My TV History - Every Show I've watched organized by how much I've seen

Great Episodes

Think of this like the Great Movies page of Ebert's site.  He lists and lauds his favorite shows, and I intend to do the same, particularly since I already have an analogous section for individual characters.  Just so you know, they're not ranked or anything, just in the order I think of them.  Also, for this first batch, I tried to stear clear of finales and stick with first season episodes, just because that way it's more universal, and you can all read everything without spoiling anything.  Of course, later on I will go into later episodes, so as always, try to avoid reading about an episode you haven't seen yet.  And lastly, they are all, as should be self-explanatory, great episodes. 

Latest Addition: 

#190.  "The Obsolescent Cryogenic Meltdown" - The Middleman

Any episode that starts out at the Batter of the Bulge Pancake House is sure to be a great one, and my only complaint about this one is that Lacey was barely in it.  That's because it was a Middleman story, featuring the unfreezing of Ida's old boss Middleman '69 who is more James Bond than Austin Powers.  Kevin Sorbo was fantastic as '69, but Ida was even better, skating around mixing drinks like she was back in the '60s too.  The ridiculous card game '69 and Wendy join was hilarious, and it gave Middleman a chance to swing in on a rope and save the day.  The Middleman is never a sappy show, but I was elated at the end when Wendy and Middleman hug; watching their relationship grow has been one of the best parts of the show.  As for obscure references, this episode scored points with The Third Man and Dr. Strangelove.

Wendy:  It's a polite way of saying BLEEP!
