What is the single best episode of any TV series that you have ever seen?

[JohnT]

"Yeah, packed full of extras. 100% full Buffy DVD extravaganza goodness. Commentary, behind the scenes, bloopers, etc. Same DVD collection you get, except we get it first."

Bastard!

[Charlemagne120]

If your DVD player is multi-region you could buy them from AmazonUK. They can deliver DVD's to the US, just not video games IIRC.
Season's 5 and 6 on sale here:

Charlemagne120: I was actually going to mention that one in the OP, but "The Contest" sprang into mind as I was typing so I went with that one.

Add another vote for Yesterday's Enterprise, truly outstanding episode.

The episode of Blackadder the Third where he has to try to 'win' the election in a rotten borough, my history teacher showed it to the class in order to educate us about electoral reform in the 19th century.

Simpsons: I love Lisa.

My wife wanted to chip in and say that one of the most non-Buffy memorable TV episodes that she can remember was the Cosby Show episode where all the men became pregnant.

That episode was fantastic! I loved it when one of them (Theo?) gave birth to two 2-liter bottles of soda, and the nurse said "Look, twins!"

A memorable scene (I forget most of the rest of the episode) was the time in Family Guy that Peter was having a day-dream about being on one of those dating shows.
Bachelorette: "If I were ice cream, then how would you eat me?"
Bachelor 1: "I'd lick you up nice and slow..."
Bachelor 2: "I'd gobble you all up, baby!"
Peter: "I'd eat you as fast as I could, before I went flaccid."

[Ben Kenobi]

"Five card stud, nothing wild, and the sky's the limit."

Best episode of an American series: the episode of "The X-Files" in which Peter Boyle plays a life-insurance salesman who can forsee the deaths of the people he meets. The best writing I've ever seen on American TV.

Here, Rufus, somebody just posted this on the SDMB (I cross-posted this thread, of course.) Thought you'd enjoy a little laugh. (for those of you not in the know, the salesman is Clyde):

Clyde: Not that it's any of my business, but autoerotic asphyxiation is a really undignified way to die.
Mulder: What makes you say that?
Clyde: Never mind. Forget I said anything.

There are just too many great episodes of Seinfeld, but Master of my domain might just be the funniest, with Kramer out in no time

The funniest Seinfeld episode is "Not that there's anything wrong with it" episode. Again, the best moment is a Kramer moment - his reaction after Jerry tells him that he's 30ish male and a single, too.

South Park: The one with Tweek Coffee and the Underwear Gnomes.

Mary Tyler Moore: Chuckles Bites the Dust

Yeah, that's "The Outing" and it's a great one too. Check out "The Tape" If you haven't already seen it 'cos that's just as good.
