Yet another....' Least Favorite...' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Cokies · 02-24-2001, 07:14 PM

Okay, I hate opinion polls but I don't think we've had one like this on this board. It's similiar to a topic awile back 'What do you hate most', but it's 'What is your Least Favorite Episode?'
And I mean the ones you really DONT like... and give the reasons why...

I'm not very good at remembering all the names of the episodes but here goes:

I hated the one where Nat goes to visit her boxer 'boyfriend' at the all boys academy. I also hated the episode that focused on Tootie's aunt who was married to the white guy. I didn't like the episode where Jo went to visit her cousins at their garage or the one where Natalie decides to move to Soho with all of those crazy people. The last episode with Blair buying Langley is also kinda weak. Any episode with Pippa, Cousin Geri or Kelly automatically scores negative points in my book. I also don't think I like the one tonight where MrsGarrett's nerdy son is fighting with his wife.

Any my least favorite of all time would be the Sexy Lingerie episode featuring El DeBarge!!!!Yuk! I also hated Cinnamon/Stacy Q and Jermaine Jackson! Unfortunately, these episodes will all be airing soon.

I think I can safely say that any episode that had a "special guest" or was filmed elsewhere other than Edna's Edibles or the kitchen, wasn't that good. The spin-off attempt shows I didn't much care for.

JoPol_wannabe · 02-24-2001, 08:14 PM

The episode where Edna's son Alex comes I did not like this episode because I thought it was kind of korny. I did like the poem Natalie read thought.

------------------
Nat: Alright I can't take criticism I never could even when I was a baby if people didn't laugh when I was being cute I would spit up

Let me put it this way!

FIRST SEASON!!!!!!!! FIRST SEASON!!!!!!! FIRST SEASON!

------------------
Andy: C'Mon Ms. Garrett, throw us a song.

Ms. G.: Born in the U.S.S.R.

I'm sorry, and you can definitely argue with me on this, but I hated the last two episodes. It was nice how Blair bought Eastland and saved it from going downhill, but it didn't seem like a real show finale. It seems as if the Eastland-students-of-1988 got more airtime than any of the other characters, *especially* Natalie, who I think was only in the first part and not even featured in the "final photograph" of the girls while Pippa was. (Not to have anything against Pippa sorta, but it's not the same when the picture's without Nat.) I know I'm carrying this long but the last two episodes were the worst.

------------------
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~
go MS VBall/Badminton, esp. #35!!

Tootie: There's gonna be trouble!!!!!!!

Natalie: I'm so brilliant it scares me!

80s' sitcoms 4-ever, especially Facts of Life!!

Mrs. G: Give me broccoli... or give me death!

i haven't seen them all but the one's i have seen i didn't like 'talk, talk, talk. i don't really have a reason besides i just didn't like it. and the one oe with Jermain Jackson. i think that antrum that Tootie through was just rediculous. it was stupid and pointless.

------------------
blair- another brilliant idea just popped into my head
jo- oh, don't scare it. it's a lonely place in there.

TVaddict · 02-24-2001, 10:04 PM

Any and all spin-off attempt episodes were awful. Especially "Brian and Sylvia." We saw the girls for like 15 seconds! The one where Molly's parents are getting divorced. (other than that the first season wasn't so terrible, although I much prefer the others) The Facts of Life Down Under, there was just nothing good going on there. And the one where Tootie goes to audition for Broadway, or basically either episode with Stacy Q. And I didn't really like the one where Natalie goes undercover in ROTC. That episode seemed more like an episode of Saved By the Bell than anything else. (don't get me wrong, I like SBTB but FOL is above that) So those are the ones I can think of right now.

ThomasE · 02-24-2001, 10:32 PM

I really disliked the Brian and Sylvia episode. Oh for the record, they did divorce in the long run.
-----------------------------------
Tootie: Uh Oh. Were in troubllllle
Natalie: You better make that a doublllle.

marymarat · 02-24-2001, 11:58 PM

I was never crazy about those attempted spin-offs' cause they barely showed the girls. Especially that one with,I think,Tooties aunt and her white hockey coach husband. Those two people couldn't act for beans. (I actually kinda like the dance at the military academy one cause the girls were in most of it)

Cokies · 02-25-2001, 12:11 AM

There's only one episode that I can't despise even more than the spring break episode from season 6. I hate that episode!
And there are powersuits everywhere, it's scary!

Michele35 · 02-25-2001, 12:30 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot about the spring break in Florida and the ROTC episodes...neither one of those were that great in my opinion. I could not even sit through FOL Down Under.

I agree with you guys that any attempted spinoff episodes or shows that took place outside of Eastland or the Shoppe were usually not as good. The exception was the shows that had the girls go to NY which were good except for the Stacey Q episode.

The hockey coach was Richard Dean Anderson, a pretty good and popular actor best known as MacGyver.. but he was probably better in an action/adventure show than a sitcom..

Mustang Mimi 04 · 02-25-2001, 01:11 AM

Well I can't think of all the ones that I don't like- generally if I don't like an episode it goes out of my mind until I realize its on again- then I'm all like oh not again. But I have to admit that I was yawning with the one with Mrs G's son in tonight's episode. I'm really glad they showed them in the order they did cause I was happy with the second episode- it was funny. I put some quotes from it on my signature. Well gotta
go- tootles!

------------------
Tootie: Can we sing?
Jo: Sing?
Tootie: That's what I do when I'm scared what do you do?
Jo: Slap people

Blair: A Warner is like a delicate soufle
Jo: Yeah light and empty

Nat: I'd rather be a happy magic marker than a skinny pencil

Blair: (Cliff's parents) live on a farm.
Tootie: A farm?
Jo: As in e-i-e-i-o?

Jo: Which one's the pig?
Tootie: That's predictable Jo, insulting Blair.
Jo: I wasn't insulting Blair, I
All: was insulting the pig!

Love The Facts Of Life · 02-25-2001, 03:02 PM

I hated Brain and Sylvia episode it was so boaring.

------------------
Jo:I don't know you got to admit:Force has some good points.
Blair:Jo's hoping to attend the Chuck Norris School Of Law.

Nat:Who wants to be a skiny pencil?I'd rather be a happy magic marker.

Ms.G:Girls!Will you tell me what's been going on here?
Nat:Group sleep walking?
Ms.G

gives that"Idon't believe you"look)
Blair:Well,you know the first day of school getting settled in and meeting new people....
Tootie:Yeah!!And now comes Miller time!
