Season 1 is on Amazon through IMDB tv, but that's it.

That's the turning point of the series for me, when whatever sympathies or alliances I felt for any of them is destroyed. I can even trace it to one exact moment in that scene

can't believe you didn't have anything from Wings..

I really appreciate that you remember this about me. I’m always watching Wings. I love it so much, and that’s probably why I don’t have a single favorite moment.

That's not the scene I'm talking about. I'm talking about Ton and Carmela checking out the lot for her new spec house

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Oh, sorry, didn't pick up on that. I just watched it on youtube. Not something that specifically has stuck in my head through the re-watches. It plays with the bear thing going on that season

I'm not sure there's a single moment in TV history that tickles me as much as Ross walking into the costume shop (in The One With The Holiday Armadillo) and the clerk saying, "Hello, sir, here to return those pants?"

Then Ross pauses and says, "No, these are my pants."

This is a really small thing, but one of my favorite all-time "gags" is Mark Linn Baker's involvement in The Leftovers. The moment where he finally appears on-screen front-and-center is both hilarious and mind-bending, and I can't really put it into words, but it was one of the best payoffs ever in TV for me.

It's the end credits. A quick tempo version of Shubert's Piano Sonata in A is playing and the plane is flying over the sea toward the sun. Just as the song wraps up, the plane banks hard to the right. In the first few seasons, it's the long Shubert intro. I just love it. As far as actual scenes go, I guess the one that endures is at the end of the pilot where the Hackett brothers read the message from their late father ("You're rich) and it flashes to them as boys on the beach of Nantucket. It gets me every time.
