement. Just familiarity and comfort. Bob. Bob. Bob.

Until! An episode on the horizon threatens to interrupt your flow. If you just let it happen, you’d be pulled out of your reverie for a full 22 or – worse – 48 minutes. Perhaps it’s bad, or uncomfortable, or has unpleasant associations, or simply makes you feel too much. Either way, you skip it every time. Here are our writers’ nominations.

Horrible episode. I'd never watch it again.

Also the Everybody Loves Raymond episode with the bratty kid. I generally can't stand those kinds of scripts. I know Lucy had one, too, as well as Mama's Family.

The Christmas episode of ALF where he visits the sick girl in the hospital and The Final Episode of ALF when he leaves the Tanners. The first one is horrible and not a bit funny and the finale is too sad for me so I skip it.
