- DirectorRobert FloreyStarsRod SerlingEverett SloaneVivi JanissA middle-aged man catches gambling fever from a slot machine that he believes is calling his name.I did not like this Twilight Zone episode, the pushy rude man got Franklin to gamble and he developed his gambling habits and the Slot Machine broke down on him on purpose and the Slot Machine ghost caused Franklin to crash through the window and fall to his death. Skip this terrible episode.
- DirectorRobert ParrishStarsRod SerlingJames DalyHoward SmithTired of his miserable job and wife, a businessman starts dreaming on the train each night, about an old, idyllic town called Willoughby. Soon he has to know whether the town is real and fancies the thought of seeking refuge there.
- DirectorJohn BrahmStarsBurgess MeredithVaughn TaylorJacqueline deWitA henpecked book lover finds himself blissfully alone with his books after a nuclear war.
- DirectorJoseph BarberaWilliam HannaStarsAlan ReedJean Vander PylMel BlancFred wants to buy his friend's pool hall. He intends to finance the purchase by betting a week's paycheck at the dinosaur races.While I like the Flintstones TV show, one of the episodes I never want to see again is At the Races.
Fred and Barney want to buy a pool hall but can't afford it so they resort to gambling at the races, they win money but Fred makes the mistake of hiding it under a rock and gets assaulted and beat up by a bully robber who gets away with his crime. Fred Flintstone suffers in the end and the robber is never caught.
I hated this episode. It was not very well made and they left a cliffhanger plot which never got resolved and is the only episode where the robber gets away with theft. Skip this episode and watch the other episodes instead. - DirectorJoseph BarberaWilliam HannaStarsAlan ReedJean Vander PylMel BlancFred's birthday gift to Wilma is a bird that talks--and may spill the beans about the boys' planned trip to Frantic City for a Water Buffalo convention.
- DirectorJoseph BarberaWilliam HannaStarsArnold StangAllen JenkinsMaurice GosfieldInspired by "The Wacky Tycoon" TV show, a kindly billionaire gives Benny a check for one million dollars to give Top Cat. T.C. refuses to even look at the check, believing that it's only for twenty-five cents, as payment for a raffle T.C. is running. But when the local merchants learn of Top Cat's good fortune, they begin to shower him with expensive merchandise.
- DirectorJames T. WalkerStarsEd GilbertR.J. WilliamsSally StruthersRebecca wins $100,000 in the Pazuza Super Mail Sweepstakes and she needs Baloo to mail her winning ticket by the deadline.This was the most disappointing Disney Channel cartoon. Rebecca wins her lottery and then never tells Baloo that she's won and makes him stressed out the entire episode only to be a few seconds too late and then the ticket is throw away only to be taken by the dump truck on a cliffhanger. Just skip this episode, the other Talespin episodes are better.
- DirectorArt VitelloStarsCharlie AdlerTress MacNeilleCree SummerIncludes "Spectacular Day," "Devil Doggie," "Optical Illusion" and "Win, Lose Or Kerplowie." Buster and Babs are replaced by the Wheel of Comedy, Elmyra adopts Dizzy in the misperception he's a puppy, Furrball's confused when he picks up 3-D glasses and Buster interferes with a rigged game show.
- CreatorJohn DilworthStarsMarty GrabsteinThea WhitePeter FernandezThe offbeat adventures of Courage, a cowardly dog who must overcome his own fears to heroically defend his unknowing farmer owners from all kinds of dangers, paranormal events and menaces that appear around their land.Ugh, I hated watching this most annoying Cartoon Network TV show.
Why would anyone like this annoying show. The dog screams the entire time, good lord this show is so terrible it's torture to watch each episode. I refuse to watch the rest of the episodes. - CreatorTom RueggerStarsRob PaulsenJess HarnellTress MacNeilleThe zany adventures of a trio of 1930s animated characters in the modern world.Don't get me wrong, I like Animaniacs very much, it's the episodes of Buttons and Mindy that I don't like very much. The reason is because Mindy's parents neglect their little girl to Buttons the dog which was very painful to watch.
I didn't like it at the end of the episode the parents pin the blame on Buttons when it was their fault for not watching their little girl getting into dangerous situations. Please skip the Buttons and Mindy episode segments and watch the other segments instead. - 1993–199520mTV-Y7.8 (34)TV EpisodeDirectorDonovan CookLarry HuberStarsBrad GarrettMark SchiffBrian CummingsSecret and Morocco are on the hunt for the famous art thief and master of disguise, Chameleon.I didn't like Substitute Teacher episode very much as I didn't like the students bullying their teacher Mr. Hollywood. I didn't like the screeching chalk sound very much. Skip this segment and watch the others instead.
