The Best Episode of TV You've Seen

Post by epilogue »

Do you have a favorite episode of TV? I have a favorite episode of every show I watch. But I think the single greatest episode of any TV I've ever seen would be (unsurprisingly to some) Episode 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return.

But there are a ton of others that I could consider and talk about.

Should comedy be separate from drama? What about genre TV?

What say you, RM?

I think I have favorites of shows but each show is so different I prob can’t say one is better than another from another show.

Let’s all compare how we answer in this thread with how we answered in the same thread I made 10 years ago (almost to the day! November 8, 2015): http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtop ... 53#p616053

Joey’s response is my favorite, considering: http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtop ... 20#p616420
