Spider-Man “Rocket Racer”
Saturday Morning Glory Episode #3
Posted Feb 27 2011 by Ryan Lohner

“Hey, kids, remember when Ryan wrote about ‘The Spot’, the second-worst episode of Spider-Man, the cartoon that ran on FOX Kids back in the ‘90s? Well, you’re in luck, because this time around, he looks at the worst episode of the series, ‘Rocket Racer’!

“In it, a whiny kid gets his hands on a rocket-powered skateboard and decides to turn to a life of crime, but ends up being too much of a pussy to follow through on it. Eventually, he helps Spider-Man defeat his lamest villain ever, a guy riding around in a giant wheel. Featuring the voices of big names like Mark Hamill, Telma Hopkins, and, um, C.B. Barnes, ‘Rocket Racer’ is an episode you won’t forget... for at least two, maybe three minutes.”

Are You Afraid of the Dark? “The Tale of the Final Wish”
Posted Oct 12 2010 by R.G. Quimby

“I effing loved this one when I was a kid, mostly because it had a certain Mr. Bobcat Goldthwait as the villain. As a wee girl, I was kind of obsessed with the Police Academy movies, so much so that I used to host little mini-marathons. Unsurprisingly, I was usually the only one in attendance, save for my favorite stuffed animals. Later, Cheer Bear and the rest of the Care Bears would begin to make excuses not to attend my Policy Academy parties, so, you know...”

Spider-Man “The Spot”
Posted Aug 1 2010 by Ryan Lohner

“Season three contains what just about every fan agrees are the two worst episodes of the series: ‘The Rocket Racer’ and ‘The Spot’. In fact, there was a debate for a while over which was the worse episode. My vote always went to ‘The Spot’, because ‘Rocket Racer’ may have been centered on a dull character and even duller villains, but at least that character wasn’t intensely annoying, and there were no gaping plot holes that I could see instantly, even as a kid.”

Baywatch “War of Nerves”
Posted Jul 19 2010 by Martini Shark

“Sato pitches knives at a newspaper article covering the crime that sent him away. This strikes me as odd. Do criminals actually clip out news items from the low points in their careers? Sometimes I think back to that time I was mugged by a Girl Scout leader/meth-tweaker at a Chuck E. Cheese years back, and I promise you, that newspaper article is not in any of my scrapbooks.”

Are You Afraid of the Dark? “The Tale of the Dark Dragon”
Posted Jul 13 2010 by R.G. Quimby

“Bear with me here; the protagonist doesn’t start out hot, nor does he stay that way throughout the entire episode. But it’s those little bits of magical, bad-assed hotness that really make this episode shine. It’s like when Anakin Skywalker finally turned bad—he was extra hot because you had to wait a little while for it to happen.”

Are You Afraid of the Dark? “The Tale of the Long-Ago Locket”
Posted May 20 2010 by R.G. Quimby

“April takes the whole ‘ghost knife magically changing before her eyes’ thing in stride and is only mildly amazed. I guess she would have been more impressed by better CGI, but dammit, we’re on a budget here, okay, April? Yeesh.”

Tales from the Crypt “Dead Wait”
Posted May 14 2010 by Ed Harris

“Lesson #1 when dealing with a James Remar character: Don’t piss the guy off. Chances are he has a gun and is one can short of a six pack.”

Full House “The House Meets the Mouse (Part I)”
Posted May 12 2010 by Sarah O.

“D.J. shoves a knife into Stephanie’s already pulsating open wound by saying, ‘Isn’t it incredible, Steph? Our little sister’s going to have all her dreams come true!’ And Steph’s like, ‘Yeah bitch, ‘cuz that never happens.’”

Are You Afraid of the Dark? “The Tale of the Vacant Lot”
Posted May 3 2010 by R.G. Quimby

“The lady tells Kat she has ‘just what you need’, and offers her a pair of running shoes that will help her ‘fly like you’ve never flown before!’ What, do the shoes have a secret compartment where she can hide her meth or something?”

