I thought I would list my favourite episodes of favourite shows, as follows:
Only Fools And Horses: Yuppie Love. Yes, its got the famous bar pratfall in it, but everything about this episode works. It sets up the whole Del-yuppie storyline, as well as Rodney/Cassandra, and has some cracking lines.
Fawlty Towers: The Psychiatrist. Imo this is just brilliant. Basil's behaviour around the psychiatrist and his wife is hilarious ("right, the game's up! oh, uh, bit of game pie stuck to the ceiling!"), and his run-ins with the Australian girl are cringeworthy. Plus, he finally stands up to Sybil!
Frasier: The Matchmaker. Frasier tries to set up Daphne with his new boss, unaware that the boss is gay and actually fancies Frasier! Niles' role in this episode is brilliant, and Martin's reaction to the truth about the boss is priceless The pilot episode ('The Good Son') comes a close second!
Arrested Development: Meet The Veals. Franklin and Mrs. Featherbottom, nuff said!
Red Dwarf: The Last Day. Kryten's party has some brilliant humour, particularly from Rimmer. 'You can have my mum; everyone else did!'
Yes Minister: Party Games. The extended Christmas special is laugh a minute, and ends with the immortal line 'Yes, Prime Minister!'
One Foot In The Grave: The Trial. Victor waits in for jury duty, and some of the series' best gags take place, including the Yucca plant in the toilet and the toupee in the loaf of bread. Richard Wilson's reactions are hysterical.
The Royle Family. Don't know the episode title, but the one where Nana is staying with the family after her caterract (sp?) operation is genius.
