Worst Fawlty tower episode


This is an excellent series but I think there were one or two of them lacking.
My least favorite is the anniversary what about yours.

The Anniversary, closely followed by Basil the Rat.

The Anniversary is a very flimsy premise to hang an episode on and as a result is drawn out, unbelievable and not very funny.

"Worthington, we're being attacked by giant bats!"

Waldorf Salad. Can't stand the American in it, and Manuel hardly appears. That's not good. It's one episode I never rewatch. Not a big fan of The Anniversary either but I did find Polly pretending to be Sybill funny.

well, i have to skip the episode with the whole deal about the lady with the dog, i don't remember if any harm ever did happen to the dog but i can't be dealing with animal cruelty, same thing with an early episode of "married with children", i always skip the episode where al, spoiler, accidentally shoots steve and marcy's guard dog, by the way, this is like britain's version of married with children, a lot of similarity between basil fawlty and al bundy. speaking of scenes like these, this is part of the story in several "national lampoons vacation" movies as well.

jolly and warm,
everywhere i go,
when i come home,
feel like about an inch tall,
met by a cynical expression and stone cold.

The Builders was my least favorite episode. I liked all the other ones though.

Over on IMDb, 5 episodes are tied for lowest, but at 8.4! That is hardly bad at all. This series has no bad episode, much less worst.

The very first one, ‘A Touch of Class’. It’s still mostly great, but the show was finding its footing.

Waldorf Salad.
