I think CC did some good individual episodes. However, I think he really screwed up when decided to act like there was a reason behind it all when there really wasn't and he just kept throwing twists in to keep everyone guessing. I think I finally figured this out around season 6 but I kept with it to the bitter end for reasons I don't quite understand. There was some good stand alone episodes in the last 3 seasons, but the arcs were absolute drek.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was never an XFiles fan. People were raving about it, but when I finally got around to seeing it, it was the "gross" season, so I wasn't really interested. I saw a few great eps, though, like the one about the guy who knew how everyone was going to die, or my favorite, the one with the crazy suburban homeowner's association (crazy and homeowner's association being a bit redundant)

"Arcadia." Yet another one we watched at the party. And it had Tom Virtue from Even Stevens (and "Ariel")!

So, season 1, then?
Seriously, though, wasn't Toombs a season 1 episode? They brought the ick pretty early by my recollection.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, but that was the good ick. Not the butt genie ick.

I think that it was post season 1. I checked out an ep, didn't really like the gore factor, mentioned it to a friend, who said "you should give it another chance. this has been the gross season"

Yeah, season 1. (Trying this from memory)

Scully: Mulder, I think that's bile.
Mulder: *grimaces* Is there any way I can get this off quickly without belying my cool exterior?

Granted the way Toombs was dispatched season 2 or 3 was even grosser, but I remember there being plenty o' ick from the get go.
I'm trying to imagine which season was the REALLY gross season.

It was the same season. First ep was named "Squeeze", second was named "Tooms".

Tooms was the Flukeman, right?
