The Twilight Zone is a tough call. But I've always loved "Nick of Time".

Another reason I had a hard time picking an episode of The Wire was because I really don't know the different episodes by title--way back in the day when I was watching pirated copies of the show on my iPod touch during breaks at work, the files were just titled "Season One.EP01" or something like that. I've watched it again since then, of course, but haven't really committed episode titled to memory. But when I was trying to pick a favorite, that conversation between Stringer and Avon (plus how the episode ends, of course) came to mind.
I didn't know the title either but it was really easy to look up.

True Detective S1:E5 (I think) "Haunted Houses". Best of any tv I've ever seen

I'm not sure I could name a single favorite episode of any of my favorite tv shows.

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.

Seinfeld: The Merv Griffin Show
Another good choice.
Simpsons: Homer Badman
I watched this maybe two weeks ago and was amazed at how well it held up. Just fantastic from start to finish.
True Detective: The Secret Fate of All Life
This is a great choice, but I've never been on the edge of my seat like I was for the end of "Who Goes There."
Game of Thrones: The one in which the Red Viper fights The Mountain.
This one is literally just called "The Mountain and The Viper."
The X-Files: Home
There's a rumor that one of the new episodes coming in January will be a sequel to this--or, at least, a spiritual sequel.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Nightman Cometh
My man!
