Default Whats the worst episode of the Series?

I can't remember an episode that I thought was completely terrible, but what do you think?

I think everyone would agree on the spin off eps (except for Blair and Natalie). I think I remember the ep when Nat ran for Mayor was bad, but it has been so long I can't remember (I have to wait til the dvd comes out)

That mayor episode was pretty bad. I didn't like the two about taxes (season 2 and 8), Bryan and Slyvia, the one where blair finds out her mom is pregnant, the one in the hospital with Beverly Ann's ex husband and his wife (although Jo was hilarious), A Rose By Any Other Age, and a lot of others but I still love the show because of the episodes I do like.

A couple that I really don't like are "Sex Education", "Brian and Sylvia", "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can", "The Interview Show" and "62-Pick up".

"Brian and Sylvia" was very boring, especially since the girls were only in like 5% of the whole episiode.

Also...although the episode was not bad (actually I think Kim and Nancy were very good in it), I think the whole concept of "Starstruck" was stupid.

Well, I can't comment on any eps past season three yet, but...

All the spinoffs, with "Brian and Sylvia" being the worst.

"A Friend In Deed", if only because I couldn't get past the continuity issue of using one actress to play Blair's mom in the first season, and using another in the third season.

The reason as to why they had two actresses playing Blair's mother is because the first one was nothing but a 70s glamor television commercial model. She had no acting range and not a very interesting resume(very few movies)...the second actress, Marj Dusay, actually has an amazing acting career background and they kept her throughout most of the series' run.

I agree, I watched it one time and do not plan on ever watching it again. However, I do believe Richard Dean Anderson and Rosanne Katon are talented actors. I just wonder if Richard Dean Anderson regrets doing the FOL.

There are some other episodes like "Daddy's Girl" that are not really entertaining but they still are watchable and not as bad as "Brian and Sylvia."

I enjoyed Marj--I just wish she had been around the first season!

I've narrowed it down to four episodes that I can't tolerate to watch:
Molly's Holiday
Brian & Sylvia
Jazzbeau
The Agent

Even Though I Cannot Say I Dislike Any Eps, I Just Have To Rank Some On The Lower End.

FOR INSTANCE, When I Was Re-watching "the Agent", I Did Not Think That Guy Was Funny AT ALL! He Was Quite Annoying To Me. I Was Wondering, Why Are The Girls Laughing, AND SO HEARTEDLY AT TIMES? Do They Really Think He Is THAT Funny? Even Jo Could Have Made A Comment About Lameness Or Something. But Then I Thought, Oh Yea. These Girls Are Only Acting, And Man, Are They Ever Good!

Default worst episode?

I really didn't thin Bryan And Sylvia was all that bad, and I seriously doubt that Richard Dean Anderson regrets doing FOL, he's a really nice guy who did MacGuyver for 8 years! As for worst episode of FOL does anyone remember the talking Kangaroo from the last two seasons? Too weird.

ARE YOU REFERRING TO PIPPA, OR THE EPISODE WHERE NAT IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR, AND BLAIR DRESSES UP AS A KANGAROO? THAT WAS A MASCOTT FOR A THEME PARK, AND BLAIR CALLED NAT AND GAVE HER INSIDE INFO LIKE "DEEP THROAT". I THINK HER CODE NAME AS "SORE THREAT". I LIKED THE EP
