In your opinion, what are the worst episodes of the series?

I love them all because they ALL have special/funny moments but there are a few that I'm not all that fond of:

"Double Standard" (season 1)
"Mama's Boyfriend" (season 1)
"Naomi and the Stork" (season 2)
"Ellen's Boyfriend" (season 2)
"Mama Cries Uncle" (season 2)
"Birthright" (season 3)
"Flounder's Day" (season 4)
"Pomp and Circumstance" (season 4)
"My Mama, Myself" (season 5)
"Mama In One" (season 5)
"There's No Place Like...No Place" (season 5)
"Reading the Riot Act" (season 5)
"The Big Nap" (season 6)

Like you, I love them all but the weakest ones/least favorites are probably:

Mama Cries Uncle
Workman's Holiday
Mama Goes Hawaiian
My Mama. Myself *
The Big Nap *

*the ones without a studio audience always felt a little "off" to me.

I figured since we are talking about worst/least fav season what is are some fans fav seasons mine in season 4 i think it's the best most funny consistent season although i love all the seasons my least favorite season is season 3.

It's tough to pick just one favorite season. I love them all but season 5 is probably my absolute favorite followed by seasons 4, 3, 6, 2, & 1.

IMO, seasons 1 & 2 are the weakest links of the series but even those aren't bad. I still get a lot of amusement from them and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

"My Mama, Myself", are you guys kidding me? lol This is a hilarious episode, and a brilliant way to work in Grandma Crowley (in her 2nd and final appearance of the series). This is definitely one of my top faves.

By the way, a "worst/least favorite" thread on New Year's Day? Now that's a Mama way to ring in the new year!

I didn't used to like the episode "Mama's Girls" but it's actually grew on me now. I'm not sure why but because Aunt Effie is in it might be why I now like it. She was always one of my favorite characters. She should've been in more episodes!

One episode I hate with a passion was the one where Mama vowed to be generous after she had an accident. The family guilted her into letting them use some of her stuff: sewing machine, a car, a recipe for fudge and some mail order junk. Well right when things go wrong for the family, EVERYBODY blamed Mama for their troubles- I was so mad I practically yelled at the TV. The family made me so mad I refuse to watch this episode.

I am not fond of The Big Nap. It seems to go on forever and is too slow for my taste.

I'm not fond of the one where Vint takes Mama's silver for Claude.

Yeah .I didn't care for that one either!

Two of the funniest so far that METV have shown, was Mama working at the travel agency! (Mr. Woodman from WBK as her boss)

And the one when Naomi and Vint went on their second honeymoon, and Mama shows up at the hotel door and ends up staying with them!

"Child's Play" is my least favorite

Those are 2 of my absolute favorite episodes.

"Mama Gets a Job" and "No Room at the Inn"

I love when Mama starts watching the western porn!!! LOL

I found that episode weird. I hated Eugene and I was glad when he was slapped. He deserved it.
