    It all hinges on a case of hysterical blindness....and some mumbo jumbo
    "Blind Terror" is the first bad episode of season 1, at least in my opinion. This is because the story is built on a lot of psychological mumbo jumbo and REALLY strains credibility past the breaking point.

    A woman witnesses the murder of her friend by someone she trusts. However, as she doesn't want to deal with this, she now has a Conversion Disorder in the form of hysterical blindness AND she cannot recall any of the events. To say this is incredibly unlikely (if not impossible) is an understatement....and basing the episode on such a reaction seems to be reaching. Additionally, the resolution to this by Barnaby Jones, PhD seems awfully ridiculous as well. All in all, a chore to finish and enjoy this one.

    By the way, although a very bad episode, "Uninvited Peril" from season six managed to be worse!
