Miley Cyrus may be a notable superstar now but back in the day she was another Disney Channel star in the popular series, Hannah Montana. By day she lived a normal life as a Malibu teenager with a best friend, brother, and famous father, and by night she was a trendsetting icon known as Hannah Montana.
Even though critics never loved the series, it still had a pretty rabid fan following. Even now, people still love the series. But that doesn't mean they loved every episode. We're taking a look at the 10 lowest episodes of the show, according to IMDb, which all primarily come from the show's third season although it's not quite clear why.
You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Zit Is About You (1x13)
This early season one episode follows Miley trying to combat a new billboard for Magic Glo skin that shows Hannah Montana with a massive zit. Unfortunately, Miley can't do much about the zit because she had already told Lily "looks don't matter" after she lost her contacts and was forced to wear glasses.
One issue with this episode is it's not believable that a popstar would have her face put on a billboard with a zit still there. The zit should have already been edited out.
Jake... Another Little Piece of My Heart (3x16)
It's somewhat surprising that this episode ranks so low because many fans were adamant supporters of the Jake and Miley romance. Jake Ryan returns in this episode and appears to be getting married to Traci. Once Miley learns this, she does whatever it takes to sabotage the wedding.
But then we find out the entire thing was just a prank to get back on Miley for when she ruined his movie by pretending to be Mikayla. At the end, Jake and Miley share a kiss, proving they're still attracted to one another.
Knock Knock Knockin' on Jackson's Head (3x11)
Jackson gets a serious hit on his head and ultimately experiences amnesia. He pretends to not remember anything about his relationship with Miley. Miley convinces him that he has always been super kind to his sister and praises her frequently instead of tearing her down.
However, her plan backfires as Jackson begins to repel some of the guys that Miley is interested. Ultimately, we find out it was just a prank pulled by Jackson and their dad. It seems like fans didn't like episodes where Miley fell victim to pranks since that is a running theme in a few episodes on this list.
(We're So Sorry) Uncle Earl (2x22)
Uncle Earl arrives for a visit after lots of chatter about him over the years. He wants to follow his dream of becoming a rock star and who better to ask for help than his pop star neice, Hannah Montana?
Miley is embarrased about Earl, however, and doens't want him to join her on stage, especially because a tough critic will be in audience. Ultimately, she lets him perform with her and even gets a good review. Gilbert Gottfried and David Koechner guest star in this episode.
You Give Lunch a Bad Name (3x12)
The kids are watched by Mawmaw for a while as Robby Ray has decided to attend his high school reunion. While there, she decides to take over a job as the lunch lady at their high school. Unfortunately, this causes serious embarrassment for both Miley and Jackson.
The only way they can think of to deal with the issue is to disguise Jackson as a health inspector who could come in and shut Mawmaw's practice down for good. They wind up hurting her feelings of course, but the family reconciles by the end.
The Idol Side of Me (1x24)
In the first season of the series, the show still had its school "mean girls." But they were fans of Hannah Montana. At one point, Amber wanted to enter a contest called Singing With the Stars where she could win the chance to sing along with Hannah. Miley mistakenly believes Amber is a bad singer and helps her win to humiliate her on TV.
When she finds out Amber can sing, Miley and Lily concoct a trick entrance. Ultimately, Miley feels bad and goes through the trickery herself so Amber doesn't get embarrassed. Many fans were disappointed that Amber and Ashley didn't finally get a taste of their own medicine.
Papa's Got a Brand New Friend (3x09)
Hannah is put in a tough position when her choreographer gets injured and she finds out that she will have to hire a new one. Except the new choreographer is extremely difficult to work with, complicating matters.
Meanwhile, Oliver needs advice on how to break up with his girlfriend. This episode begins to set the stage for what will eventually become the Oliver and Lily relationship.
Killing Me Softly With His Height (3x05)
In this episode, Miley starts dating a new guy named Connor. The problem is, Connor is much shorter than her and Miley feels embarrassed by this fact. But she agrees to date him anyway so she doesn't appear like a hypocrite after chastising Oliver for having similar complaints about a girl he was interested in. Eventually, she and Connor go out and Miley likes him but doesn't kiss him due to his height.
By episode's end, she apologizes to him for thinking that way and the two reconcile. It winds up being a short-lived relationship anyway but Miley learns another lesson about being less judgmental.
Come Fail Away (3x26)
Miley wants to branch out in her career and audition for an animated role. But seeing as its something she's never done before, she's not exactly sure how to nail her audition. She winds up getting assistance from someone who is killed at voice acting. This leads to several hijinks involving Miley taking a duck home so she can study the sounds it makes. Ultimately, she doesn't get the job but she does try to convince the auditioner to give her another chance, to which he gives her a resounding no.
B-B-B-Bad to the Chrome (3x22)
The focus of this episode is on Mawmaw missing her old car. After she drives cross-country in it, the Stewarts wind up trying to convince her that she deserves a new car. But Mawmaw gets angry and upset because they don't understand how important it is to her.
Ultimately they're forced to get another "Loretta" and damage it enough to make it look like her old car. Upon realizing it is merely a fake, Mawmaw finally relents into getting a new vehicle altogether.
