Favourite Episode of your Favourite shows?

simple , out of the shows you like , which episodes have you liked the most?

for me

Waterloo Road - Series 7 Episode 6 - when Sam died , great acting and a great story behind it.

Friends - either the last episode or the one where Rachel gives birth.

Family Guy - when Brian and Stewie get locked into a vault together.

Big Ban Theory - when Howard and Bernadette get married.

Really hard.

Red Dwarf is the only one i can pinpoint any specifics. Probably "Back to Reality" in Series Five where they believe they have been in fact playing a computer game of their lives rather than living them. "Quarantine" and "Out of Time" and "Meltdown" are all very good too.

Six Feet Under- Either 'That's my Dog' Series 4 Ep 5 or 'Everyone's Waiting' the finalie, both are the are two of the only episodes of TV to move me to tears, terrific TV

Dr Who- For the revived series, The Eleventh Hour or The Time of Angels, Matt Smith is defiantly my doctor

There is an episode of the Sopranos where they do an intervention on Christopher over his drug use. Can't remember the series or number but that is my favourite

Red Dwarf - Gunmen of the Apocalypse
Grimm - Final Episode of Season 1
Sherlock - final episode of season 2
Family Guy - Road to the Multiverse

Simpsons - the Flaming Moe
Married with Children - Santa falls to his death in the Bundy's backyard and Al has to pose as him
South Park - Cartman cooks Scott's parents
Young Ones - University Challenge

Forgot about The Office & Alan Partridge.

Favourite Partridge is when he impales his foot on the fence.

Would go along with the guitar episode of The Office but the one with David Brent's motivational presentation deserves mentioning.

That is genuinely my second favourite. "Lynne, I've put my foot on a spiiiiike".

That is the one with the Saffer as well when Partridge has a conference table made out of an old toilet door and a light made of black and decker torches. Such a good episode.

The tomato line nearly made my sofa unusable for a few hours.

Yeah, ever since that episode I have to say pyrotechnics in a South African accent. It's impossible not to.

Saffer: "You can't"
Partridge (all indignant): "You can't say that!"
Saffer: "No, Alan. You can't"
Partridge (even more indignant): "You said it again!".

"pyrotechnics" is a step above the normal "diplomatic immunity" cringefest/borefest

Good episode but 'Backwards' from series 3 is a stand out for me, as is 'Better Than Life' from series 2. Love those 2 episodes.

Red Dwarf - Backwards
Only Fools - Mother Natures Son
Cheers - A Good Ole Fashioned Wedding - Woody and Kelly get married
Frasier - A Tsar is born or Travels With Martin
Inbetweeners - Thorpe Park episode
The Simpsons - The one where Homer is the baseball mascot for Capitol City or the one where Homer gives up Church (Homer The Heretic)

Game of Thrones - The Rains of Castamere

hornbloweroafc wrote:Game of Thrones - The Rains of Castamere

I didn't get the shock value as I only saw the episode a few days after it was aired as sky + didn't record it due to the gap week - the day before I saw it I was scrolling through the Daily Mail looking for angry articles and I saw a still taken right at the start of the climax to the episode which made it pretty obvious what happened.  Serves me right for going onto the DM website.

FAMILY GUY - the scene where Peter is talking to Chris and tries throwing a frog through the window, misses and spends ages trying to scrape it up the wall and out. Dunno why but it cracks me up every time.

THE CLEVELAND SHOW - Cleveland first meets his new neighbour
"Aarghh, a bear!"
"Aarghh, a black guy. See? Not nice is it?"

PARTRIDGE - where he's shameless promoting "Schprunt" and getting all excited about the arrival of "Hot Pants" only to discover they're a troupe of gay men.

Doctor Who - The Girl Who Waited

Heroes - .07%

Misfits - Christmas Special

Black Mirror - 15 Million Merits

Peep Show - The Wedding one

Sherlock - Reichenbach Fall

Peep Show's another good call, one of those shows I enjoy but always forget about. The Xmas episode is my particular favourite, the one where Jeremy pretends he hasn't bought a turkey, had to pause it after that scene until the crying stopped.

For me it's where Jez is literally pi$$ing himself in Church, where Mark gets the s**ts after Jez gives him too much cold medicine or the one where Jez takes a bite out of the burnt dog.

Yeah I did put Wedding and Christmas one at first, but decided to settle on the Wedding. The "Christmas joke" is my favourite Peep Show scene though. I think the Stag Do episode is also excellent where they end up eating half-cooked dog.

Peep Show is easily the best sitcom on TV for me.

Men Behaving badly - when they go to a rave and gary spews on the camera

Frasier - Where Niles and Daphne dance the tango

Frasier - where he's dating a supermodel and no-one believes him. If you've seen it you'll know why "So, what do you think of me now?" is quite possible the funniest line in the history of television.

