00:00Is that something you guys would want?
00:02Yes!
00:03Hey, hello and welcome to Watch Mojo Español.
00:06I'm Jean, and today we tell you our selections of the episodes that damaged the reputation of good television shows.
00:13And in some cases, they represent the point at which a series began to decline.
00:18We will talk about important spoilers, so this is your alert.
00:22You stay here, Ike.
00:25You watch.
00:27Number 30
00:29A Journey to the Highlands, Downtown Abbey
00:32The Crawley make a trip to Scotland and visit the Dunnip farm.
00:36During the family trip, Mary enters the delivery and returns to the abbey to give birth to George Matthew Crawley.
00:43Can this hot and dusty traveler come in?
00:53Say hello to your son and heir.
00:55Matthew is going to visit Mary and meet his newborn son.
00:59It is a moment of joy for both, since George will be the heir to the family heritage.
01:04However, happiness fades away, since shortly after the father leaves the hospital, he dies in a car accident.
01:12We don't always get our just desserts.
01:23His sudden death did not please many fans, as he followed the death of Lady Sybil Branson.
01:29Number 29
01:30Everyone Knows It's Bendy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
01:35Bendy arrives at Foster's house and immediately causes problems.
01:39The problem for Blue and the others is that Mr. Harryman and Frankie always stand by his side.
02:01Bendy is bad for no reason.
02:03He causes problems to the other imaginary friends many times, even if they haven't done anything to him.
02:08It doesn't help that he is a crybaby or manipulator, since every time he gets attention, he pretends innocence.
02:23It's a trick that gets tired very quickly and we end up with a flat character that doesn't contribute anything interesting to the series.
02:29Number 28
02:30Pilot, Parks and Recreation
02:33For many, the first season of this popular comedy is a failure.
02:37Things don't start well with the first episode.
02:51In this one, we meet Leslie Knope and company next to the city of Pawnee, Indiana.
02:56When it was initially broadcast, it was criticized for looking too much like The Office and the character of Knope and Michael Scott,
03:04while some considered it unpleasant.
03:15Still, there was potential to prosper, which turned out to be the case, since in the second season things started to improve.
03:23Number 27
03:24The Timeless Children, Doctor Who
03:26The plot twists, if done well, can cause emotion, because they are able to make us rethink everything we know about a character or situation.
03:35Oh Doctor, really?
03:39Haven't you worked this out yet?
03:47The child is you.
03:48However, for many fans of Doctor Who, this revelation was completely forced and unnecessary.
03:54Instead of the Doctor being a time lord of the planet Gallifrey, he is a being from another world of unknown origin to which they erased his memory.
04:02You are the Timeless Child.
04:07No, no, no.
04:11You always have been.
04:14I can't be.
04:15Some thought this explanation ruined the mystery, while others considered it ruined the story of the series and the development of the character of the Doctor.
04:24Number 26
04:25Sang Beneath the Sang, Grey's Anatomy
04:28Musical episodes can be complicated.
04:31When they are done well, you end up with Buffy's Once More With Feeling.
04:34When they are done badly, you end up with this.
04:44Many fans considered that the change of tone was shocking, since the series is mainly a medical drama and the idea of a musical did not fit.
04:52Even the co-protagonist Patrick Dempsey thought that the episode had been a big mistake.
04:57Fans were also upset that most of the cast did not know how to sing.
05:08He was praised for taking the risk of trying something new, but for many he died on the operating table.
05:14Number 25
05:15The Day Will Come When You Won't Be, The Walking Dead
05:19Negan's interpretation of Jeffrey Dean Morgan was highly praised, but it was not enough to save this episode from the contempt of critics and fans alike.
05:36Things started badly, as many people were unhappy with the end of the sixth season for its slow pace and having ended with an unsatisfactory clip hangar.
05:46It was considered that the violence of the premiere of the seventh season had been unnecessary, and fans classified as exaggerated the way Abraham and Glenn had been murdered.
