Default Re: Best episode ever. Of any show.

After decades of t.v., I don't know if I can pick out a favorite, but super high on the list is The Simpsons episode where Homer goes to Mr. Burns' house to negotiate a labor contract. Burns unwittingly uses so many gay-sounding double entendres that Homer goes into a homosexual panic and wonders, Is he hitting on me? And then Homer has to pee really bad, and can't understand Burns' directions, so he just goes randomly opening doors down either side of Burns' endless mansion hallways. He shortly comes back into the room to talk to Burns again, looking relieved, and Burns asks him if he found the bathroom. Homer looks around evasively and says something like, "Uh, bathroom. Right." Obviously having just peed in some random corner or something. That episode was one gut-buster after another.

Oh, I just remembered...there was another from The Prisoner I really liked alot. And one from the old Hitchcock t.v. series with Joseph Cotton, where he doesn't move the entire show. He gets in a car accident and is completely paralyzed but still aware. Punks rob him, he gets taken to the morgue and pronounced dead, etc. Super creepy and really amazingly good.
