Designing Women is in a class of its own: Designing Women thread, thanks to wrigley!

Maybe there should be a Seinfeld one, too

Cheers: The episode when Woody sings a song for Kelly...and it's just the name "Kelly" in a loop.

Seinfeld: "You made out during Schindler's List?!"

It's hard for me to come up with my favorite episode of a show that's still on...

Ditto to whomever mentioned any Cosby episode involving lip synching!

M*A*S*H "Adam's Ribs" (and probably another 100 or so I could list, I adore this show)

WKRP in Cincinnati "Turkeys Away"

Designing Women "The Beauty Pageant"

Not slightly a sitcom, but the "Puppet Show" episode of Angel is probably one of the funniest 44 minutes of TV ever.

right now since my mind is on HIMYM (rewatching my dvds)

there really are way too many to name but:

Swarley, Zip, Zip, Zip, Slapsgiving, The Plantinum Rule, The Naked Man, How I Met Everyone Else....

Ok, I think that is enough...I love this show....

does anyone remember The powers that Be? i believe it was on for a only a year. a great show that should not have been cancelled. it starred john forsythe, holland taylor, david hyde-pierce and valarie mahaffey(who also played eve on Nnorthern Exposure), who i believe would have made a fabulous maris. it also starred joseph gordon-levitt.

speaking of joseph, what about Third Rock from the Sun? i loved that show. it is very hard to choose only a few episodes but i guess i would have to say the pilot was one of my favorite, as well as when they host thanksgiving dinner and when john cleese shows up.

Someone mentioned that on FB and I hadn't seen it so I youtubed it. iDied.


And while I have about 15 fave episodes of Family Matters, my favorite scene is when Stephan proposes to Laura at DisneyWorld. I memorized every detail of that scene, it was so beautiful (and I have no clue how he pulled that off).

"Laura Winslow, you are the sun, the rain, and the wind that flowers my very soul. And I love you more than life itself. Will you marry me?"

I had forgotten about The Powers That Be. I also thought that Valarie Mahaffey would have been perfect as Maris. /sidenote: She also played the mother of the special needs/terminally ill child on E/R that Dr. Ross (George Clooney) basically showed her how to euthanize. He was fired from the hospital and left for Seattle.

On "Girlfriends", a favorite running gag was that Toni could never remember Maya's son's name.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T488CRKUyk

My favorite one, because Maya just gives up on telling Toni one more time what her son's name is:

Toni: "Who's Jabari?"
Maya: "My son!"
Toni: "Jacuzzi changed his name?"
Maya: "No, girl, he's....yeah, girl, you like it?"
Toni: "No!"

Will and Grace when Karen was getting married to Lyle (Minnie Driver's father), J-Lo was the entertainment and Jack tripped her back-up dancer so that he could replace him.

"And remember, the secret to a happy marriage is.....oh, who am I kidding". Jennifer Lopez.
This is quite appropriate.

Friends- the episode where monica and rachel play against joey and chandler to see who knows each other best. "Growing up joey had an imaginary friend, what was his name?.. maurice!.. occupation?.. space cowboy!" Hilarious.

The Office- diversity day. Hands down.
