The Bob Newhart Show : the Thanksgiving episode when the guys got drunk and ordered Chinese food. “That’s der Robert Hartley. D-R-period. Der.”
Newhart : Any scene with Larry, Darryl and Darryl.
Married With Children : It’s a Bundyful Life with Sam Kinnison as the Angel, and Al decides to live just to spite Peg, Kelly and Bud.
And now for a dose of the late 80s/early 90s:
Saved by the Bell: Screech beats Zack (who is disguised as “the Russian” Screech was supposed to be playing with) in the chess championship, then the Russian hops on stage, tied up and in his underwear.
Full House: Uncles Jesse and Joey attempt to take care of a baby Michelle, including holding her over the sink to wash her off, wrapping her in paper towel and slipping her into an oranges bag. Or when DJ gets beer sprayed on her at a school dance and Uncle Jesse thinks it was her who was drinking.
Boy Meets World: Graduation.
Family Matters: Tough call…Steve going undercover to join the gang that vandalized Rachel’s Place, maybe. Or Steve boxing Willie Fuffner: “Just stay down!”
3rd Rock From the Sun: Harry and the turkey.
Drew Carey: Drew goes on a hunger strike (to get a bridge from the store to the parking garage across the street?) but isn’t losing any weight. Finally, Mr. Wick comes over to the house and finds a skinny bodied, fat faced Drew, but it’s really a combination of Drew hiding in the couch and the wiry pizza boy.
Roseanne: Touch call again…the tornado, Becky and her friend MAKING tornadoes and getting drunk, Darlene reading her poem (already mentioned), Jackie in the play, Roseanne talking to God after Dan’s heart attack, Darlene telling David she’s pregnant, the final monologue.
Mama’s Family: Mama goes nuts with the home shopping channel, or riding the wrecking ball
Home Improvement: “Who’s Leon?”
Sports Night: “You’re wearing my shirt, Gordon,” is a good suggestion. I also like the Passover seder, Jeremy’s interview, Dan’s “apology,” and the scene at the end of the first season with Dana’s meltdown and Isaac’s return: “You idiot! There’s no such thing as an overnight ring cleaner’s, Gordon and I broke up!”
And the Nickelodeon block:
Salute Your Shorts: Donkeylips trying to lose weight by running back and forth to the burger stand and smuggling food back to the rest of the group.
Doug: Doug rides the ferris wheel with Patti.
Inspector Gadget: Gadget goes in the Cone of Seclusion on the fake game show. “Rob. The. Armored. Car.”
Rocko’s Modern Life: Spunky falls in love with a mop.
Not Nick, but Reboot: The RPG with Mike the TV.
For me with Reboot, it’s a toss-up between Enzo’s birthday party (“Glitch: BFG.”) and the season three episode where Matrix and his ladyfriend go up against the three corrupted Guardians.
Frasier: The Klingon Bar Mitzvah-speech.
Twin Peaks: The owls are not what they seem. </log lady>
Joan of Arcadia: Helen reading Adam his mother’s suicide note.
I miss that show. 
Frasier: The sequence of Niles silently ironing his pants was good, but he also had a great nonverbal bit when he’s hiding behind a gay tabloid outside of a gay bar (I forget who he was hiding from). When the other person goes away, he lowers the newspaper, looks at it, realizes what it is, grimaces and frantically throws it away. Hard to describe, but very funny (and a bit ironic, since DHP is gay).
Welcome Back, Kotter: “Horshack means ‘The cattle are dying.’”
Friends: Ross as the Hanukkah Armadillo.
Seinfeld: “Deloressssssssssssss!”
Rhoda: “This is Carlton, your doorman.”
Roseanne–Dan walks into the bathroom, sees Roseanne and her sister Jackie and a home pregnancy test.
Dan: Jackie, this can happen to anyone. You just have to tell him outright.
Roseanne: Yes, I was just telling her that. You have to say “I think I’m pregnant, Dan.”
Dan: Well, Fisher (Jackie’s boyfriend).
Roseanne: Dan
Dan: Fisher
Roseanne: DAN
Dan: Oh, jeez, when did this happen?