06:10Number 24
06:11Saturday Morning Fan Pit, Futurama
06:14The anthological episodes have become a basic element of this animated science fiction comedy, but this collection of animated cartoon parodies was not the best choice for some.
06:33Most of the jokes just did not fit, while others considered that the parodies themselves were worn out and boring.
06:41Other programs have parodied Scooby-Doo and have made the same jokes about reusing the animation, the guest stars, the recorded laughs and the weak plot.
07:01Some also thought that this episode took advantage of the humor of the characters and the smart way in which the normal episodes are generally written.
07:10Number 23
07:11Tart Book, Letter Canny
07:13Known for its fast pace and puns, this Canadian comedy has earned the affection of many.
07:18Unfortunately for its fans, everything went to the edge with this episode centered on gases.
07:29It should be painfully obvious by the title, but the Hicks have a social network based on the flatulences of each one.
07:36Everything becomes an endless joke of gases that most do not understand.
07:55Although there are some funny moments of the parody of The Social Network, you do not miss much.
08:00Number 22
08:01Frank's Brother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
08:05The best thing about this episode is the performance of Lance Reddick, but unfortunately for the fans of It's Always Sunny, it was not enough to save him.
08:22This episode takes place in the past, it tells how Frank opens a nightclub with his older brother and they compete for the love of the same woman.
08:30Although there are a good number of jokes, the fans have criticized the fact that it does not involve too many friends in itself and does not follow the scheme of a conventional chapter of the series.
08:45Number 21
08:46Rick Dependents Prey, Rick and Morty
08:49If there is a thin line between good and bad taste, for fans and critics of Rick and Morty, this episode the rose or definitely the cross.
09:01We have a disgusting beginning when Morty's genetic material, without knowing it, is transformed into giant monstrosities by Rick.
09:13They begin to terrorize the planet and a plan is created to lure the sperm to a trap using one of Summer's ovules.
09:21A sperm manages to enter the ovule, with what Morty and Summer technically have a child together.
09:31This fact was too much for many viewers and people began to wonder what was going on with the series.
09:45Number 20
09:46Teal Leaves, Nat Men
09:48This fifth season focuses largely on Betty Draper and was the debut of Jon Hamm as director.
09:55Unfortunately, having Don Draper himself in front could not save this episode from a questionable leap towards the melodrama.
10:07Betty's cancer diagnosis ends up giving its emotional fruits in the last season, but the hasty pace of the story reduces emotional weight.
10:17Even worse, the royal pregnancy of January Jones gives rise to the episode Fat Betty, considered by many as one of the worst plot arcs of the series.
10:31Although the plot B in which Don tries to recruit the Rolling Stones for an announcement of Heinz is a climax, it is not enough to save it from being one of the most disappointing creations of Mad Men.
10:47Number 19
10:50G1, Friends
10:52This two-part finale of the ninth season of Friends is the point at which some critics and fans believe that the series was beginning to run out of ideas.
11:02I had to pull some strings, but I was able to get everyone passes to the entire conference. That's right!
11:08The episodes present not only a love triangle between Phoebe and her suitors Mike and David, but also a love rectangle between Ross, Rachel, Joey and Charlie.
11:17Although it could be said that the first is more interesting.
11:21Oh my God, Mike!
11:23It's David, actually.
11:25The latter is one of the main focus of attention of both episodes and culminates with the beginning of a relationship between Rachel and Joey, intended to be brief due to the lack of chemistry between the characters.
11:37However, it is a little more interesting than all the jokes about Monica's hair. A little.
11:47Number 18
11:48Shades of Grey, Star Trek The Next Generation
11:55The infection is spreading, it will eventually reach the brain.
11:58This popular science fiction series had few loose deliveries during its seven seasons, which makes this failure of the second highlight even more.
12:06After contracting a deadly virus, they put Commander Riker in a machine that makes him dream of past events aboard the Enterprise.
12:14This strategy was used mainly to reduce costs, since the series had run out of money near the end of the season.
12:22He's relaxed, experiencing feelings of warmth and friendship.
12:30Even for the standards of the series, this is a painful hour.
