I usually start with a big long post but i doubt anyone even reads it so a few of my favourites:

Simpsons - Homer The Heretic
The Sopranos - Long Term Parking
Mad Men - The Suitcase
South Park - All About The Mormons
Twilight Zone - Walking Distance

I'm fine explaining any of these if anyone is curious.

storyline in Season 5 it was just a one episode thing that cleverly used that story as an excuse. Great callback and hilarious episode but one i appreciate less every time i see it.

I get what you're saying, but comedy in this episode is just flawless. So many great lines and the dynamics between Paulie and Christofah is hilarious. It was a shame these 2 didn't get more time together in later seasons. Also despite being a crime drama I always thought Sopranos had a great humour.

They got much more time together in later seasons. Chris and Paulie seemed like a weird combination until Chris was made in Season 3. Every notable Chris and Paulie moment was made after that including Pine Barrens.

Pine Barrens is a great episode but it's a bad answer coz it's the one great filler episode. Don't blame anyone for liking it best but i find that answer really uninteresting when you compare it to the multiple personal growth episodes each season.

Well you asked for a favourite episode, not the best. Despite not being essential to the plotline and character development, it's still the episode I enjoyed the most.

As for Paulie and Christofah I think they should've gotten even more screentime considering how great their dynamics was, but that's just me.

Sorry, my post there wasn't meant to be confrontational. Well anymore than the fact that you were the only one that responded so i was trying to drag out some discussion.

Pine Barrens is a great choice.

Really like your Frasier choices, even though it's the boring, obvious choice: Ham Radio is definitely mine. It might be the funniest tv episode i've seen.

Not seens the Cheers one as i've only watched up to the first episode with Rebecca, Coach not being in it really depressed me and made me slug through the rest of it then i just stopped.

"Ham Radio" is another great "Frasier" episode.

Does anyone have a The Wire best episode? I was thinking:

WARNING: "the wire" spoilers below
3:11 with Stringers death.


but more than anything that just feels notable because i didn't really expect it, at least the way it happened. I can't think of a Pine Barrens or that Fly episode in Breaking Bad ecquivilent in The Wire; any episode that didn't have massive importance in the plot.

That'd be mine aswell .

I always liked the scene when Avon and Stringer were on the rooftop reminiscing about the "good old times" while knowing they had just betrayed one another.

I talked to a member here about exactly that in one of the TV Tournament's i ran about how much it affected me. Especially on a rewatch when i knew exactly what was going to happen.

I feel like Season 3 is the best whenever i'm reminded of it but i prefer Season 4.

Why do you like Face Off best?

Crawl Space might be my favourite,

i've never thought about that. Walt cracking up at the end at the sheer absurdity of the position he's in and the seeming impossibility of him getting out of it is amazing.


Least favourite out of episodes i remember is probably the finale outside of the song choice.

The Americans: "The Magic of David Copperfield V:
The Statue of Liberty Disappears"


WARNING: "The Americans" spoilers below
It was the culmination of the Martha storyline that had been going on from Season 1. It started as a joke storyline, lol Phillip has to seduce and have sex with this unattractive (she's attractive) dull (she was never dull) office chick to get close to the FBI. It evolved into so much more though, at first i was saying this isn't funny anymore can we just drop this then i got completely sucked into the blurred, undefined lines of their relationship. In the first 8 episode strech of Season 4 we learned that Phillip had genuinely fallen in love with her and that Elizabeth was completely aware of this and had to take this without objection since she was the one more devoted to the cause. It ended with the two of them arguing for the first time in about a Season and a half; with Phillip completely exhausted both mentally and psyically looking like he was ready to fall over and die, and Elizabeth seemingly losing her mind having just brutally executed someone she had been working with for months before Gabriel orders both of them to take a break from everything.


I don't think that's the best really, just the end of the best storyline and the ending of that episode was amazing
