Episodes with the lowest production values?

[RetroGuy2000]

Now that we've discussed expensive episodes, let's talk about cheap episodes. Episodes where the girls don't leave the cafeteria/store/store (bottle episodes), episodes where the production feels cheap with flimsy sets, or where they substitute royalty-free music for music they'd actually have to pay for.

Brian and Sylvia. That TV studio looks like what you would see in a high school play in Kansas City, Kansas.

Yeah, that set was chintzy.

Brian and Sylvia is the least-liked episode of all time, according to IMDb.

In "Take My Finals, please" the girls were in their room for the entire episode

It's true: an absolute bottle episode. Yet I feel like that episode worked. I believe it's the highest-rated episode on IMDb.

A bottled bottle episode

It's my favorite, there are several lines I really love

"AU, gimme back my watch"

"I'm working at half wattage now"

Yep! Two hilarious lines from a hilarious episode!

After all, lowest production values doesn't equal lowest quality.

I don't hate it but I don't like when a guest star takes time away from our Facts girls

I like it when the guest star is a good fit.


I think I would agree that Take My Finals, Please! may have the lowest production values. They only had to light one set, and there were no guest stars. However, there was all that snack food and the pizza that the girls ate which had to be purchased! lol

"C'mahn, it's got everything on it!"

Pizza was the guest star of that week

Yeah, even with the pizza and snack food, a "bottle episode" is going to be way cheaper than an episode where they actually leave the room. aside from the pizza and snacks, let's see... there was a clock and a hat.

I bet you agree with me that pizza was a more interesting guest star than Jermaine Jackson
