Mine would be the one where Hank catches Bobby smoking with his friends and then forces him into smoking several packs of cigarettes as a punishment! That was so stupid!
Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw
I love the show so it's much easier to pick a favorite rather a least favorite. I will say my favorites tend to revolve around Bobby and Bill, and least favorites around Dale, who I don't find very likable, but then I feel sorry for him too because of the Redcorn situation.
shareThe episode where that trio of older girls "befriended" Bobby only so they could use him.
"My precious"-Gollum
I still love this show, sometimes it's the only thing on tv. However, I can't stand the zztop episode, the whole thing is so poorly written and contrived that you can't suspend disbelief, even for a cartoon. The premise doesn't mesh with any other premise in any of the other episodes, it just comes out of nowhere.
shareLike most people, I don't like the episode in which the pig guy basically kidnaps Luanne. It is just plain disturbing. And although Bill is a great character, stories revolving around him were not the best, such as the Harmonaholics and the episode where he worked out with those muscle guys.
shareThe episode when Nancy's hair falls out because she's no longer with John Redcorn.
and
The episode when the Hill's visit Peggy's mean family in Montana. At least Hank's family is comically mean. Peggy's family seems terrible.
Signature!
Peggy's family seems terrible.
I agree with bregund. The ZZtop episode was hands down the worst. I couldn't stand the band in this episode, the plot was awful, and it didn't fit in naturally with the series. The second one would be the one where Luanne hooks up with the pig guy
shareAfter all these years we find out Hank has a famous relative? And the cliche of average people finding themselves involved in a TV show? Ugh. Plus, any time an episode devolves into slapstick mayhem (Teutels, anyone?) it's a bad sign.
Essentially killing a character on camera was also disturbing. A better way to have handled it would have been to allude to rumors of a previous Larson meeting a similar demise--where's Dale when you need him?--then have Hank come to the rescue before history can repeat itself. Good for Peggy for smelling trouble, but Hank should have eventually seen the light as well. Or at least have Peggy act more effectively; she really comes off badly here.
Suite Smells of Excess. The story is stupid and over-the-top and Hank and Bobby act painfully out-of-character. Plus it's not funny.
I'm afraid that you underestimate the number of subjects in which I take an interest!
Church Hopping. I have to agree with Reverend Stroup, Hank was being a complete idiot! and for what? For not being able to sit in "His" seat? At the end of the episode, Hank "Blackmails" the pastor! Wow, what a great christian guy Hank must be!
"You don't want my hand in marriage, you want it in a sandwich!"
Off the top of my head, I say the one with the pig guy kidnapping Luanne and the one where Bobby goes to clown school. Both are very unfunny episodes.
And I'm not a big fan of "Peggy selling real estate" episodes.
Edjumacating Lucky and Life A Loser's Manuel are two of the absolute worst in my opinion, the first because Luanne becomes engaged to that ugly moron "Lucky" and the second because Luanne's dad is retconned into a complete jackass who is nothing like he was previously described.
shareI agree completely on the Peggy episodes. Heck, pretty much any Peggy-centric episode from the last five or six seasons is pretty useless. It's like the show runners ran out of things for her to do, so she changed jobs more than Homer Simpson.

She did end up having a lot of jobs, didn't she? From her original substitute teaching job, she went to Mexico to work for that actor, plus she pretended to be a nun so she could work at the religious school. She volunteered at the mega-church, was in real-estate, worked for the newspaper a few episodes as well as writing a musings column and her advice columns, worked as a checker at the grocery store, she was a day-trader, she fell for two pyramid schemes (the power bars and the pots and pans), she ran a book/gun store, coached the cheerleaders, participated on roller derby, and she ran Sugarfoot's for a while. Those are all I can think of, but that's a lot for what was supposed to take place in a time span of around two years.

I'm just expressing my opinion.
You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.
To Sirloin with Love was my least favorite, it was ungodly boring.
Because a rotting undead corpse is probably a better choice than most politicians

No question: It Ain't Over 'Til the Fat Neighbor Sings (2005)
Bill-centric episodes are often among my favorites, but there's so much singing it just kills the episode for me. I do a lot of fast forwarding during Family Guy (which is much, much worse with the musical content)
Plus, when did Bill ever sing before or after that episode? I only remember his off-key Takin' Care of Business in the beauty pageant episode.

Any episode with cotton or Lucky in it, I hate them! I also thought that the episode "Im with Cupid' was disturbing! Seeing bobby act like bill was too much!
I also think it is interesting how they have many episodes centering around Thanksgiving and Christmas...what about the other holidays!?
The episode where bobby cuts and grows roses for a rose competition was BORING. That 'Ms. Wakefield' episode...and that episode 'Escape from Party Island' (forget the name) where Hank had to go rescue his mom and a bunch of her old lady friends from being stranded on this island while spring break was going on all because his mom wanted to collect some miniature animal statue or something was LAME.
I gotta disagree with you on "Escape from Party Island", I thought that was a GREAT episode. There's a lot of good Hank moments in it, the old ladies are pretty funny, plus you get the funny side story with Bill trying to take over Hank's job as head of the Hill household.
The ending was kind of silly, but everything leading up to it was pretty funny.
It's "Untitled Blake Mc Cormick Project" for me. KOTH does not work when its characters are being deliberately cruel to each other. Basically Dale conspires to make his friend's life miserable and the others don't care since that's preferable to letting the village idiot know that his son is not his. And I thought that Bill tiring of the relationship was forced, just plain bad writing.
