Top 10 Worst Episodes of Quantum Leap

Not really a fan of listing as "worst" but an episode that I don't really care for is the following:
Season 5 Episode 13 Liberation - October 16, 1968

Good Morning, Peoria



Perhaps this is because I'm not an American (then again, most episodes were based on American society), but this rock & roll episode bored me to death. Saving the town from people who hate rock & roll? Yeah, that will beat saving someone's life (in any kind of way) any time of the day|I

My least fave episodes are:

Blood Moon - story was a bit over the top and that actress who played Alexandra was awful!

The Wrong Stuff - just didn't find that story line interesting.

I always skipped The Wrong Stuff, I don't think I ever watched it all the way through..... I watched Blood Moon just for Al XD

This is just my opinion, but I guess your pattern theory applies to me, Grimlock. I don't particularly enjoy the episode that try too hard to be funny. Like, I cannot watch Stand Up. At all. But if there's an underlying dark thread to it, like A Tale Of Two Sweeties or The Wrong Stuff, it's better for me. And if it's completely two-hankie tragic, like Shock Theatre or even Goodbye Norma Jean, I'm all over it.

Some of my least favourites are:

Stand Up (unfunny and dumb)
Dr. Ruth (unfunny, pointless and dumb)
Beast Within (boring)
The Play's the Thing (cringeworthy - I'm embarrassed for all of the characters, but I like the daughter in law's wardrobe)
It's a Wonderful Leap (I'm sorry, but I mute Angela when she sings)
Heart of a Champion (boring, except for the last ring fight)
Good Morning Peoria (way to force the chemistry there)
Runaway (much better done in Liberation)

But the only one I'll totally skip in a marathon is Stand Up.

By the way, Unchained is loosely based on a Sidney Poitier/Tony Curtis movie called The Defiant Ones, and A Single Drop of Rain is based loosely on the Burt Lancaster/Katharine Hepburn film The Rainmaker. Both really terrific films.

I didn't like It's A Wonderful Leap at all.... I'm pretty sure I saw the first few minutes with Angela and skipped the episode. I HATED her
 
I didn't like the Dr Ruth episode at all. That was done when they producers were desperate because ratings were slipping and they tried the either had Sam leaping into someone famous or interacting with someone famous like Marylin Monroe. I wish they had stuck to the oroginal path the series had taken. I also don't care for Trilogy.
I like Good Morning Peoria though.
 
No wishing to appear sycophantic but I don't think there were any bad episodes, per se. It was always entertaining - unlike the revival series - which I did watch all of

One or two I might avoid, given the subject matter - The Boogieman is one I didn't let my son see, on his first viewing a few years back, as as Christians, it was anathema to our faith and we don't 'do' Halloween though I had watched it on the original broadcast and I rewatched it a few years before his viewing but was disconcerted by it. Ditto the similar episode of the revival - I fast forwarded through the suspect stuff and only know what happened from reading a precis.
