Least Favourite Episode(s) From the Classic Era

[starman]

Here are my least favourites (I'm not including Season 8 because the majority of that season's episodes are my least favourite):

- Season 3's, "Homer at the Bat"
- Season 6's, "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds"
- Season 4's, "Whacking Day"
- Season 5's, "The Boy Who Knew Too Much"

'Homer at the Bat' is a full-fledged Sport episode, and to be honest, I really don't like sport at all. A whole episode about something I don't like, with barely anything hilarious to keep me watching. In fact, I don't think there's any redeeming features.

'Two Dozen and One Greyhounds', I will admit, has some very funny jokes and scenes (the whole family staring with utter contempt at Snowball), but it has one of the worst plots of the classic era, and it feels way to Scully-erized.

'Whacking Day' is just an extremely silly episode, in my opinion. It has a stupid, stupid plot, and I don't recall finding anything in it particularly funny.

It's pretty much the same deal with 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much' - except I find this episode particularly annoying considering how good it could've been. I mean, a whole about one of the most unlikable characters I've ever seen punching someone for saying "Chowder" with an accent. ("Let's make an episode about it!! Hooray!!")

Agreed with you on "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds". That episode is funny but wacky.

The weakest of the classic era seasons is;

Season 3's "Homer Alone" and "When Flanders Failed",
Season 4's "Marge In Chains" and "So It Comes To This",
Season 5's "Homer The Vigilante" and "Homer Goes To College",
Season 6's "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" and "Fear of Flying",
Season 7's "Much Apu About Nothing*" and "Two Bad Neighbors" and
Season 8's "In Marge We Trust" and "The Canine Mutiny".

* I don't hate it, it's just the weakest of the season. It was very hard as the season's brilliant.

Out of the worst, it would go;

3 ) Two Dozen and One Greyhounds
2 ) When Flanders Failed
1 ) The Canine Mutiny

Yeah, "Much Apu About Nothing" is one my least favourites from Season 7. And I think "Homer Alone", "Marge in Chains", and "Fear of Flying" are excellent.
