you know how the cast of **the Big Bang Theory** are always shown together at meals like at the apartment, the Cheesecake Factory or the work canteen? my favourite episode was the one where they sat poking their food without actually eating it. ---

Well there’s that episode of **Angel** where somebody mentions that Angel has a soul but then the person they’re talking to has a hard time believing it. I think at the end Angel proves himself as a good guy and wins over the skeptic, though, IIRC. Or there’s that episode of **Bones** where Booth introduces himself and Brennan to someone new. I think in that one he mentions that she works at the Jeffersonian. I think I remember seeing an episode of **Nancy Grace** where Nan makes some wild assumption without letting the person get their whole story in. In the end she calls the person despicable and says something mildly stupid and at the same time amusing. ---

Deny her what you will, she is brave: there aren’t many people who have the guts to say on air that rapists and pedophiles should go to jail. ---

There was this episode of the **Golden Girls** where Rose told this long rambling story about St. Olaf, then Blanche cut her off with a double entendre. I laughed out loud at that one. I think they might have been eating cheesecake. ---

I think that’s the one where, after Rose finishes her story, Dorothy just stares at her. ---

Hey, remember that episode of **Criminal Minds** when Reid made an obscure reference, and Morgan kicked in a door, after flirting with Garcia? And Hotch agonized over being away from his family? GREAT episode! ---

Remember that episode of Hustle, where Mickey explains his plan to the group, but it all seems to go wrong. Of course, we the audience didn’t get to hear the final bit of Mickey’s plan so what appeared to be a problem was in fact expected all along. Nice one Mickey, boy was I fooled! ---

How about the **Monk** episode where Stottlemeyer has woman trouble, Randy does something stupid, Adrian overcomes one of his phobias and puts it all together at the last minute and gets _the guy_? **Psych** , the one where Shawn makes a load of 80s references, acts like a twat, Gus nearly loses his job, Lassiter threatens to shoot someone, Shawn acts like a twat some more and finally (after the get the guy) comes to understand his dad a bit more? The **Rockford Files** with the car chase, y’know, the one where Jim gets beaten up? ---

How about the **Star Trek** episode where the guy in the red shirt gets killed and McCoy says: “He’s Dead Jim”. And later on Scotty reports to Kirk: “I need more time Captain”. Then the show ends with McCoy joking with Kirk about a certain peculiarity of Vulcans to which Spock lifts an eyebrow and expresses his lack of understanding of Human humor. That’s a classic. ---

My favorite episode of **Game of Thrones** was the one where the main character unexpectedly got killed. You know, that badass who spent most of the season leading the plot in a new direction? Didn’t see that one coming! ---

I watched an old Castle episode the other day, and boy was it amazing. You may remember it as the one where Castle and Beckett had all that awkward sexual tension leading to nothing? Well, they spent the whole episode interviewing suspects, only it turned out that the real criminal totally came out of left field! And there was that subplot about Castle´s family… you remember it, right? ---

My favorite episode of **The Beverly Hillbillies** is when they mentioned Jethro’s 6th grade education, Granny took a sip of ‘Rhumatiz’ Medicine while cooking something with possum fat, and Elly won very tight jeans. My favorite episode of **Law and Order** is where Jack’s assistant asked for “Remand” at the arraignment and the Defense Attorney has a “Motion to Dismiss” a key piece of evidence for the prosecution. ---

Remember when that guy got captured and had to escape? And he managed to do it by macGyvering the things he found in his pocket. Man, I loved that show. Can’t remember the title, though. ---

My favorite episode of **Everybody Loves Raymond** was when the husband did something stupid, and the wife got mad. And then one of their parents was annoying. It was also my favorite episode of **King of Queens.** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-game-my-favorite-episode-of-__-was-the-one-where-__/578739.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-game-my-favorite-episode-of-__-was-the-one-where-__/578739.md?page=4)
