I loved that episode so much, also the Gordon Gatrell designer shirt one. Childhood shows that stayed with me- the Family Ties when they turn their house into a hotel while the parents are out of town. Kate & Allie, the episode based on the Maltese Falcon.

Recent shows- Hodor, Game of Thrones. The episode of Breaking Bad with Hal and Walt facing off in the desert. The Sopranos episode when Tony takes Meadow to look at colleges. I think my taste in shows has gotten darker since I was a kid.

"There was a kangeroo in the living room." I haven't seen that many episodes of FT (not old enough to have watched it when it originally aired) but I did catch a rerun of that episode once as a middle schooler & still love that one line more than 15 years later. The way the dad says it cracks me up just thinking about it!

To the poster who mentioned Dule Hill-there was an episode of the show Robin Williams did with Sarah Michelle Gellar where she was learning how to drive. They ran a gag real at the end where he says something like "where did you learn that?" And she replies "Sunnydale"

I laughed until I cried

That's awesome!

I love the allusions to shows within shows.

While Supergirl isn't the best show ever, I love that they got Helen Slater and Dean Cain to play her parents.

I also cracked up at the joke about Harrison Ford from Callista's character.

BBC Sherlock, A Scandal in Belgravia is one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen.

Ally Mcbeal - The Wedding

This is the one where she represents Josh Groban, or course he sings in the episode. I cried.

Battle of the Blackwater. It was a stunning episode.

Also, Hodor. Best unexpected reveal ever.

Taxi. Two Jim episodes. One where he's taking his license exam "what does a yellow light mean?" and the other where he's apartment sitting for Louie and the place burns down.

Are you me? Omg, the yellow light episode is soooo funny.

I also like the episode where the future mil threatens Louie with a hit man.

Star Trek (the original series) "Who Mourns for Adonis?" with the ancient Greek costuming and hot actor! (this is not the best part but so illustrative)

+1 to I Love Lucy chocolate episode, and the chicks, and so many more! Remember the episode where they are on the train and Lucy keeps pulling the emergency cord?

I can't think of episodes but Frasier was amazing. It's subtle so you have to get to understand the characters and then it's super-funny, because as they set up a situation, you realize in advance how the characters might react.

I loved Laverne & Shirley, too! And WKRP. And Welcome Back Kotter!

Donna broke the rules. The rules about drinking at prom were clear and the consequences were spelled out ahead of time. It's BS that a ridiculous protest led by Brandon (THE WORST) worked. I don't know why this still makes me mad 25 years later haha...
