Most Overrated Episodes

What are the show's most overrated episodes in your opinion? Ones that aren't necessarily bad but get more praise than you think they deserve. Some for me:

You, Murderer - Silly and gimmicky. It's not even the real Bogart and something about using a digital double and a voice impersonator just doesn't work. I get he'd been dead when this episode was made but it reeked of a silly gimmick to me. Plus it's not that entertaining to watch and it's unfortunate to see good actors like John Lithgow wasted in this.

Death Of Some Salesmen - Tim Curry is great as always and there's some amusing moments, but this just doesn't do it for me overall.

Four-Sided Triangle - Not bad but nothing special, either. IMO one of the lesser episodes of the otherwise excellent second season.

Not sure about overrated but I don't care for Lover come hack me or Three's a crowd. Just a little too dark for my taste.

Yellow, Three's a Crowd, and Cutting Cards are all great, but I don't find them quite as enjoyable as most other fans do. Not really overrated per se, just seems like they overshadow other episodes that I consider superior.
