    From Ubiquitous@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 18 04:30:51 2025
    Join me as I dive into the world of classic sitcoms and explore what's often considered the WORST episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show EVER! Even Dick Van
    Dyke hates this! From cringe-worthy jokes to the awkward plotline, I'll
    dissect what makes this episode a misfire. But is it really as bad as
    everyone says? Let's find out together!

    I agree. A lot of commenters are fingering "The Lady or the Tiger or the >Lawyer," but "The Bad Old Days" was the one that made me shake my head.

    I'm guessing older viewers complained about mouthy Laura henpecking Rob
    and making him do her work, so they thought they should respond. I saw
    it as an adult in the 80s, and it didn't play well to me.

    I have no memory of this ep, but I recognise his turn-of-the-century
    outfit and mustach, for some reason.
