Most memorable TV series episode (1 Viewer)

Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1: Fallen Hero.

Where T'Pol pleads with Captain Archer not to turn Ambassador V'Lar over to the Mezzarites. It was a very touching episode.

March 21, 1980
The birth of the modern cliffhanger on the Dallas episode titled "A House Divided".
At the end of this glorious episode, J.R. Ewing is shot by an unknown assailant which would go on to stir up public debate like no other show had done before.
An audience of over 90 million tuned in to "Who Done It?" the following fall to finally witness the details of the crime.
Ever since this date, many shows have copycatted the cliffhanger angle to keep viewers tuning in to their show the following season.

Is that the one where Sam can buy back the bar for a dollar and he doesn't quite have enough change? That was a great, post-Diane, episode. Ted Danson really did a great job there.

^Yes, it sure is. "Hey, I low-balled him."

And speaking of Cheers, Season 9 is finally coming out on April 29th!

Okay, sorry to lamely quote myself, but here's another good example come to reality ... CBS/Paramount basically releasing a "Most memorable episodes" version of Perry Mason on April 6 for the 50th anniversary of the show. As a 'casual' fan of that series, I could easily see buying this release instead of all the season sets.

Six Feet Under's finale, "Everyone's Waiting". That final five-minute sequence...

Close runners would include the ER episodes "On the Beach" (Mark Greene's final episode) and "Love's Labour Lost" (Bradley Whitford gives a stunning performance).