That's when he has taken a photo of her asleep to prove who she is then she comes back in to get the camera isn't it? He acts all smug once they have finally seen her. Love that episode.

I like the bit at the beginning when he is on the plane and he sits next to that blonde woman thinking he's pulled then she introduces her husband!!

I like the one where he's been leaving messages for some woman, realises he's too keen and plays them back asking his brother if they sound ok
"There's perhaps a whiff of desperation"
*Two messages later*
"How quickly a whiff becomes a stench"

 Yeh I like that one. I was watching the episode where Woody comes to visit him last night. Love Woody.

I love the Ski lodge episode of Frasier where they all fancy each other and are going in and out of the rooms.

Old school slapstick at its best.

My favourite line from Frasier (hard to narrow down though) is where he is composing his own jingle with a full orchestra:

Niles: have you ever heard of the saying "less is more"?
Frasier: Yes but if less is more, then just think how much more, more is!

genius!

Totally agree, very very clever whilst also remaining very funny. Also liked the episode with Daphne and Niles alone in his house during a storm and Frasier going spare trying to stop them getting together

I love Frasier!

Love the episode where Daphne pretends Niles is her husband when her ex-fiancee arrives.

When asked what he used to do, Marty says "I was an Astronaut!"

Another really great episode of Frasier is where he is trying to put on a radio play - once again, farce at its best.

that was the great thing about Frasier - it could be really high brow at times but also be very slapstic/ farcical.

Ham Radio. Love that episode!! When Niles goes off on a tangent at the end and kills all the characters.

Frasier: (in a spooky voice) Nightmare Inn.
Martin: Oh, don't tell me, I know. A bunch of people get caught in a storm and everyone's wondering who's gonna be the first one murdered.
Frasier: Exactly. And I'm going to direct.
Niles: So we can stop wondering.

[Roz and Frasier are acting in a live performance of a radio drama.]
Roz: "There's someone outside that window!"
Frasier: "Why, yes, Ms. Thorndyke, it appears to be"...[cues organ music, but calliope music plays instead]... the ice cream truck!

Bulldog brings his dyslectic girlfriend to be in the play. "Look out, he's got a nug"!!

The other farcical episode i like is when Frasiers girlfriend brings her mother round and they all have to pretend to be Jewish. They then catch Niles in the bathroom dressed as Jesus

i really liked the episode of Family Guy when Brian and Stewie were locked into a vault and it was a two hander episode , it was just great to see them be so open with each other.

The final episode of The Wire - the musical montage at the end where you see characters start to repeat the history of the previous 5 years.

The Sopranos - the Pine Barrens - Chris and Paulie Walnuts stuck in the forest - genius!

Alan Partridge - either the one where he pisses off the farmers or the one with the stalker and "dere's more to Oireland dan dis".

Good idea for a thread.

Bottom - "Accident" Eddie drunkenly rantly at Walter the Emmerdale extra

Eddie "That's him, that's the one, b*****d, I hate him."

Dave Hedgehog "Who?"

Eddie "The extra. He never says anything he just drinks all day. Look at him, look, he's gonna buy another drink."

Hedgehog "Is that his own money?"

Eddie "No, no. They fill his pockets full of change, push him into the Woolpack and shout 'Go on mate, drink as much as you like.Then at closing time, the give him wage packet....LUCKY B4$T4RD!!!!"

The West Wing. Picking one episode from any of the first three series is difficult, but 'In Excelsio Dio' and 'Two Cathedrals' were both outstanding.

Band of Brothers - A thoroughly excellent series, but probably reaches its peak at episodes 6 (Bastogne) and 7 (The Breaking Point)

Was a great series, personal favourites were Day of Days & Crossroads. Enjoyed it the first time I watched it but hated the last two episodes saying how far-fetched they were then discovered that it's based on first hand accounts of Easy Company.

Nearly listed Day of Days as a favourite as well, but since there were only 10 episodes, listing 3 would have been too much. To be honest, you could basically pick any from episodes 2 to 8 as the highlights. First episode, focussing on training and the run up to D Day felt almost like a pilot episode from other series, being used to introduce the characters, while the last episode was just a bit 'after the Lord Mayor's show' and an excuse for some location filming round the Alps. Episode 9, where they discovered the concentration camp is a bit of a curious one - agree that if it had not been based on real events it would have felt way too far fetched, but I also struggled with the portrayal of the Germans as such an apathetically beaten enemy.

Friday Night Lights-The Son

The best episode of a brilliant 5 series.

I also like The Newsroom episode that takes part of the film Rudy, such as the jersey scene, but applies it to their situation. Really enjoyed that.