Roseanne: When we were having sex?
Everybody Loves Raymond–The scene where Marie backs the car into Ray and Deborah’s house and Robert is the responding police officer.
Oh gosh. I remember how hard that one hit me. Think it was my first experience of seeng a ‘non-funny’ moment in a sitcom and realizing the impact of it. Wow.
Another from Rosanne. I don’t remember the exact circumstance, but I believe Dan went out and pounded the living snot out of someone who had hurt Jackie. He comes back, his knuckles bloodied, and Rosanne yells at him: “I thought you said you were just going to talk!”
“We did talk!”
“What did he say?”
“I don’t know. Something about ‘my face! my face!’”
I wanted to cheer for Dan at that moment.
I really enjoyed Roseanne… for awhile. When it was good, it was very, very good, but it went downhill in its last year or two.
My favorite moment from the show was when Roseanne and Jackie went together to the same psychologist. The shrink asked Jackie if she had anything on her mind and Jackie went off on an extended rant about her issues with her mom, her dad, her job, her life, etc. that ended practically in a primal scream. There was a moment of stunned silence, and then Roseanne said to the shrink, “You better call for backup!”
The Shield had a few aside from the obvious end of the first episode (obscured to prevent spoilers):
Vic interrogating the pedophile in the first episode. “Good cop and bad cop just left. I’m a different kind of cop.”
Dutch and the cat.
Aceveda getting caught off guard by a couple of gang thugs and suffering keenly for it.
Lem and Shane’s last moment together.
OK, we’ve had a few Sopranos ones so far, all good. I thought it would be the moment when Adrianna gets whacked, but thinking about it more, there is one moment that summed up the Sopranos for me.
It’s the episode where Tony is trying to get the Orthodox Jews to sign over the motel, and you get the wonderful dialogue involving the motel owner talking of the seige of Masada, then asking “And where are the Romans now, huh?”
Tony replies, “You’re looking at them, asshole.”
It’s not just the line itself, its the expression on Tony’s face as he says it.
The Holiday Armadillo is one from Friends, but Friends has so many of them for me. Still, it was one of the first one from friends that I thought of. (Made me *really *laugh the first time I saw it, which is rare for me.)
Gods yes, both of those.
I can’t seem to find a whole lot of Frasier clips on Youtube. I assume they got yanked? I definitely can’t find the Niles ironing bit.

Two ending bits from Roseanne: The one when they are watching the OJ trial and at the end “Marsha Clark” (played by Laurie Metcalf) comes out of the TV. She was perfect.
The second is the one where Roseanne is surprised in bed by Bruce Willis (who roomed with John Goodman when they both were poor, starving actors).
YES!! I love her speech. G’kar’s speech at the end of the series was good too (and I can’t remember which ep that was in but I have the entire text of the speech printed up somewhere).
Roseanne - the Connors find out that DJ has been skipping out to go to church. Since he’s found religion, Roaseanne tries to accomodate him without going over the edge. Dan on the other hand, doesn’t want to have anything to do with his son turning into a fundie.
The scene: Dan is reading the paper while DJ comes over to talk to him. “Dad, don’t you have a cousin who’s very religious?” Dan mumbles “yes.” DJ then asks “I’d like to write to him. Can I have his address?” Dan replies “no.” DJ asks “Why not?” Dan says “Because he might come here.”
Cheers - Woody’s wedding “Paging Dr Daniels, Dr Jack Daniels”
Sesame Street - Bill Cosby doing the alphabet
Electric Company - “Hey You Guys!”
Just adding in my uber-dorky cent-and-a-half.
The X-Files: “Dear diary, today my heart leapt when Agent Scully suggested spontaneous human combustion…”
DS9: “I’M NOT PICARD!”
Firefly: “What does that make us?”
“Big damn heroes, sir.”
“Ain’t we just.”
Animaniacs: “We’ll sell that man a box of cookies, or die trying! Or try dying! Or do some tie-dying!!”
Do a Search for “Niles pants”, and you’ll find it (A Valentine for Niles)