12:35To make things worse, at that time there were only two seasons of episodes where to extract clips.
12:41Fortunately, it was the first and last time that Next Generation tried to make a flashback episode.
12:47Recognize Picard, Jean-Luc, Captain. Recognize Riker, William T, Commander.
12:54Number 17
12:55Chapter 54, Jane the Virgin
12:58In its own way, this mid-season finale is an excellent television installment.
13:03He's not breathing.
13:04Call 911.
13:05Driven by the shocking death of Michael Cordero, it is a tragic and sincere episode that changed the series forever.
13:12Unfortunately, not necessarily for good.
13:14Although it was well received at the time, it is pointed out by some as the one that killed the series.
13:19Or at least it marked a drop in quality.
13:21The sudden three-year time jump at the end of the episode was already quite bad, as it hid the emotional consequences of Michael's death.
13:30But resurrecting him the next season made the twist useless.
13:35What an evasion.
13:36Surprise!
13:38Number 16
13:39Into That Good Night, Roseanne
13:42Long before the disastrous reboot of the Connors family in 2018, Roseanne's fans witnessed another type of shipwreck with this series finale of the 90s.
13:57The ninth season of this beloved old series was criticized by fans and professionals alike.
14:03Due to an incredible argument that the Connors won the lottery.
14:11And a shocking revelation at the end of two parts.
14:13After a series of increasingly strange adventures, the last episode decided everything by revealing that the Connors were never millionaires.
14:29It had all been a dream of Roseanne.
14:31A fictional world to help her overcome the sudden death of her husband.
14:36Although it was a bold narrative choice, the fans were not exactly happy that they had wasted their time with a season of rarities before they told them that none of that mattered.
14:54Number 15
14:55The Farm, The Office
14:56In its last season, this NBC comedy was consuming.
15:01What are you doing here?
15:02You invited me, you threw the red dirt in my face.
15:04After the departure of Steve Carell in the seventh season, the series focused on the remaining members of the cast.
15:11But no one was able to fill Michael Scott's shoes.
15:14You wanna go in?
15:15I'll put you in.
15:16Here we go.
15:21For example, Dwight Schrute, who starred in an episode set in his beetroot farm.
15:26At first he was going to be the pilot of a spin-off proposal.
15:30NBC preferred not to do it and we understand why.
15:38Despite how great Dwight is, his actions work better when they contrast with those of his companions.
15:45Although in Schrute's farms there is fun for a while, it is difficult to imagine that someone would like to see an entire series about Dwight and his strange family.
15:57Number 14
15:59A Million Little Fibers, South Park
16:02The animated series by Trey Parker and Matt Stone has maintained a high level of quality for more than two decades.
16:14How spicy would you like your chain sauce?
16:17But towards the tenth season, there was a change.
16:21How spicy would you like your chain sauce?
16:24But towards the tenth season, there were reasons to believe that it was deteriorating.
16:29This episode in which Toa Jinn writes some memories and appears in Oprah is the worst of South Park.
16:35You have been through so much.
16:38And I think that people all over America could benefit...
16:41Oh God, there she goes again, babbling about people's lives and carrying on.
16:46It is an absurd editing that leads to the shocking image of Oprah's genitals taking hostages at gunpoint.
16:52It is incredible that it will be broadcast.
16:54The humor does not work and is not up to the series.
16:57Even the creators have admitted that it is bad and Stone said that he would delete that episode if he could.
17:03We agree on that.
17:12Number 13
17:13The Lost Sister – Stranger Things
17:16The rhythm is essential for a good story.
17:19And when a television series suddenly stops, the audience realizes.
17:30This episode centered on Eleven deserves some credit for assuming a narrative risk.
17:35Unfortunately, his trip to Chicago to spend time with a group of misfits does not lead to the type of character growth that should be expected.
17:42She returns to Hawkins as Diana in the next episode.
17:45And the only thing that really changed in her is her hairstyle.
17:49Although to be fair, she looks good.
17:54Even worse.
