What are everyones 5 least favorite episodes, in order?

angel676 · 08-08-2002, 04:33 AM

This was kind of easy and hard, but I'm willing to bet that the first one that's
listed, most people will agree.
1) Empty Nests -> pilot ep. for Empty Nest.
2) Mary Has a Little Lamb
3) Comedy of Errors
4) Journey to the Center of Attention
5) Fiddler on the Ropes

I only have 2 episodes I really don't like. One is the "Empty Nest" one that I know a lot of fans don't like, and the other is the GG pilot episode. I just think the gay cook didn't belong and I'm glad they got rid of him.

I don't know episode titles, so I'll just do descriptions...

1. The Empty Nest pilot.
2. The episode where Sophia and Dorothy go to Disney to relive memories.
3. Stan and Dorothy inherit an apartment building

Really... they aren't bad episodes. They are just ones that I'm over. I know so many of them, I still watch them when they are on...

I can only partially answer this question. The reason is that up until two months ago, I was seeing the same episodes over and over again. Those episodes were from years 5 to 7. I have seen some of the later episodes many, many times this past year.

For some reason, the network which carries the Golden Girls in Canada (Prime TV) did not show years 1 to 4, until June. I have seen these episodes when they were on originally, but only am seeing them again, now.

A few of the episodes I did not like:

1. The Triangle. An early episode. Dorothy, a character I did like as the series went on, I did not like in this episode. Dorothy dates a doctor, who makes a pass at Blanche, and when Blanche tells Dorothy, Dorothy was very cruel to Blanche, not believing her. You could tell this was an early episode, because as the series went on, Dorothy would believe Blanche, after all, the Golden Girls is about their friendship.

2. An episode from the second season, where Blanche gets Dorothy a job at the museum. This episode is too serious, not at all funny. Dorothy is given a job that Blanche always used to do, planning a party, and Blanche thinks Dorothy is stabbing her in the back. The party Dorothy is planning is actually a surprise party for Blanche.

3. Three on a Couch. The episode where the roomates go see a therapist, because after five years living together, they are getting on each other's nerve. That episode was shown in year 3.

Here are mine:

1. The Empty Nest Pilot
2. "From Here To Pharmacy" - When the soldier comes back to date Blanche again.
3. The one where Dorothy gets a job at the Museum.
4. "Vacation" When they go to the Caribbean.
5. "Pilot" Coco didn't fit in at all!

What was up with that one where the red-haired woman needed advice from the Girls on her marriage to Geroge? I HATED THAT EPPIE!!!!! It had absolutely nothing to do with the Golden Girls at all! GRRRRRR my butt...

That was the pilot to "Empty Nest" which has been listed here several times. Almost every fan dislikes it.

It sucked to me, I can't speak for everyone else, but the reason I thought
it sucked was because Sophia, Blanche, Dorothy and Rose were hardly seen in that episode. They were seen for about 2 or 3
minutes and that was at the very beginning of the episode.

I'm glad Empty Nest turned out to be a way funnier show than that awful pilot they did. I think because Dreyfuss was missing from the Empty Nest pilot, he was half the hilarity on that show.

There are a few GG eps that annoy me...

1.The mother's day look back episode
2.Henny Penny
3.The episode where Blanche is mentally abused by that guy
4.The one where they win the lottery and lose the ticket

Dianne3 · 08-15-2002, 12:07 PM

I forgot about the episode, where Blanche is mentally abused by her boyfriend. Boy, did I hate that episode. Blanche seemed desperate to please that loser, and was making excuses for his behavior.
