Worst television episodes of all time? - sitcoms/dramas/miniseries/you name it!

Full House - Michelle Rides Again (1995)

I submit instead the Full House Disney episode where Michelle wins a contest to be princess for a day.

She wins the contest because she cut in front of Stephanie, who should've won it. The episode is about how Stephanie needs to get over it and be happy for Michelle for taking her prize from her, even though Michelle acts like a giant brat and runs off when things don't go even more her way.
 
From the Sopranos:

'A Hit is a Hit', where the whole episode is spent on some wannabe gangster nigger rappers (who are all terribly written) and Chrissy getting into the music industry, and the whole thing just meanders and sucks, and none of the characters are brought up again (thankfully). The B plot is also Tony just taffing about with the Wonderbread wops and nothing really happening.

'Columbus', has a lot of really funny scenes but overall is a completely retarded episode about Italians and Natives beefing over Columbus day.

'Commendatori' is the characters fucking around in Naples, really boring.
 
Better Call Saul S6E13 'Saul Gone'
Saul gets himself sent to jail for what is basically a life sentence because he feels slightly bad for Kim.
It just didn't fit Sauls/Jimmys character at all, if anything he would have worked out a way to get off scott free and clear Kim's name at the same time. But no, Vince wanted the story to be about how crime doesn't pay so now Jimmy dies in prison. Nice ending stupid.

Probably the final episode of St. Elsewhere that reveals that the entire show was just happening inside an autistic childs head.

This ending actually doesn't make sense because they had a few crossover episodes with Cheers among other shows. These shows had a crossovers with other shows. Those shows had crossovers and so did those shows, and so on and so on.

This has created what people call the Tommy Westphall Theory that explains over 400 shows are actually in the mind of Tommy Westphall.

Many people have taken on the task to autistically chart how many shows this encompasses:

There's a bunch of completely forgettable subplots in a lot of South Park episodes that are gross Jewish shit and piss humor that get overlooked because they're next to some of the funniest stuff of all time, but Oprah's Minge stands out in memory as one of the absolute worst episodes. Jackovasaur was excruciating but it falls into avant garde because it's making fun of Jar Jar.
Those are two of the worst, but for my money, the episode "Pip" is the absolute nadir of South Park. The only saving grace it had was Malcolm McDowell as a British Person.

Apparently Paulie was supposed to be leading this episode, but his actor was busy, hence the otherwise mellow Sil taking the charge.

Not really an episode, but this reminds me how much of a waste Favio as a character was. He was brought in to be fierce muscle, the guy who does the things not even the bad guys would do. He did this once...and then he's reduced to pining after Carmella before going back to Italy. If it was all in one episode, then it still fits the thread.
 
The middle part of season 2 of Twin Peaks after Laura’s murder gets solved before the finale.
Sometimes when I recommend Twin Peaks to people I tell them this part is entirely skippable. Nothing plot-wise happens until the second to-last-episode and every character goes on some retarded side quest that feels like it drags on for years. It really fell apart without Lynch.
Completely forgiven though because The Return may be the best season of TV ever made.
 
The final episode of Jim Henson's dinosaurs where everyone dies. I knew the show was horribly preachy thinly veiled propaganda, but the last episode was the final fuck you to the audience.

The "A very special episode of" of TV shows. Every TV sitcom with a child/teen audience had to make some episode with whatever cause was popular in the 80's and 90's. Mr. Belevadere was one of the worst offender with episodes about child molestation, rape, drugs, death, homelessness, and pet over population.

Deep Space 9 decided in the end of the run the Fergengi were going become socialist and implement universal health care, labor unions and etc. The whole series carefully built up the image of their society as militantly capitalist, but a the last minute makes ROM their new leader. Star Trek the lower decks now has them as race of leftist cucks. When the ferengi are written by leftist jews as a self caricature of jewish talmudic business ethics they had to revert back to the mean to become plain old current day leftist hollywood space jews.
I think they had to speedrun the end of Dinosaurs because of funding issues....
 
The teenage drinking episode of DeGrassi that led up to Drake being crippled it featured his "friend" some retarded Canuk taking a liter...err sorry inbred canuck speak it's litre and a half bottle of coca-cola and pouring it INTO a bottle of Jack Daniels. I'm no rhodes scholar but wouldn't you want to pour the liquor into the bottle of cola because you're underage and wouldn't have to worry about getting caught and also the cola is the chaser no the other way around unless you're a raging alcoholic.
 
Season two of Goliath. The first season is a really compelling legal drama/ mystery with really well written characters and two good stories that are interwoven well. The second season exists solely to service an amputation fetish. It is absolutely unbelievable how quickly they drive the show off of a cliff into a volcano
 
Better Call Saul S6E13 'Saul Gone'

Yeah, it's nonsense. The entire show is about how a leopard doesnt change his spots so the idea that he'd destroy his plea deal for such a ridiculous reason is stupid. Kim doesnt gain anything from him being in prison for life.

Those are two of the worst, but for my money, the episode "Pip" is the absolute nadir of South Park. The only saving grace it had was Malcolm McDowell as a British Person.

It's a lot funnier if you were expected to slog through Great Expectations in high school freshman lit which I assume Matt and Trey were. I always found the episode endearing because of that.
 
Idk about worst television episodes I have ever seen because I don't typically watch a lot of TV, but there are some episodes I skip when I watch shows. Bones is a fantastically stupid but fun crime drama but I always skip the episode where they are identifying remains from a sunken slave ship and the black lady finds out she was related to one of them or something. Holy fucking cringe.
There's an episode of Scrubs where that Irish faggot Colin Farrell guests stars, and it's annoying as shit. There's also an episode of Scrubs where Mathew Perry guests stars and I've never watched friends but he has one of the most punchable fucking faces in media so I skip that one too. Oddly the episode with Courtney Cox is annoying, but she doesn't bother me quite as much as Perry even though she definitely already has the crazy botox eyes at that point.
Oh also the fly episode of breaking bad. Rian Johnson is a fucking hack.
 
Counterpart - a contemporary sci-fi drama that imagines a tunnel in Berlin connecting two parallel universes - had a strong first season. It also accidentally predicted a COVID-type pandemic. In the second season, the writers introduced a black female muslim, who served no purpose beyond conveniently checking three diversity boxes with one actor. The show got cancelled, deservedly so in my opinion. In the closing minutes of the final episode, when the focus should have been on tying up loose ends, they were still frantically developing her character.
