Sure was! I knew someone else must have seen it!

Another favorite episode from a diffferent show is the one where they have to break into a computer, and every keystroke causes a beep, they had to type really fast to get past all the firewalls and stuff, and the user interface for the system had a big red “ACCESS DENIED” that changed to a big green “ACCESS GRANTED” when they guessed the right password, with more beeping. That was great.

I remember that one. What struck me as odd, though, was the phone conversations - not once did anybody bother to say “goodbye” when done with the conversation. Buncha rude bastards…

EXACTLY!  
Boy, **Sampiro** , I’m glad you remembered it, too. I thought I had imagined it!

Best wishes,

My favorite episode of The Office was the one where Michael tried to lure people into going to his Cafe Disco room. It was just a fun episode with good music.

My favorite episode of X-Files was the one where A writer attempts to gather details of a convolute alien abduction story from, where each participant has a different version of what actually happened. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space.

My favorite episode of Bonanza was when one of the Cartwright boys (cannot remember which) fell in love with a girl who died tragically in the end.

Was that the one where George was slighted in some minor way and he went to incredible lengths to get his revenge?  
[/QUOTE]

No, no that was the one where George told a little, inconsequential lie, but then had to tell progressively bigger lies to cover up the original lie.

Wait - Is that the one where the husband is some fat schlub, and the wife is someone who would normally be way out of his league?
