what do you think is the worst episode of the show?


I always hated the episode where the guy injects a dog with a virus and turns it into a monster and later he injects himself and turns into one. It was so silly looking the monster suits

What episode is that from? I just read the episode descriptions and can't find an episode that is remotely similar to it. From what I've read, though, the worst episode seems to be:



Season 1, Episode 20: Alpha
Original Air Date—11 May 1991
An android built by the government refuses to obey her orders, they want to use her as an assassin. She escapes, and is befriend by Tina and Barry. They try to help her.

The episode with the genetically altered dog (and a few homeless guys) was "Out of Control". It is the first regular episode after the pilot.

From the synopsis IMDB gives, it sounds like a good episode. I'm glad they don't mention that stuff then.

reply

That one was saved by the Greg Cannom (genius!) makeup effects.

I may be in the minority, but I thought Child's Play sucked hard.

Is childs play the one where he vibrates through a wall and defeats the bad guy by rocking out on an electric guitar? Because yeah, the episodes kind of sucks, but it's save of the fact that he vibrates through a wall and defeats the bad guy by rocking out on an electric guitar.

reply

That's the one. But yeah, it was cool to see Flash vibrating through a wall like in the classic comic books.

Nah guys, the worst was definitely "Beat the Clock" where the Flash had to prove this jazz musician's innocence. It was just plain awful. I hate jazz-inspired episodes of any show. They are always boring.

The one with the baby is the only episode of the series I can't watch.

My least favorite episode is Done with Mirrors.

I just watched Child's Play the other night and thought that was cool to watch him vibrate when he was tripping on that drug and went through the wall though. The final part was when he rocked on the electric guitar.

See that is what I loved about some of the shows that were made back during the 80's and a part of the early 90's is that they were cheesy. I loved that and still enjoy watching shows like that instead of the programming of today which I honestly think is a bit boring and way too serious now. Do not get me wrong I love a good crime and drama show, but of the style that I grew up watching like Charlie's Angels, Spencer For Hire, Hunter, or anythng similar to this.

What shocks me is that not all of the actors and actresses are mentioned who starred on these shows because in Child's Play there is a young Jonathan Brandis before he became a teenage heart throb in Sea Quest. I remember seeing Jonathan Brandis jump around from a show here and there that helped him get started in acting. I even remember seeing him in a episode of Full House in the late 80's or it might have been early 90's when he was on there.

I just watched that show the other day and it was not good that he injected the dog with the virus at all. Then later on himself as well. With how much WB paid for the costumes and all you would think that they would have done a better job with it because I totally remembered being 18 years old and reading that Warner Brothers was going to pay millions of dollars for the Flash costume that was made by the same people who made The Batman suit.