Doctor Who (1996)
Posted Apr 20 2010 by The Wily Badger

“So, basically, in the first minute of the movie we’ve managed to see seven rather stupid mistakes that are guaranteed to annoy most fans of the original series. Well done! It’s seldom a movie manages to have that many problems in such a short span of time. That’s one stupid mistake about every eight seconds! I am impressed.”

Tales from the Crypt “Cutting Cards”
Posted Apr 8 2010 by Ed Harris

“Reno gets pissed, and suggests a round of Russian Roulette, and as luck would have it, Sam has a .44 in his car. Yep, I’d say they’re in Texas alright.”

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles “Rust Never Sleeps”
Posted Apr 5 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“Guys, the French hate the Eiffel Tower. The average Parisian thinks it’s an eyesore. Guy de Maupassant used to eat at their restaurant every day just so he wouldn’t have to look at the damn thing! If you collapse it, they’ll probably send you a gift basket.”

The New Batman Adventures “The Demon Within”
Posted Mar 22 2010 by Albert

“What would be the point of introducing silly things like magic and witches into a Batman story? Because it’s already taking a lot of my willful suspension of disbelief just to accept the idea of a mentally unbalanced billionaire dressing up like a bat and fighting violent criminals without bothering to carry a gun.”

Human Target “Pilot”
Posted Feb 21 2010 by Albert

“So I’m sure you’ve heard FOX’s new show isn’t the first attempt to adapt the Human Target into a weekly primetime series. And if you haven’t, well, now you have. And who says this site is useless?”

The New Batman Adventures “Critters”
Posted Jan 21 2010 by Ed Harris

“I get the sense that Farmer Brown won’t be threatening Joker for the spot of top dog in Arkham once Batman nails his ass to a wall.”

Baywatch “Mirror, Mirror”
Posted Jan 12 2010 by Albert

“Okay, this episode is already turning into bad fanfic written by a bored housewife in love with David Hasselhoff.”

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Meridian”
Posted Sep 29 2008 by Ed Harris

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

"Yep, a Star Trek episode is going for a lighthearted tone, which can only mean one thing: Deep hurting… deep hurting!"

Cop Rock: "Let's Be Careful Out There"
Posted Jul 22 2008 by Jordon Davis

In the wealthiest nation on earth. At the end of an era. When heroes had all but vanished. And the world waited for change. Television brought us greatness. One show made us all believers again. That show was Seinfeld. This is Cop Rock. It was horrible.

Star Trek: Voyager “The Fight”
Posted Mar 23 2008 by Mark M. Meysenburg

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

"If you listen carefully, you'll hear the thud as this episode hits the canvas."

Star Trek: Voyager “Threshold”
Posted Sep 27 2006 by Albert

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

"Brannon Braga calls this one 'a royal, steaming stinker'. And when the guy who wrote the episode says that, it's pretty hard to disagree."

Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
Posted Jun 4 2006 by Albert

“This movie is a Part 4. And with very few exceptions, franchises that last all the way to a fourth installment end up scraping the bottom of the cinematic barrel. And when it comes to horror franchises in particular, there's a tendency to continue on even after hitting bottom, and using the shredded, shattered remnants of the cinematic barrel itself to make at least three more shitty sequels after that.”

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Let He Who Is Without Sin...”
Posted Oct 18 2005 by Albert

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

"Let it be known that I will be casting the first stone. Directly at Worf's head."

Star Trek: The Next Generation “Sub Rosa”
Posted Oct 19 2003 by Albert

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

"The guys who wrote that Hallmark card called. They'd like their crappy poetry back now."

Dean Koontz's Mr. Murder (1998)
Posted Apr 5 2002 by Albert

"You know you're in for some quality entertainment when the guy who played 'Lowell' on the sitcom Wings is supposed to be the heavy."