17:55This episode takes us away from the action in Hawkins, just when she is warming up for a confrontation in the final act.
18:01In short, it seems more of a distraction than an important moment for the character's growth.
18:13Number 12
18:14Last Days of Summer – Friday Night Lights
18:17The continuation of a first season acclaimed by critics can be difficult for any series.
18:22And Friday Night Lights lost the ball with the premiere of its second season.
18:31Although it does a good job showing the sequels of the events of the previous season, things go wrong for many characters.
18:38Especially for Tyra and Landry, whose fight with her stalker ends with the body of the criminal in the river.
18:51This in particular triggered an arc of investigation that lasted the entire season.
18:55Which seems incoherent with what the series had been and what it would become later.
19:06Number 11
19:08Avatar – The Last Airbender
19:10Fortunately, Avatar had few failures in its three years of duration, but it stands out as the worst of all.
19:22In the plot, Aang and company decide to help two rival clans to emigrate through a canyon.
19:28Most of the time there are discussions, both between the clans and between the heroes.
19:33In the end, Aang resolves the differences by lying to them.
19:36A decision that really does not fit with his character.
19:39And a strange message with which to end the episode.
19:49In general, this chapter does not contribute much to the plot and the characters.
19:53So you could just skip it.
20:00Number 10
20:01The Puerto Rican Day – Seinfeld
20:04This show was one of the most influential TV series of the 90s.
20:09And many were scandalized when its creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David decided to end it after nine seasons.
20:23Although some consider the end as a great disappointment, a previous episode of the season was just as controversial.
20:30Many Puerto Ricans were offended by the topic, which in general represented it in a negative way.
20:36And that Kramer accidentally burned his flag did not help much.
20:46The NBC was flooded with complaints, which led the network to issue a formal apology.
20:52Even if we put aside the controversy, this episode is not very memorable and Seinfeld simply should have avoided creating it.
21:01Number 9
21:03Black Market – Battlestar Galactica
21:06This reimagined space series incorporated several different genres.
21:10But in this episode there was one that did not go well.
21:14The noir.
21:21In the episode Lee Apollo Adama investigates a black market that somehow emerged in a fleet with a pirate ship.
21:29With a population smaller than the average city.
21:32Apart from the saturation of argumental holes and narrative conveniences,
21:37trying to turn the heroic resident pilot of Galactica into a detective during an episode simply did not work.
21:51The noir in space can work, but not here.
21:55Even the creator of the series, Ronald D. Moore, described the episode as a disappointment.
22:00Although at least he could admit it.
22:05Number 8
22:06Free Fall – E.R.
22:12Any air program for 15 years is forced to have at least one bad episode.
22:17And Free Fall is one of the worst in E.R.
22:20The problem of the plot is basically Dr. Robert Romano, an unpleasant man in general.
22:30Romano had other facets and even had received a kind of karmic punishment for losing his arm with a helicopter propeller.
22:37His death, however, is simply cruel and unusual.
22:41You will wonder how it happens.
22:43Well, a helicopter crashes against him, of course.
22:46The screenwriters had already made the character two-dimensional at the end of his career,
22:50but they had to make his death just as cartoonish.
23:03Number 7
23:04Intro to Fall Surrogacy – Community
23:07The fourth season was difficult for Community in general,
23:10and this episode is the lowest point of a year full of outings less than stellar.
23:16I don't know what happened, but we have to get to the bottom of this.
23:20The episode shows the group of lost studio in the forest,
23:23time during which they eat some berries that make them hallucinate
23:26that they are all puppets and exchange secrets with each other.
23:30The truth is I've never voted, except when I watch The Voice.
23:34Although Community is known for its episodes with surreal moments,
23:38they usually serve the story or the characters,
23:41although this was not the case.
23:45I'm sorry.
23:47I didn't mean to startle anybody.
23:49Number 6
23:50Stranger in a Stranger Land – Lost
23:53You're not from around here, are you?
23:55Although in general it was a polarizing series,
23:57Lost suffered a drop in quality during its third season.
