Just doing Buffy for now

s1: Teacher's Pet (I actually think this season is very strong, and I don't really dislike this episode, it's just my least favorite of the bunch)

s2: When She Was Bad (this is not the weakest episode of s2, far from it, but as a starter episode, I didn't like it much as I should have and it was too forgettable. It's stronger than episodes like Go Fish, Reptile Boy, Inca Mummy Girl or Ted, but those four episode have at least one moment that makes me enjoy the episode a lot. Like in Go Fish, I just love the Cordy/Xander plot, and in Inca Mummy Girl, I just really like the Oz and Willow bits)

s3: Dead Man's Party (for the same reason as thetopher and Lyri)

s4: The I in Team (honestly, I love this season but it has a LOT of weak episodes in comparison to the other seasons, and I couldn't really find a clear winner for my least favorite episode. The I in Team is actually probably not my least favorite, but when thinking about it, I don't even remember that episode, I actually had to look it up to see what went on. Conclusion, the only thing I enjoyed was the Twillow stuff and the ending, which is not enough to make it memorable. Runner ups were Living Condition, the Freshman, Goodbye Iowa, but at least I could remember what those episodes were about. I might go re-watch this one now, maybe after I remember I'll change my mind)

s5: Into the Woods (at least Riley leaves, yay!)

s6: As you Were

s7: First Date
 
S1: Witch
S2: Go Fish
S3: Gingerbread
S4: Beer Bad
S5: Triangle
S6: Flooded
S7: First Date
 
Season 1: Teacher's Pet
Season 2: Bad eggs
Season 3: Dead Man's Party
Season 4: Beer Bad
Season 5: Real Me
Season 6: As You Were
Season 7: First Date
 
Might do ATS later, because well, it's the type of show where if you pick an episode out, I've seen it 15 times or i've only seen the first twenty minutes 😛

But for BTVS I can do, I know every episode quite well.

Season One: Teacher's Pet. it's well, off putting? Not one that makes me want to watch and have a good time (say The Witch or The Puppet Show). It does have the golden S1 dialogue though.

Season Two: Ah, the hell of MOTW was at it's peak at Season Two I found. Go Fish. Just, ew and besides Willow and Buffy with the popcorn and when Cordelia tries to talk to what she thinks is fish xander, it is an episode i tend to skip. I wouldn't say I dislike it, just don't care for it much and I find it weak.

Season Three: The twist- happy writing of Enemies and Earshot felt like slaps in the face. Enemies at least as Faith and The Mayor, so I'm gonna go with Earshot. Extremely boring and tedious Buffy and Angel scenes, a phony speech and what comes across as excusing of apathy and power structures.

Season Four: I really love this season. Like, really love it. It's amazing and entertaining. So I guess Superstar. I tend to skip it.

Season Five: Favourite season, alot of great episodes, but Out Of My Mind- at that point of the series, I couldn't endure any more 'OMG SPIKE AND HIS CHIP' plotlines.

Season Six: Wrecked. Cringe worthy. This article is worth a read, that perfectly mocks it: http://www.boilsandblindingtorment.com/Wrecked.htm

Season Seven: Get It Done. Just... no.

''It's me, Cordelia? I know you can't answer me, but... God, this is all my fault. You joined the swim team to impress me. You were so courageous. And you looked really hot in those Speedo's'' lol great reminder! :)
Buffy:
S1 - The Pack
S2 - The Dark Age
S3 - Enemies
S4 - The I in Team
S5 - The Replacement
S6 - Wrecked
S7 - Empty Places

Angel:
S1 - The Bachelor Party
S2 - Untouched
S3 - Carpe Noctem
S4 - Players
S5 - Why We Fight
 
Buffy

1: I Robot, You Jane

2: When She Was Bad

3: Dead Mans Party

4: Restless (I know, it's a "classic". I don't like dream sequences. It would have been Where the Wild Things Are because, you know, gross, but the bits that don't involve Buffy & Riley are good)

5: Listening to Fear

6: Normal Again (I hate the idea that Buffy is really just insane & in a hospital dreaming it all up)

7: Empty Places (Everyone chose to follow Faith over Buffy? Made me SO angry)
 
Buffy (most of these are from memory, haven't seen Seasons 5-7 in a while, so in those cases, it's the episodes I remember enjoying the least):