- 1986–198822m6.7 (25)TV EpisodeDirectorMichael MalianiStarsBrennan ThickeJeannie EliasBrian GeorgeMr. Wilson slips on Dennis' skateboard and has to go to the hospital. Once there, Dennis arrives to cheer Wilson up... Wilson is in for the time of his life! The kids discover an abandoned old gothic house that Dennis decides would make a great club-house. The kids begin cleaning the place up until a pair of ghosts appear! The others want to leave the place, but Dennis who never once sees the ghosts chides them for being scaredy cats, and gets them to stay. Finally the "ghosts" are revealed as a couple of crooks who are using the old house to hide their ill-gotten gold, and using "scare tactics" to frighten the kids away. Dennis saves Margaret's life, and she won't let him forget it. Desperate to get Margaret out of his hair, he tries to arrange to have the girl save his life. All his efforts are futile...until an escaped grizzly bear happens on the scene.This is the worst Dennis the Menace episode ever! Cheer Up was very disrespectful and insensitive to elderly people and people in pain.
I didn't like Mr. Wilson getting hurt from slipping on the skateboard and laid up in pain at the hospital. Dennis parents are bad as they neglect him and put him in the same room with Mr. Wilson where he gets to torture Mr. Wilson in the bed recliner and the woman nurse doesn't look after Wilson and lets Dennis run through the halls in a dangerous wheelchair race where Mr. Wilsons broken foot hits the door and gets crushed in the elevator door. the ending was the worst with Dennis in bed tormenting Wilson in his bed recliner.
The nurse needs to get fired from her job and Dennis parents should've been fined for Mr. Wilsons hospital bill.
This controversial "Cheer Up" Dennis the Menace episode needs to be banned forever. This is very inappropriate for modern audiences. I hope it gets destroyed. - StarsBrennan ThickeJeannie EliasMarilyn LightstoneGood-natured, 6 y.o. Dennis is a menace to his parents and especially to his neighbor, Mr. Wilson. He has adventures with his friends and dog, Ruff. Each episode has 3 6-10 min. stories.This is the worst cartoon TV show that I've seen.
Dennis is a selfish neighbor bully who gets to torture Mr. Wilson, I hated Dennis Mitchell he ruined almost all of the TV episodes.
Dennis parents Henry and Alice are the worst parents ever and they neglect Dennis and lets him get away with property vandalism and lets him invade Mr. Wilsons house and torment him. I don't like that they don't even ground Dennis at all or punish him, and it isn't funny seeing Mr. Wilson doing painful daredevil stunts or getting hurt and abused.
I don't like the elder abuse in this TV show it isn't funny and it makes me angry seeing it happen in this TV show.
This awful 1980s TV show needs to be lost in history. It's the worst comic strip cartoon TV show ever. I didn't even like the comic strip by Hank Ketcham. The worst episode "Cheer Up" was the worst episode ever as it shows Dennis torturing Mr. Wilson who's injured in the hospital bed. - 2001–201723mTV-Y78.2 (857)TV EpisodeDirectorRob RenzettiGenndy TartakovskyStarsPhil LaMarrMakoDanny MannJack is aided by an equally skilled warrior woman with a dark secret to search for a crystal with magical properties.While I enjoyed almost all of the episodes of Samurai Jack. If there was one episode, I would forget about it would be episode 6 "Jack and the Warrior Woman". Jack meets a Warrior woman named Ikra who goes on a journey together with Jack to find the jewel. They defeat the monster.
While I enjoyed the animation sequences and fighting scenes. I enjoyed up until near the end when she defeats the monster, and she rudely breaks the jewel and reveals herself to be Aku a transgender monster demon man which shocked me. Keep in mind this cartoon was made in 2001 before it was common to feature transgender characters, we now have in the 2010s and 2020s cartoons.
But what ruined the ending of the episode was that Aku humiliated Jack and made him lose the quest and made him seek revenge which was uncalled for. This is an embarrassing episode I would skip over. I'm aware that it features Jacks failure, which is part of the story, but it just made me angry watching it. I'd much rather watch the other Samurai Jack episodes which are far more enjoyable and have a satisfying ending. - CreatorAlan SmartStarsCharlie AdlerJohn KassirTress MacNeilleThe wacky adventures of the new young hip generation of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes characters, most of them descendants of the original classic toon cast.Episodes that feature problematic episodes involving Elmyra Duff abusing animals.
While I enjoyed the funny scenes with funny jokes and misadventures of Buster, Babs and other cartoon characters.
The TV episodes involving Elmyra Duff harassing cartoon animals and abusing cartoon animals in painful ways made me upset to watch.
There's a reason why they sing "Elmyra is a pain" is because it is painful to watch. I would skip over episodes featuring Elmyra unless they teach her a lesson. I'd rather watch the music videos including a rap video which is fun to watch. - DirectorRoy BurdineStarsMichael SinterniklaasWayne GraysonSam RiegelTorbin Zixx returns. Good or Bad, what's he up to?Torbin Zixx tricks the 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into smuggling weapons.
While I enjoyed the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles including the Fast Foward episodes. This episode while the story was interesting ended very badly.
