What is your favourite episode of a TV show, and why? (self.asklemmy)

I was recently rewatching the IT Crowd, which is one of my favourite shows and after finishing Season 2 Episode 1, "The Work Outing" for the hundredth of time I realized this is probably my favourite sitcom episode of all time. I just can't get bored of the jokes and the delivery. The writing is gold, and the story escalates from funny to absolutely insane hilarious. Makes me laugh every time. Half the dialogue I quote to this day.

There are many good episodes I love, and could put here as close seconds: probably most of the Futurama series, a dozen of episodes of The Office or some classics from the Friends, I could think of.

So I would like to hear what episodes of any TV show is your favourites and why? Doesn't needs to be necessarily comedy, anything from television is fair game.

Think of it as a "what single item would you bring to a desert island with you" question, just with an episode of a TV show :)

Ha, self burn :) It was ages ago and never got too far into it, I just know there are multiple series and made a guess.

The ones that matter are SG1, Atlantis, and Universe.

Ahem

The ones that matter are SG-1 (until buff Daniel) and Atlantis.

Strongly disagree, Universe is my favorite Stargate. They got a lot of the great stuff from Stargate and managed to put it together with a lot of the great stuff in Battlestar Galactica.

OG Stargate was always about exploration and discoveries, something they eventually forgot on SG-1 and that Atlantis never really followed. If any one of the 3 is getting dropped it should be Atlantis, it's the least Stargatey of all of the Stargates.