Season 1: Witch
Season 2: Bad Eggs
Season 3: Anne
Season 4: Superstar
Season 5: I Was Made To Love You (asides from the ending leading into The Body)
Season 6: As You Were
Season 7: Him

Angel:

Season 1: She
Season 2: Disharmony
Season 3: Billy
Season 4: Inside Out (Although all the Cordelia/Connor scenes are by far the worst aspect of the season, this one was the episode that I disliked most due to Skip's claim that most the events up until now were planned by Jasmine)
Season 5: The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco
 
BtVS

Season 1 - Probably I Robot, You Jane. It's dull and Moloch was kind of a weak villian.
Season 2 - Bad Eggs. What was up with that episode? Weird and un-engaging.
Season 3 - Beauty & The Beasts. Awful message, full of victim-blaming and I don't enjoy watching a guy beat the ever living crap out of his girlfriend.
Season 4 - Beer Bad. No further explanation needed.
Season 5 - A tie between Listening To Fear and Into The Woods. I felt like the season kind of stumbled with those two, plus I hated the way in which Riley left.
Season 6 - Any number of episodes, really, I am not fond of Season 6. Really, the only eps I truly love in that Season are OMWF, Tabula Rasa, Life Serial and the Dark Willow arc.
Season 7 - Another very weak season and I really only love the first few episodes (basically the ones that don't focus on Spike or the Potentials).

AtS

Season 1 - Sense & Sensitivity. Funny in parts but overall very dull.
Season 2 - Happy Anniversary. It's such a filler episode and the plot is very un-engaging.
Season 3 - Billy. What was the point of that episode, really?
Season 4 - All the Jasmine episodes. Just can't stand them or her as a villain.
Season 5 - Why We Fight. Un-engaging plot and a weak villain.
 
Where The Wild Things Are simply because I can just never get through it. It's just boring and kind of uncomfortable.

And Normal Again just because I think it was one of the most pointless concepts. Let's make everyone wonder if the occurrences inside this fictional world are actually extra-fictional. Hoorah!

Yup. Really don't like either of those.
I have two episodes that I consider unwatchable and repellent:

Ted

The viciousness that Ted shows to Buffy and being cast adrift by her mother is something that I don't consider to be entertainment, even if the plot is solid and the acting is good.

Normal Again

The whole concept of a supernatural show is the suspension of disbelief, and this episode blows it away. It appears that we are just as deluded as Buffy for wasting our time on this show. Even though the plot points are nicely covered (Buffy getting some demon venom on her that changes her perception of reality), it really convinces me that the show is ridiculous and the product of a state of mental incapacitation when I am watching this episode.

Totally agree dude, but that's why I dig Normal Again. It's the ultimate post-modern episode. I guess it's also the ultimate marmite episode.
The only episodes I can think of in Buffy were
I, Robot, You Jane and Bad Eggs. For Angel, definitely She, The House Always Wins and The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco.
 
The last four Eps of S5 of Buffy were so bad in my opinion, I actually had them replaced. But, as far as episodes I accept, but don't like, here are the main ones:

1 Beer Bad
2 All Dawn-centric episodes
3 Doublemeat Palace
4 Teacher's Pet
5 Some Assembly Required
6 Living Conditions
7 Wrecked
 
Although I like all the episodes... these are the episodes I like the least 🙂

S1 - I Robot... You Jane - no reason really. I like all episodes in the first season.
S2 - Ted - don't like Ted.
S3 - Dead Man's Party - I found it very annoying somehow...
S4 - Superstar - I thought it was boring.
S5 - I Was Made To Love You - good episode, but anything having to do with Warren makes me sick.
S6 - As You Were - I liked Riley, but he shouldn't have come back.
S7 - Empty Places - it's a good episode, but I HATE the way they treat Buffy. Makes me SO MAD!!!!!
 
Buffy
s1: I Robot...You Jane-stupid plot and stupid demon
s2: Some Assembly Required or Inca Mummy Girl, I don't like them for different reasons.
s3: Gingerbread- Very boring, I'd rather watch Dead Man's Party
s4: Beer Bad- It's just bad. Where the Wild Things are at least has some funny Anys/Spike moments.
s5: The Weight of the World- Very tough as I don't like much of season 5
s6: Afterlife- I like s6 much more than 5
s7: Him- But most of season 7 is not any better

There are a lot of Angel episodes that I don't like, especially in season 1 and the end of s3

Beer Bad is an embarrassment to the series.
