Your #1 least favorite episode?

Other than the intro -- which I love -- "The Mighty Casey" is an ordeal on par with "The Bard" ( the only reason I don't rank it lower than "The Bard" is because of "The Bard"'s length and the fact that Jack Weston makes for a much more irritating lead than Jack Warden ... but that slide whistle in "Casey" is so intrusive and awful that -- who knows? -- I may one day decide "Casey" sucks even more).

Great answer. It's considered one of the best episodes and I never have the urge to watch it if it's on.

I first thought Sounds and Silences was the one where the dude cut his own vocal cords to win a bet by permanently ensuring his silence..

Now I know which it is, and I skip that one as well. I've never been a fan of John McGiver either.

I think it comes down to re-watchability. Pretty much every TZ was at least decent on first viewing, it's after we've all seen them a dozen or more times where our "do not watch" list develops.

I've seen Sounds and Silences maybe three times tops because it's not very good in repeat viewings.
