An undeniably great episode: Bottom - Gas
Picking an all-encompassing episode of a sitcom that gets to the very heart of a show isn't always an easy task. However, with some sitcoms an episode will naturally leap out at you, and none more so than Bottom's Gas - a farce of epic proportions that became a modern classic.
