“Valentine’s Day” (February 11, 1989)
Feb. 14 marks a truly terrible holiday that we’d normally encourage you all to ignore. However, it so happens that just in time for 2023’s Valentine’s Day we were reminded of a Golden Girls episode that spins not one but four tales about thi...

A heads up: This episode discusses sexual assault in the context of it being something that would get referenced in mid-2000s shows as a marker of being “edgy.” Also, there is a discussion of anal probing in the context of alien abduction, not to be funny but to try and understand why this is...

“A Very Brady Episode” (February 5, 1989)
Easily, the weirdest thing about this episode of the otherwise-forgotten NBC sitcom Day by Day is the fact that it features Christopher Daniel Barnes, who’d go on to play Greg in the Brady Bunch movies, opposite a reunion of six of the nine or...

“The Great Gazoo” (October 29, 1965)
Not only did the Great Gazoo mark the “jumping the shark” point for The Flintstones well before that was a term that meant anything in TV studies, but also there’s a whole queer backstory for this green imp, where he’s allegedly inspired by a...

I know some of you wanted us to do the Benson episode as planned for Weirdest Episode Ever. I'm posting the whole thing here, in case you'd like to watch. If you do, I think you'll see why the whole thing is just not funny and would be a slog to get through, GEE-style.

“Freudian Sleep” (February 3, 2004)
You may be noticing that this installment of WEE is not, in fact, about Benson. That’s because upon watching the “murder cruise” Benson, I realized that it sucked, and so your last minute substitution is instead about a series that’s never ste...

“The Sponge” (December 7, 1995)
You know one thing Seinfeld did right that many of its metropolitan sitcom imitators didn’t? It had mean gays — specifically Bob and Cedric, a gay couple that shows up three times throughout the series run to exert queer menace on Kramer. They figure ...

You might be as surprised as we were that when Family Matters does a horror episode, they really go for it. As corny as Steve Urkel’s wacky adventures could sometimes be, this Halloween outing has a few effective jump scares, all scattered throughout a stor...

“Seven Little Indians” (January 3, 1987)
It would be ambitious for any sitcom, much less Facts of Life specifically, to attempt a weird episode that not only satirizes 1980s slasher movies but also murder mysteries and also The Twilight Zone. For all that being packed into one 22-minute...
