My uncle's 'watch the worst episode first' rule changed my whole rewatch habit

My uncle Bill told me about 5 years ago that the best way to get into a bad show is to start with the worst rated episode on IMDb, not the pilot. He said if you survive that, everything else feels like a masterpiece. I tried it with a cheesy 90s cop drama that had a 4.1 episode about a haunted vending machine. Somehow he was right, that episode hooked me because it was so dumb I had to see if the show got any dumber. Now I do that with every terrible show I pick up, and it's made trash TV way more fun. Has anyone else tried this or do you just power through the pilot like a normal person?

Haunted vending machine sounds weak, I did it with a zombie rom-com and never looked back.
