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 :)
Stargate SG1 S4:E06 Window of Opportunity
Tap for spoiler
Groundhog Day, but Stargate.
Same. I didn’t dare to say it, but since I’m not the only one… I also think that one is an outstanding episode and amongst my favorites. I think the SG-1 writers were crazy anyways. Mixing well-written episodes with the daily grind of almost the same plot happening just on a different planet… for like 10 episodes straight… Then some melodramatic stuff, or more a sitcom in-between. Sometimes it seems they just didn’t give a f— and the main actor wasn’t available so they just made his character invisible… And they made an effort to also sometimes include story arcs, sometimes not, or portray single characters in an episode. All within a very limited and confined format… Because I think a lot of SG-1 has been cheap mass-production.
That sounds awesome. I watched a couple seasons of the original series, never got to SG1
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.
