5. I have to agree

that one was the most clever and unexpected end of a sitcom series loved it.

16. Yup. I wasn't watching it but heard about it at the time. I would love to

have been watching that night. Hillarious.

6. A little song, a little dance....

Great, great MTM episode, but the WKRP turkey drop never fails to crack me up.

3. "With God as my witness...I thought turkeys could fly."

NOTHING has ever made me laugh as hard. What an absolutely classic episode.

15. Automatically gets my vote...

No one could top Lucy!

Also the scene with her and Ethel on the candy assembly line, and also when Harpo Marx paid a visit...

10. Seinfeld - Elaine dancing

Or as George calls it - "More like a full bodied dry heave set to music".

I also like the "Magic Loogie":

14. Even though Seinfeld isn't my favorite sitcom, it has the most memorable moments

I find myself saying, "Did you see the episode of Seinfeld where . . .?" all the time.

I screeched with laughter at the driving test in 5 minutes as much or more as I did at Borat!

33. "What does the yellow light mean?"

I fell out of my chair crying with laughter when that first aired. I had been in a depression that day.

That became a catchphrase for years among friends whenever we encountered a situation of unusual stupidity.

20. Most of my favorites came from All in the Family. The first one that comes to mind is this one

with Sammy Davis, Jr.

Gloria and Meathead's wedding. Dingbat tortures the piano, and we have to wait for Archie.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QcCDEStNE0o

edit: Here's something odd. The second "related video" is a Lindsay Lohan nipple slip! I have trouble making the connection, though I guess both clips feature a dingbat prominently.

22. I didn't like WKRP...The best sitcom moment is "What do you do when you come

to a red light". On Taxi. Hands down. At least for me.

29. The only time a scene has gotten funnier every time I rewound it.

Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 12:32 AM by MilesColtrane

Genius...

Curb Runner Up: When Larry and Cheryl get roped into attending a dinner party thrown by a guy they really don't know.
The look on Cheryl's face, vibing Larry, when the guy starts telling a story about his young days as a porn star. It involved a Teamster and an alternate use for Tabasco sauce.

36. When I saw the question, I asked myself...

Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 10:20 AM by mitchum

"Which Larry David helmed sitcom episode am I gonna have to narrow it down to?"
My wife never cared for Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm (I still love her anyway), but that episode convinced her of his genius.

37. And Larry proved that he was no jerk, but rather a man of sensitivity...

and good manners.
It was like the old anecdote about the dinner guest who drank from the finger bowl, so the hostess proceeded to sip from her own.

34. There was one on Murphy Brown that I couldn't find on Youtube

Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 10:02 AM by kwassa

where Candice Bergen is interviewing Wallace Shawn as a political candidate where his political positions get more and more outrageous.

Does anyone else remember this?

edit to add episode information:

http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=355040

Murphy Brown: The Best and Not-So-Brightest
1995-USA-Workplace Comedy/Media Satire/Sitcom

PLOT DESCRIPTION
Wallace Shawn returns as Stuart Best, the original anchorman for "FYI". As obnoxious as he was behind the news desk, Best is even more so now that he is a Republican congressman--especially when he goes out of his way to humiliate Murphy (Candice Bergen) in public. Thirsting for revenge, Murphy arranges to "grill" Stuart on her TV show--but the results are surprising for both parties! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

35. Can't view youtube at work

So I don't know what you posted, but I would certainly vote for the finale of "Newhart," with Bob waking up in his old sitcom next to Suzanne Pleshette (sp).
