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 :)

"In the middle of my backswing?!"

Not my favorite, but it's certainly a good one.

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.

I’m doing a rewatch of SG1 right now, and I forgot just how charming this show is. I always preferred Atlantis a bit more, but I’m coming around to liking SG1 more than I used to.

Don't neglect your real life in those 160 hours 😂 But seriously... There are a lot of episodes. Since I'm not watching a lot of anime, SG-1 is probably one of the longest TV series I ever watched. Atlantis was good, too. I still feel for the latter episodes and the end of that show... Give me 10 more years and I might consider re-watching some of that, as well. As of now I'd like some new scifi. Star Trek Lower Decks will come to an end this week... And I need someone to give some money to Seth MacFarlane and order more The Orville...

That sounds awesome. I watched a couple seasons of the original series, never got to SG1

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

.... sg1 is the original series...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Ahem

The ones that matter are SG-1 (until buff Daniel) and Atlantis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Strongly disagree, Universe is my favorite Stargate. They got a lot of the great stuff from Stargate and managed to put it together with a lot of the great stuff in Battlestar Galactica.

OG Stargate was always about exploration and discoveries, something they eventually forgot on SG-1 and that Atlantis never really followed. If any one of the 3 is getting dropped it should be Atlantis, it's the least Stargatey of all of the Stargates.
