Brady Bunch:

The Kelly Kid's episode is a channel switcher for me.

The one where Robert Reed and Florence Henderson dress up as Grandma and Grandpa and the kid's try to set them up is stupid.

Another one I switch quickly is where Peter Brady runs into his double and they pull the switch on the parents.

Not a fan of same actor playing dual roles unless it is Samantha and Serena on Bewitched !

Andy Griffith:

Hate the episode "The Senior Trip".... also not a fan of the one where Ken Berry brings the Italian family to his house.

Help me think of some more. These I remember off the top of my head.

I liked What's Happening but hated the Talent Show episode. I liked Happy Days, but lost interest when Richie and Ralph left the show. Good Times I really liked, until they killed off James. The the 4th season was acceptable and the rest were painful to watch.

I like Everybody Loves Raymond a lot, but I cannot stand episodes where his wife just goes all psycho on him, it annoys the hell out of me. I mean Ray does stuff wrong, but she just goes overboard sometimes.

I hate the one on Full House when Michelle and the twins fight with each other over a wrecked toy. The ending was cheesier than a large Pizza Hut pizza!!!

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

the one episode where she's the magician's assistant, i've seen it way to many times to find it cute anymore

All the Bewitched episodes with no Darrin (before DY officially left). Some of the DS episodes were OK, but by that point the show was recycling scripts left and right. It didn't help that EM and DS had no chemistry whatsoever. Once the 5th season comes to DVD, I'm stopping there.

Funny you should mention that, Monika, because I was going to ask you if you planned to buy all 8 seasons. Something tells me Seasons 6-8 will not sell nearly as well as the first five.

Brian and Sylvia or any attempted spin-offs on FOL.

Ditto that. How about "Jo's Cousin"? As good an actress as Megan Follows is, that ep just made me cringe.

freshprinceofLA · 05-12-2007, 02:53 PM

on who's the boss? there was an episode called charmed lives. Fran dechester from the nanny was on there it was horrible!!!

88survivor · 05-13-2007, 08:51 AM

I love all the CIC episodes, but can't stand the attempted spin off ideas when they were not going to have one at all, such as:

Fair Exchange
Almost Family
Lost Resort

I hate when some of my favorite shows do this a lot because it ruins the flow of the show's run. They did it with Welcome Back, Kotter. They did with The Brady Bunch with Kelly's Kids. It is just one of those "viewers don't care about these unimportant characters that have nothing to offer and yet you writers stick them on a silver platter for us to suffer through" syndrome. Sorry. End of rant.

There are a number of "All In The Family" episodes I tune out because their subject matter offended me deeply. Episodes that serve as a blatant soapbox for Meathead's atheism (like Season 6's "Little Atheist") don't get play on my DVD, nor will when it comes out later, the even more repulsive "Draft Dodger" Christmas episode.

88survivor · 05-13-2007, 04:25 PM

There was a weak attempted episode in Diff'rent Strokes that only showcased a bunch of colleagues. Nothing more...only showed the cast for like 5 minutes tops.

ChanandMon · 05-13-2007, 06:26 PM

I hate R/R centered episodes on Friends. Boring.

EmoJoe · 05-13-2007, 07:20 PM

Who's the Boss - Living Dolls and Charmed Lives, the two attempted spin-offs. Also, most of the Billy episodes, except for Who's Minding the Kid? and Party Politics. The Unsinkable Tony Micelli = the worst non-spin off WTB episode.

MADtv - Episode #7-05...it didn't have one good sketch. most Season 7 episodes sucked anyway. #7-16 is the same.
