So many to choose from. If I close my eyes I can practically stream certain episodes of the The Simpsons and King of the Hill. Other series have had such touching scenes they can still bring a tear to my eye 30 years after originally airing.
But, today I’m thinking about the perfect episode of a series about absolutely awful people… Seinfeld.
I understand why today someone wouldn’t watch that show (2 of those mains really showed their true colours and the main jas somehow avoided some deserved scrutiny), but when it was airing on my channels it was the thing to watch and talk about. Stupid Friends was just something to watch to make sure you didn’t miss the start of Seinfeld.
One amazing episode, The Marine Biologist, ended with a scene at Monk’s diner as George recounted his adventure.
That episode managed to have multiple arcs with a unique denouement and simple gag at the end.
The next day at school we couldn’t shut up about it.
