This is a tough one and hopefully opens a lot of debate up because there are probably dozen's of best episodes of TV shows that you've watched. This is the episode that just stands out, or reveals something or ties up a story line in a satisfying way, or it might be a stand alone episode that made your jaw drop.

So here are a few of mine

1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Hush

I could have gone with quite a few, the body, once more with feelings, but Hush was special because it had a unique premise in that all of the characters in the show had their voices taken away. This lead to some unintentional hand motion comedy, but also some incredibly terrifying silent murders and chases as well. The Gentlemen have to rank up there as the creepiest on screen monsters that I have ever seen.



2) Quantum Leap - MIA

A very poignent and sad episode as Sam leaps into a police man's body in 1969 to prevent a woman from marrying a man because her husband is MIA in Vietnam. It later turns out that the MIA is a younger Al, and the episode ends with Al being able to visit his wife who is alone while "Georgia on my mind plays" and Al begs his wife to wait for him

3) Futurama - The Luck of the Fryish

Very sad episode where Fry learns that his brother stole his lucky clover and his identity, but in the end finds his brothers son's grave who was named Phillip J Fry after his uncle to keep his spirit alive.



4) Star Trek - The City on the Edge of Forever

The definition of a mind bending episode that most of us have seen, it involves a trip to the past, Kirk falling in love with a woman and then having to let her die to preserve the future.



5) Band of Brothers - The Bastogne

Focused on Eugene Roe the Company medic as Easy Company has to hold the Bastogne while running low on medical supplies. One of the best episodes in the series.
