The episode of _The Walking Dead_ where zombies pop out of somewhere totally unexpected and eat someone.

The episode of _Game of Thrones_ where there’s that big betrayal.

The episode of _Mad Men_ where Don Draper scores with the hot chick he just met.

The episode of _ **CSI** _ where the victim died a weird death was better.

Years ago in the newspaper TV listings I saw an episode of _Keeping Up Appearances_ described as “Hyacinth fears her relatives will embarrass her.”

I thought it was Janet and Chrissy overhearing Jack, or am I thinking of a different episode?

There was that episode of _The Incredible Hulk_ where Banner managed to slip out of sight just before transforming so no one knew he was the Hulk.

Y’all are misremembering - it was Jack and Chrissy, in that episode where the landlord’s wife made that funny crack about not getting laid.

Reminds me of that episode of Mod Squad where the three partners bickered a bit, before resolving their differences by the end of the show.

Like in that episode of _ **The Adventures of Superman** _ where Clark Kent ducked into the storage room and emerged as the Man of Steel!

The episode of Law & Order (I forget which branch) where they interviewed a whole bunch of people before realizing the bad person was the first person they interviewed. What a tiwst!

Or was that on Criminal Minds?

You mean the episode in which Fraser explained how he first came to Chicago in pursuit of the man who killed his father?
