But there are so many excellent episodes of that one...my own favorite might just be "Extreme Unction" but that's just one of many candidates. <br /><br />While the episode of HOMELAND that stands head and shoulders above the others I've seen would be "Q&A"...I can see why it's apparently the most popular episode of the series by Nielsen ratings.<br /><br />Both episodes I chose involve interrogators making incorrect assumptions that are necessary for their own sensibilities, which nonetheless lead to breakthroughs even though, at base, the questioners remain wrong...and have power in part because of what those errors stir in their interrogated.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-36131912993809527142014-07-14T18:11:32.051-04:002014-07-14T18:11:32.051-04:00The Mary Tyler Moore Show: "Chuckles the Clo...The Mary Tyler Moore Show: "Chuckles the Clown Is Dead"Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-83676006617628239632014-07-14T17:14:38.828-04:002014-07-14T17:14:38.828-04:00Very few current TV programs have self-contained e...Very few current TV programs have self-contained episodes. The story arc seems to be the preferred format today. Like Charles, I have my favorite episode of STAR TREK (THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER) and my favorite OUTER LIMITS episode (THE DEMON WITH THE GLASS HAND). Both episodes were written by Harlan Ellison.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-84851100998574683612014-07-14T16:41:53.475-04:002014-07-14T16:41:53.475-04:00BECKER was a good show.

Shows like THE AMERICANS or JUSTIFIED or most of the other new series are meant to be more of an organic whole (like THE WIRE) rather than have individual episodes stand out like "The Contest" or some of the others. It's probably easier for a sitcom that doesn't follow a continuing arc to do it. I'd add the odd "Pine Barrens" episode of THE SOPRANOS to "College" as a standout.<br /><br />Jeff M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
