What is the single worst episode in the entire series

[TMC]

I'm going to use the Three's Company subreddit as a point of reference and only select one episode per season.

Season 8

• "The Heiress" and "Cupid Works Overtime" - I'm sure that people would immediately say that the two part series finale, "Friends and Lovers" should be the worst, but the prior two episodes that I mentioned set up and laid the groundwork for "Friends and Lovers" in the first place.

Season 7

• "Bob and Carol and Larry and Terri"

Season 6

• "Janet Wigs Out"

Season 5

• "Jack's Other Mother"

Season 4

• "Old Folks at Home"

Season 3

• "Chrissy and the Guru"

Season 2

• "Jack's Navy Pal"

Season 1

• "It's Only Money"

None of these are the worst episode IMHO. Janet Wigs Out is one of the worst ones though because the script is so bad it has to transform one of the characters into something they are not. My worst episodes are:

Look what I found - a rehash of season 1 episode
Janet Wigs Out - Janet turns into a sex vixen over a wig
Hair Today Gone tomorrow - Terri falls for Jack over a fake mustache
A Night Not To Remember - Jack is a jerk and a drunk, so out of character
Jack's Tattoo

If I would say any,its the overtime one......

But in reality it was a good show!!!!

My list for the weakest episode for each season. Some are not that bad...

season 1 "It's Only Money"
season 2 "Helen's Job"
season 3 "Triange Troubles"
season 4, "Secret Admirer"
season 5 "And Justice for Jack"
season 6 "Stranger's in the Night"
season 7 "The Apartment"
season 8 "Like Father, Like Son"

I've watched every episode of Three's Company at least 100 times each, over the last few decades. The only episode I never rewatch is season 8 "Like Father, Like Son". I don't find it funny at all.

Like Father Like son was going to be on that I listed too. I found his dad annoying. I also hate the Apartment too.
But I love Helen's job

Season 2 was a very strong season so there were a lot of good episodes. "Helen's Job" was an ok episode, but I felt the others were a little better.

I liked episodes that featured lots of Ropers. I think Helen's Rendezvous is hysterical and showcases Helen in slapstick comedy. When Helen runs to the bathroom to hide and peers out through the shower curtain at Stanley still makes me laugh out loud to this day and I've seen it a million times.
This is what made the show stay fresh. The lead in the scripts were not favored to any actor. The Ropers got a fair shot at being the center while everyone else played hysterical supporting roles.
The Days of weeds and beer is another example. The ending of that episode when Stanley throws a blob on Helen's flower arrangement is so freaking funny.

The worst of all is obviously "Bob and Carol, and Larry and Terri", a real sorry excuse to implement the misunderstandings of the show to force upon the viewer two no-name neighbors that lived in the same apartment building that we never saw before or heard from again.

My next runner up is any of the episodes that had Chrissy's father the reverend as a guest star.

[BuffaloBill]

My two cents worth. I would say Home Movies S2 E18, just dragged and story line just dumb.

[BestTVever]

I apologize to everyone for misunderstanding the thread. You were supposed to pick the worst episode from each season. I read these boards at 5 am so please excuse me.
I will have to get back with mine. I already listed my least favorites of the entire series.

Joyce DeWitt has flat out said that "Janet Wigs Out" is her least favorite episode. To add insult to injury, that was Jenilee Harrison's last appearance as Cindy Snow.

Yes, my least favorite episodes of any sitcom is when they make the characters we know and take them way out of their personality to create almost a new character for laughs.
Making Janet be a sex vixen over a wig was stupid. Janet would never do that and was the straight common sense one. Terri falling for a fake moustache was so insulting to her character.

I was shocked that this was Jenilee Harrison last episode. She was hilarious doing the "wist watch" routine at the Regal Beagle. The audience was howling with laughter.

It was the only good part of the episode.

I like Home Movies because we get to see Janet in a swimsuit.

I think the worst episode is Like Father Like Son.
That stupid song they do is really annoying.
