A particularly annoying Sopranos dream sequence reference.

Re: Least Favourite Moment In Favourite Shows

The Friday Night Lights series finale where they skipped over the actual championship football game that the entire season was building up to and didn't really even tell us who won. Yeah, I know, it was meant to show us that life is more important than football, but still.

But yeah, that Kramer/banker thing is probably my least favorite moment in the entire run of the show.
the famous "the Contest" was 1 episode before that. i believe the Bubble Boy episode was right before that

You know, after I made my post, I went through the episode list of that season, and noticed a few other classics (that aired before the ep I mentioned) as well, like Jane Leeves as The Virgin.

Still, I do think that season took a few episodes to get up to speed. I think it was a couple of poor plotlines (the previously mentioned Kramer/Newman court scene, and I also thought the Crazy Joe Davola story was a misfire as well), and also the fact that Julia Louis-Dreyfus was preggers for the first few episodes so she wasn't with the full cast.

As for Elaine's role in the Festivus episode, that's when Seinfeld was at its perfect stride for me; all four characters have completely different plotlines yet they weave and intersect until they're completely united. Elaine was looking for her free sub card that she accidently gave out with her fake phone number, Kramer ends his strike and goes back to work at H&H, Jerry is dating a girl who looks ugly in bad lighting, and George is giving out fake donations to The Human Fund. All four end up merging and converging at the Festivus celebration. The fact that they could have such four divergent plotlines in a half-hour sitcom and still make it seem focused and concise was a testament to the brilliance of the show.

Favorite show: Six Feet Under

While I think the fourth season is totally underrated as a whole (the first eight episodes are downright amazing), the stretch from Grinding the Corn through Bomb Shelter (also including The Black Forest) was a little bit of a slog to get through even watching it live.

Series VII and Back to Earth of Red Dwarf. When the show starts taking itself too seriously it is PAINFUL to watch.

Even if he was annoying the season was pretty epic, IMO. I didn't watch the show live but if I did I would have been going crazy after each cliffhanger ending.

The British woman joining the cast of The Office. Unfunny and such a drag to watch.

Never liked the American version of The Office full stop, however i believe you are talking about Catherine Tate, and this is one of a few female comediennes in England that seem to be loved by most and for what reason i have no idea. I am English and feel i have a pretty good sense of humor, but Catherine Tate is the anti-funny.

I seem to recall Norm Macdonald saying something along the lines of there are very few truly funny women working in show business, and i have to agree with him. Many of my female friends have a far superior sense of humor than these no talents.

For me the least favorite moment was when Breaking Bad ended. I knew it had to, and appreciated that it stopped before it lost its edge, but saying goodbye to that show was tough. Truly one of the best TV shows of all time.

As for MWC, how about when they added Katey Sagal's pregnancy into the storyline ("Hail baby"), then had to backpedal when she miscarried? It was a dumb storyline, made worse knowing that Sagal was really emotionally devastated by the miscarriage. Those episodes must be a horrible memory for her, and they're awkward to watch when they air in syndication (which is rare)

Re: Least Favourite Moment In Favourite Shows

Anytime Lost focused on Kate. Why would they make their lead female such an unlikable character? Did anyone really care if she ended up with Jack or Sawyer?
Another bad Lost character: Rocky Dennis.

Fringe - The whole subplot with Fauxlivia/BOlivia/whatever pretending to be the real Olivia and duping Peter. It was a soap opera evil twin cliché that Fringe was way too smart for. I honestly didn't really like the final season that took place in the future with The Observers. It just seemed like a different show and while I still loved the characters, the plot didn't do much for me. We were supposed to care about the death of their grown child that they (and we) only met weeks before. I didn't feel anything.

House - The final season with no Cuddy and the lame crew consisting of unfunny hipster Asian girl and Thirteen Part II.

Then that would've killed my whole "Two words" lead in.

Anyway, it's the full episode dream sequence in the final season of The Sopranos, where Tony is comatose after a gunshot and dreams he's ordinary guy Kevin Finnerty. It's chock full of symbolism and parallels and although some found it to be brilliant, I thought it was pretentious and, even worse, boring as hell. The show was always too cute and smug with the dream sequences.
