GREATEST TV MOMENTS

In No Particular Order:

1) THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE OFFICE (UK) - From David Brent's heartbreaking plea for his job to "If you want to see the sunshine, you gotta put up with the rain. You know who said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits." Beautiful.

2) THE FINAL MOMENTS OF SIX FEET UNDER - That montage was the perfect way to end the series

3) RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS (EPISODE OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) - Quite possibly the epitome of what is so amazing about A. D. Absolutely triumphant with an ending you could melt butter with.

For me, the greatest TV moment ever was unquestionably the end of the Newhart show. The last episode, with its Fiddler themes and Bob waking up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette, rendering the whole series as an extended dream, was nothing short of inspired brilliance.

Last night's UGLY BETTY finale's final scene where the WEST SIDE STORY music intertwined with the action and that final image of Betty holding Hilda.

Several moments from VERONICA MARS. Like the end of last season's finale with Cassidy revealing he was the bus crash killer and then thinking Keith was dead and Veronica being a complete mess to the end.

One of the funniest scenes in any sitcom ever. 3:00 to the end is some of the best comic acting I have ever seen.

madbrian, I agree.

And I have to admit, the ending to last nights Ugly Betty was amazing

Favorite sappy romantic moment: FRIENDS - after seeing the high school prom night video, Rachel walks across the room and kisses Ross. Phoebe tops it off with the line, "You see, he's her lobster!"

Runner up: The final episode fo GILMORE GIRLS (this past Tuesday) Luke to Lorelai, outside the makeshift tent: "I just wanted to see you happy", followed by the kiss.

Agree with MTM's Chuckles the Clown, the prom video on Friends and especially the finale of Six Feet Under!

A My Name is Alex from Family Ties

When Nancy Weston found out she was going to survive her cancer on thirtysomething

Julia Sugarbaker's famous "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" rant

The showdown between Tony Soprano and Ralphie Cifaretto

When Albert fell in love with the girl who was raped on Little House on the Prairie

When Scotty caught Laura Weber Baldwin Spencer's bouquet on GH.

When Kimberly pulled off her wig on Melrose Place.

ETA: Two of the greatest episodes of ER: Hell or High Water (season two), where Doug Ross saves the drowning boy, and Love's Labor Lost (season one), where Dr. Greene loses his pregnant patient to pre eclampsia. The series at its best.

I LOVED Went With the Wind!

What was the Siamese elephant, though?

Remember the Mildred Pierce parody?!

I also loved when Reverend Jim was hallucinating on Taxi and saw Famous Amos.

MILDRED FIERCE

The Siamese Elephant bit was by Mickey Hart (Conway) during one of The Family sketches--Dick Van Dyke was the guest and they're all playing Password I think...it is absolutely hilarious...Conway goes off on a tangent, breaks everybody up but Vicki and then she breaks them up even more. Brilliant!

They really were one of the greatest foursomes on TV. I loved when they cracked up. Harvey Korman was the worst offender...he could never keep it together!

Posted: 5/18/07 at 12:28pm

I cant believe I know what "damn, damn, damn" is...I watch too much tv! And apparently always have.

I didn't think it was necessary to give any more info--I wish I could have added a pyrex-shattering sound effect, but oh well...

I've been Netflixing MTM. What a wonderful show. I'm about to start season 4, and look like that's the last season on DVD. I want the rest.

I don't remember when/why Mary moved from her infamous little apartment to the one she was in during the later years.

Oh and another perfect TV moment is the end of the first episode of Freaks and Geeks when Sam gets the nerve to ask Cindy to dance to "Come Sail Away" but they get to the floor as the fast part starts.

And the other perfect moment is in My So-Called Life, when Jordan grabs Angela's hand in the hallway for the first time.

And of COURSE, I agree with the Six Feet Under finale. Perfection.