I didn't like how Torbin Zixx tricked the 4 Teenage Mutant Turtles to pretend that they were helping out the humanitarian aid in outer space only to find out that the Tricerions got a hold of weapons and Zixx humiliated the 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and made them lose which made me angry to watch. This is a lousy episode I would skip over. And I would rather watch other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 episodes instead which had a more satisfying ending. - CreatorBob Carroll Jr.Madelyn DavisStarsLucille BallGale GordonAnn DusenberryLucy Barker is a grandmother who constantly gets into comedic predicaments while living with her daughter's family.This TV show was a failure when it first aired in 1986. I later watched some youtube episodes It made me very nervous seeing Lucille Ball doing physical comedy stunts which she should not have done.
I was scared she was going to get hurt which she didn't. Thankfully it was canceled after Season 1 13 episodes.
I wished she didn't do physical comedy and had someone else do physical comedy. It would not have flopped. I liked the opening theme song but after this TV show flop, Lucille Ball retired and was sad it was a failure and later died in 1989.
It was too bad because I would've liked this Life with Lucy show like with earlier TV show successes I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy because she was younger. - 1960–196625mNot Rated7.6 (241)TV EpisodeDirectorJoseph BarberaWilliam HannaStarsAlan ReedJean Vander PylMel BlancUsed without his consent as the "before" picture in a weight-loss pitch, Fred decides to accept the challenge to lose thirty pounds in thirty days when told of the money that can be his.While I like The Flintstones TV show, there's another episode I will not watch again and that's Fred Flintstone: Before and After. This problematic controversial episode features fat shaming and negative pressure to lose weight which problem is still going on today. The ad sponsors were very mean to Fred and made him suffer and bullied him and even after getting the money prize they still won't let him go back to his old ways at the end of the episode.
This was also the worst Flintstones episode Hanna Barbera ever made. It makes fun of overweight people which I was surprised the Hanna Barbera company approved of in the 1960s. I'm a little overweight and I don't think this TV episode is appropriate anymore.
I won't be surprised if this controversial episode gets pulled and banned from TV or online amazon video or boomerang TV services.
You're better off watching other Flintstones episodes instead. - CreatorAlfred GoughMiles MillarStarsAustin ButlerIvana BaqueroManu BennettSeries of adventures, war, and evil that occur throughout the history of the Four Lands.All of the Season 1 and 2 episodes.
I have seen this worst Shannara TV show and there are a lot of problems with it. For one it deviated from the original Elfstone of Shannara book. There was no marathon race that the TV show showed, there was mature content including gory violence, torture nudity, LGBT same gender love content between 2 women, and alot of profanity. And the epic battle scene at the end of Season 1 wasn't epic, it was lame and too quick.
I'm very disappointed in Terry Brooks and his workers for approving this bad MTV Spike TV show. I hope there will be a TV show or movie remake that will actually follow Elfstone of Shannara. In the meantime skip this awful TV show and all of the episodes. - DirectorCharlotte BrändströmStarsJoseph MawleGeoff MorrellIsmael Cruz CordovaAdar and his army march on Ostirith.Rings of Power Udun.
I watched Rings of Power and while the story was okay, this episode Udun was way too violent and featured gory bloodbath and blood splatter scenes which shocked me very much, it's even more violent than Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit live action remakes.
I don't know what the Amazon company was thinking when they went for the rated MA game of Thrones mature graphic bloody violence. It made me upset as I'm sensitive to graphic violence. - DirectorChuck JonesStarsWilliam RobertsA man futilely struggles to make his fortune with a frog that sings and dances, but only when it is alone with the owner.I have seen this cartoon and I didn't like the singing frog, he was so annoying and he was very mean to the construction worker man who wanted to put on an entertaining show and make him go broke and made him a homeless man. I didn't like how annoying he was to the man so much so that he got rid of the frog.
- DirectorBruce W. SmithStarsTommy DavidsonPaula Jai ParkerJo Marie PaytonWhen Penny persuades her parents to have a sleepover, things get a little out of control when Dijonay brings a bunch of other kids to the newly proclaimed "party". Penny and Myron get locked in a closet, where Penny realizes Myron is claustrophobic. At school, everyone is talking about a rumor that Penny and Myron are a couple.I started watching The Proud Family. And if there's a controversial episode I won't watch again, it would be "Rumors" first of all it shows Oscar teasing the birds and making mean jokes about them and the scary scene of getting attacked by a flock of birds. I also didn't like it that Penny had her poodle dog babysit the 2 baby twins who ended up torturing the dog by slingshot it outside on roller skates and almost getting hit by a car. I didn't like the ending where the 2 Twins decided to tie a rocket to the dog and launch it.
Also, I didn't like the bullying with people with disabilities like Myron who is claustrophobic and has Ashma. It was very cruel watching bullies locking him up in a closet. I also didn't like the gossip and how they wouldn't let Penny explain herself to them and they get away with spreading rumors which made me mad.
This problematic 2001 Disney Channel episode "Rumors" needs be removed and banned. This is very inappropriate and no longer acceptable to depict animal cruelty and bullying people with disabilities. This controversial Proud Family episode "Rumors" needs to be removed from Disney Plus.
