Favorite moments in television...

talking about a show pulling at your heartstrings, the TV show Soap was awesome. Burt confessing to a nervous breakdown is awesome.

That's a great scene - done live too; really impressive. Tough to balance being funny and serious, but well done.

...had this conversation last night with some guys at my local watering hole....most of our rememberances were from the late 60s/70s/80s, and a few guys had some thoughts from the 90s....

Three of three of your four are really in the all time hall of fame, but I can think of dozens of better simpsons scenes than that one...

The Chandler-Jill Goodacre scene perfectly defines the 90s for me
I agree that there are much better Simpsons scenes. "I am so smart. S-M-R-T. I mean, S-M-A-R-T" comes to mind right away as does this scene but everyone is probably going to have something different that jumps out to them.

"He's going for the BUNDLE"!

First one I thought of. A total slam on "Dallas."

The subject is "favorite" moments in television. Not necessarily the "best". This was one of the favorites.

One of my favorite "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia" episodes ... a muscular scientist wearing a mesh tank top!

I really liked the ending to the Fiesta Bowl in January 1987.

Great ending!! I still watch it every now and again.

Must watch TV.

Taxi: Reverend Jim has a dream that Alex is going to die. Alex is going to drink a glass of water very quickly, be mistaken for a woman, and do the can-can wearing a green shirt and a catcher's mask, and then, he's guessing, expire. Hilarious.

Well, you hit my top two right out of the gate. I still remember watching the drivers license test from Taxi (#1) in my parent's family room and nearly peeing my pants I was laughing so hard. Not sure where I was for the Thanksgiving episode of WKRP (#2), but had pretty much the same reaction. Of course I also had crushes on Elaine Nardo and Bailey Quarters!

I was living in the South when this show started and I remember my teachers commenting about this skit.

Do you remember who spoke at your HS graduation? College? Well because of this skit I remember who spoke at my college graduation, Shana Alexander.
