Best episode of any TV show of all time? (1 Viewer)

[Chunky Soup]

Lots of great episodes over the years. Wondering what the best of the best are though. In no order, this is a few of what I've always considered to be the best.

Wonder Years -- Birthday Boy (Bar Mitzvah episode)

Seinfeld -- The Betrayal (India episode that moves backward in time)

The Office -- Threat Level Midnight

Scrubs -- My Musical ("It's guy love..." episode)

Lost -- Finale (It's all a dream episode)

 

[Eric Stratton]

The one when the castaways almost were rescued but Gilligan messed it up.

 

[Zow]

Scott Tennerman

 

[GroveDiesel]

I don't know that it was the best ever, but it caught me off guard with how choked up I got: The Futurama episode with Fry's dog.

 

[Eric Stratton]

WKRP- "Turkeys Away"

 

[Leroy Hoard]

The 3's Company where there was some crazy mixup due to a misunderstanding.

Ouff...

The Wire - Season 3 Epi- 11

The Sopranos - Pine Barrens

Everything else...

 

[gollum]

WKRP- "Turkeys Away"

guy love was awesome though. That scrubs also had "everything comes down to poo"
- guy lovehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsVgi8hoFFc - everything comes down to poo

 

[Jutz]

Happy Days episodes with Leather Tuscadero, AKA Suzi Quatro, the inspiration for The Runaways and Joan Jett.

She was soooooo coool... I was in with her.

 

[Jutz]

The 3's Company where there was some crazy mixup due to a misunderstanding.

Doooooood... I saw that one!!!

 

[iamsmilin]

Buffy - Hush

 

[Trey]

So I can see putting The Office & Lost on the list if you really enjoy the shows, but come on now.

Office take Niagara (the wedding). Lost take Through the Looking Glass (introduction of the flashforward).

And I'll add a nod to the 24 Season 1 Finale.

 

[Moe.]

Deadwood - Mr. Wu

Any random episode of The Simpsons from Season 3 to Season 7 is better than anything on your list.

 

[Jobber]

Battlestar Galactica where Adama takes back the ship from the mutineers.

 

[Doug B]

Someone's going to nominate "Once More With Feeling", Buffy the Vampire Slayer's musical episode ... so it might as well be me. Sounds cheesy, but it's actually pretty impressive.

 

[Chaka]

I don't know that it was the best ever, but it caught me off guard with how choked up I got: The Futurama episode with Fry's dog.

Never expected that from a show like Futurama.

 

[Jutz]

Happy Days episodes with Leather Tuscadero, AKA Suzi Quatro, the inspiration for The Runaways and Joan Jett.She was soooooo coool... I was in with her.

Actually... after further deliberation, I decided to change my vote to the Hawaii Brady Bunch with Vincent Price and the Tarantula.

 

[gollum]

I actually love The Office Season 1 - Health Care

it is what got me hooked

 

[Sarnoff]

The West Wing: "Somebody's Going To Emergency, Somebody's Going To Jail"

I second "Scott Tenorman Must Die" for South Park. My Seinfeld pick is "The Marine Biologist", just ahead of "The Contest".

Going old school: The Mary Tyler Moore Show: "Chuckles Bites the Dust". And, in my mind, the best "episode" of The Honeymooners aired as part of The Jackie Gleason Show, the episode "This Is Your Life".

 

[koby925]

The Wire - Season 3 Epi- 11The Sopranos - Pine BarrensEverything else...

I was coming in to post these twoI'd add Dexter Season 4 Episode 9 Hungry Man (the Thanksgiving episode). I am only through season 4 but this was my favorite episode yet. And the last 4 of season 4 may be the best 4 show stretch ever.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Any random episode of The Simpsons from Season 3 to Season 7

 

[Carver]

The Season before the last finale of The Shield should be mentioned too.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Happy Days episodes with Leather Tuscadero, AKA Suzi Quatro, the inspiration for The Runaways and Joan Jett.She was soooooo coool... I was in with her.

Actually... after further deliberation, I decided to change my vote to the Hawaii Brady Bunch with Vincent Price and the Tarantula.

Fred & LaMont being duped into smuggling diamonds out of Hawaii was good too.

 

[Sarnoff]

Any random episode of The Simpsons from Season 3 to Season 7

If you turn on a Simpsons rerun, and you see "Producer: Conan O'Brien" in the opening credits, sit down and watch 'cause it's gonna be awesome.But if I had to pick just one, "Last Exit to Springfield" is pretty great. ("Dental Plan! Lisa needs braces!")