24:00Some say that Expose, an episode in which two characters hated by fans died,
24:05are the lowest point of the show, but many think this is much worse.
24:10There will be consequences, Jack.
24:13The flashback focuses on how Jack got his tattoos,
24:17while the plot of the island focuses on Kate and Sawyer's return to the camp
24:22and on Jack and Juliet's position among the others.
24:25The episode also answers some questions,
24:28such as what happened to the people the others kidnapped,
24:31and raises some more.
24:33So, I was hoping you may help me clear up a few of the inconsistencies.
24:40At the end of the day, Stranger seems like a filler,
24:42which in a continuous show can affect the show.
24:49Number 5
24:50Beer Bad – Buffy, the Vampire House
24:53Ice water, man!
24:55Nothing on the rocks?
24:56The young students and the series that represent them
24:59have difficulties getting to the university,
25:01and Buffy is no exception.
25:03This episode shows our heroine
25:06choking on beer when a guy uses her to have sex.
25:13However, a magical thing in the beer
25:15turns her and her friends into cavemen.
25:23Although in the episode there are elements of the ingenuity and humor characteristic of the series,
25:27they are a little eclipsed by the clumsy warning against drinking and occasional sex,
25:32as well as for making their protagonist look like a fool.
25:39In short, this episode is very bad.
25:42Number 4
25:43Remember the Monsters? – Dexter
25:45The drama of the serial killers was in decline
25:48since the plot arc of the fourth season's killer Trinity,
25:52but nothing prepared the viewers for the disastrous end of the series.
25:56This episode, a horrible hour of television,
25:59unleashes a growing coup of several seasons of the characters.
26:03The pious murder of her sister Deb would have already been pretty bad on its own,
26:08because she deserved something much better.
26:14After taking his boat to the center of the hurricane,
26:17Dexter is given for dead, although he is actually living as a lumberjack.
26:21Surely someone liked this ambiguous ending,
26:24but it is clear that the writers had no better ideas to end the series.
26:28Number 3
26:29The Principal and the Pauper – The Simpsons
26:35In this episode it is revealed that the director Simmers Skinner
26:38is an impostor who took the name of one of his companions who did not return home from Vietnam.
26:45Revealing that such an important character for a long time is another person can work when done right,
26:50but the fact that the people decided to pretend they did not know about this at the end of the episode
26:55not only annulled any impact it could have had,
26:58it also made fans and critics feel betrayed, and as if nothing had made sense.
27:10Many staff members have described this episode as a mistake,
27:14but its screenwriter Kent Killer has stated that he wanted to provoke and satirize the indignation of the fans.
27:20Leaving aside the intention, the execution made everyone say
27:36Everyone knows that Game of Thrones lost its course in the last season,
27:39but it reached its lowest point before, with this controversial failure of the fifth season.
27:53At this point the series had almost run out of original material,
27:56and was getting further and further away from George R. R. Martin's books.
28:01Lying to your husband on his wedding night, that would be a bad way to start a marriage.
28:07One of the most questionable changes happens here, when Sansa Stark is forced to marry the sadistic Ramsay Bolton.
28:14As for television hours, both The Bells and The Iron Throne can be worse,
28:19but with Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken, Game of Thrones ceased to be prestigious.
28:25Hey, we're not done yet, but almost.
28:28Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and activate the bell to receive notifications of our latest videos.
28:34You will surely like them.
28:36Now, let's go to the end.
28:48Few series endings have insulted the fans or have been so close to ruining the series in general as this one.
28:54In The Last Forever, Tracy's mother dies in an unceremonious and off-screen way,
28:59and Barney and Robin, whose marriage had been the center of the entire final season, get divorced.
29:10Both events were necessary for the last nail in the coffin.
29:14Join the future Ted with the future Robin.
29:17A outcome that, as they say, the creators decided in the middle of the series.
29:21For an episode whose message was that things change,
29:25its writers seemed blind to the fact that the series had overcome the relationship between Ted and Robin.
29:44What episode ruined your favorite show?
29:47Okay, we have a lot to talk about tonight.
