"In the Closet" is one of my favorites. Ditto for "Radio Free", "Predator", "Stimutacs" (oops, dart in your neck!), and "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch".
Worst candidates include "Chickmate", which simply isn't funny and has WAY too many awkward silences, and "Bizarro", which went under the philosophy that everyone talking & yelling over each other is somehow funny. Well, it wasn't.

"Dearly Beloved Seed" for one of the best. And I know how much hate I'll get for that. **** you guys, that episode kicked ass. Then again, Hesh is my favorite character.

Sealab's such an odd show in terms of quality.
Favorites
I, Robot
Chickmate
Lost in Time
In the Closet
Stimutacs
Tinfins
Vacation (I don't care what anyone says, this worked)
Frozen Dinner (the last one I really enjoyed)
Hate
Waking Quinn, Bizarro and Meet Beck Bristow were pretty bad, and though I wouldn't say I hated every single episode the show generally lost me from ASHDTV onward.

And I think "Bizarro" is probably... hell, it probably is my favorite episode or at least close.
So um... yeah, one of us is weird. Given that it's a majority against the episode, I guess it's me.

While I've gotta agree with you there for the most part, I did find Harry Goz funny.
However, isn't this flamebating?

Best:
Pretty much any season 1 episode, Bizzaro (I loved it), Vacation (this might be my favorite ep of the show-UH-OH), the communism parody, I'm sure there was something in season 4 I'm missing.
Worst:
Fusebox-not the one their trapped in the clost, but the one where it's just a shot of Sealab through 90% of it, and Sadly, pretty much all of them post-Harry Goz's death.

Reading this topic seems to be proof I'm the only post-Goz era fan. >_>

One thing I love about ATHF: it's like the only AS show this board seems to universally love.

BEST: Radio Free Sealab
WORST: ASHDTV (perhaps the worst episode of ANYTHING I've ever seen)

I think people bash ASHDTV for being bad a little too much. I think it's the "So Bad, It's Funny" vibe that is usually found watch a B-movie from the 50's. Plus you can't look back at the talkback thread for it here and laugh. However, Meet Beck Bristow was the unfunniest 11 minute program I ever seen in my life. I never laughed once and I actually recorded over that episode on one my tapes. Which I only did with only two SeaLab episodes. The other being "Isle De La Chupacabra(SP?)".

I gotta go with Beck Bristow over ASHDTV. I think at least with Beck it was a half-decent concept that just didn't work out in execution (jackass hollywood type comes to Sealab and causes chaos). I can't 100% hate any episode with Harry Goz as a total kiss ass sycophant. ASHDTV just was terrible in almost every aspect, it might be the worst William street 11 minute original of all time. The horrible parodys, the stupid.....dragged on forever Spacelab part, the pointlessness of Tornado Shanks, cat dookie, it's really a lesson in what NOT to do when writing a show like this.
I actually didn't hate all Shanks episodes now that I think about it. A few from Season 4 were at least somewhat clever (the backwards one is the only one that comes mind, and I do like how they dropped the accent randomly)
Second half of season 3 though.............................man those sucked.

I agree 100%. I should've put ASHDTV in the worst episodes list.