 

[SouthJersey]

Office -- where Michael had a roast

Agree with Sopranos Pine Barren episode

Curb your Enthusiasm -- huge vag1na episode

 

[koby925]

Other good ones:

Family Ties where Alex's friend (who was never mentioned before) dies

Diffrent Strokes child molesting episode

 

[Jutz]

Fred & LaMont being duped into smuggling diamonds out of Hawaii was good too.

At some point, I'll bet the phrase YOU BIG DUMMY!!! was said during this episode.

 

[Dvorak]

I'm probably outing myself here (NTTAWWT)...

The O.C. - The Rainy Day Women

 

[General Malaise]

Lost -- Finale (It's all a dream episode)

That's how they chose to end this thing? Good god, I'm glad I gave up on this one after a year and change.

 

[Foosball God]

Fawlty Towers - The Germans

 

[Jutz]

Diffrent Strokes child molesting episode

He :dramaticpause: he touched me

 

[iamsmilin]

Someone's going to nominate "Once More With Feeling", Buffy the Vampire Slayer's musical episode ... so it might as well be me. Sounds cheesy, but it's actually pretty impressive.

This was my other thought but you know, Hush is better because it's hard to have good writing without writing.

 

[ODoyleRules]

Get A Life - Meat Locker episode

 

[Hoart Petterson]

Emily's Reasons Why Not - Premiere & Finale (same show)

 

[SouthJersey]

What's Happening -- Rerun gets caught trying to make a bootleg tape at the Doobie Brothers concert

 

[Doug B]

A classic episode of All in the Family is the one in which Archie Bunker meets his new black neighbor, George Jefferson. Sorry for the short clip . There were things said in that episode's script that were earth-shattering at the time, and would never sniff prime-time in 2011.

Here's some more Archie-vs-George from another episode.

The All in the Family

was another classic.

 

[General Malaise]

Partial to the episode in Cheers where Sam recruits Kevin McHale to team up with Woody and beat Gary's Old Town Tavern's 'ringers'.

Also, the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry forgets his girlfriends name is up there for me.

And who can forget the episode of 90210 featuring the Flaming Lips!

 

[Trey]

I'm probably outing myself here (NTTAWWT)...The O.C. - The Rainy Day Women

 

[TobiasFunke]

Any random episode of The Simpsons from Season 3 to Season 7

I nominate Marge vs. the Monorail as the representative from this group.

 

[PIK95]

Scott Tennerman

Maybe.One of the original V episodes was $.Drama plowing away wearing an animal suit while Turtle peeked in the window was $$.First Miami Vice.

 

[Carver]

Deadwood - Mr. Wu

Good one.But a better Episode of Deadwood was Dan Doherty vs. The Captain

 

[Twilight]

Someone's going to nominate "Once More With Feeling", Buffy the Vampire Slayer's musical episode ... so it might as well be me. Sounds cheesy, but it's actually pretty impressive.

This was my other thought but you know, Hush is better because it's hard to have good writing without writing.

You can't go wrong with either, or "The Body"

 

[Jaysus]

The Norm Show - Norm vs. Christmas

 

[shuke]

Twin Peaks season 1 episode 2 "Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer"

Something from Lost season 1 or 2.

Something from The Wire season 3.

 

[shader]

The episode where Jack says "We've got to go back"....(end of season 3?)

that one was awesome. The last one? ehhh..not so much.

 

[sho nuff]

The West Wing: "Somebody's Going To Emergency, Somebody's Going To Jail"

So many from TWW IMO...Season 1 finale, in the Shadow of 2 Gunmen and its finishing part to begin season 2 was incredible. Got me watching the show religiously.

 

[PIK95]

Diffrent Strokes child molesting episode

He :dramaticpause: he touched me

That freaked me out as a kid. Great ep though. The Lost with Good Vibrations was the best.

 

[PIK95]

Deadwood - Mr. Wu

Good one.But a better Episode of Deadwood was Dan Doherty vs. The Captain

Yes on both.

 

[Doug B]

Partial to the episode in Cheers where Sam recruits Kevin McHale to team up with Woody and beat Gary's Old Town Tavern's 'ringers'.

Also, the one with Cliff Claven on Jeopardy!
