Never mind.
Grey’s Anatomy A two parter: “It’s the End of the World” and “As We Know It”, about the guy who comes into the Emergency Ward with the bomb lodged in his chest.
Oh, my, yes, I’d do the same.
Was that before or after he played Sticks Mandalay on the show?
Twin Peaks Pilot episode.
YES.
Win.
I mean Whose Line is Great period. But Richard Simmons…
I mean, This show is shown in reruns on ABC FAMILY.
F A M I L Y .
Explain that!
Annie, Thought occurs to me though.
Whose Line was not ““Written””.
But, Best Episode of US Whose Line, nonetheless.
I’m showing my age here. (Or lack thereof)
The finale of Newhart, or The Bob Newhart Show.
The More recent of the two.
I expect a fellow SD to help me out here.
Oh hey, look!
Meeko points to a Can of worms.
The label says “I Love Lucy”.
That’s a funny label for a can of worms.
Maybe it’s because I watched it last year on YouTube and not in the 70s on TV, but the Popsicle Twins didn’t seem all that dirty to me.
There were a few seconds where my eyes bugged out when I realized that got on broadcast TV, but for the most part it was two teenage girls eating popsicles and there’s really only one way to do that.
The pilot of Freaks and Geeks. Absolutely perfect in every way.
Nope. No Xander. If Cassie had replaced with Tara, and if Xander had been visited by Jesse (presuming, of course, that Jesse had ever been acknowledged after dying), then it would have been perfect instead of great.
My Screw-Up, as mentioned. It and My Lunch, the episode I named, are generally considered Scrubs’ two best, and both are about Dr. Cox coping with senseless death.
I don’t love The Boondocks series, but “A Date with the Health Inspector” is fantastic. It’s by far the best Iraq War parody I’ve seen, with Samuel L. Jackson as a thug version of Donald Rumsfeld, Charlie Murphy as wannabe-thug version of George W. Bush, and throws in a Monty Python spoof that came out of nowhere and cracked me up.
I seem to recall reading that the Buffy people wanted Amber Benson to come back for that episode, but she declined because it would be too upsetting. I think she might have been right about that, too. The First Evil’s “messages” from Tara passed along to Willow were upsetting enough as it was.
It was covered by the papers!
I believe you’re right, but I don’t like it. It’s always felt cheap to me that she was visited by someone who she didn’t even have much interaction with when Tara had just died a dozen episodes previously. Buffy’s conversation with Holden is acceptable because Joyce was haunting Dawn and she didn’t really have any other dead people in her past that wasn’t a vampire, and we didn’t need another Angel cameo.
It’s just one of my peeves.
Quantum Leap: “Justice”, when Sam leaps into a member of the Ku Klux Klan. You can actually feel the anger and disgust that Sam feels for the situation he has been put into and the helplessness he feels when things look bad. Out of such an amazing series, that was the episode that stuck out for me the most.
The Wire - That’s Got His Own
Arrested Development - Afternoon Delight
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Sweet Dee’s Dating A Retarded Person
Seinfeld - The Betrayal
The Simpsons - Homer at the Bat
Battlestar Galactica - Scar. A few different establishing shots give the whole show a different feel, and watching Starbuck turning into an emotional wreck because she found something worth living for (the anti-Sheridan) was a treat.
lexx - the beach: stanely tweedle dies. and is a jerk.
