That is a great question.

My guess is that it is either an episode of MASH or The Simpsons. I'll say the Adams Ribs episode of MASH.

Probably one of the classic 39 epiosdes of The Honeymooners.
I'll say either "The Golfer" (Hello Ball) or "Better Living Through Television" (The Chef Of The Future)

Easy for me:
Fawlty Towers - "Basil the Rat" aka "The Health Inspector".
Saw it on PBS in '80 or '81. Bought it on comedy tape a few years later in England. Bought the screenplay book in late 80's. Taped in on VHS in '89. Bought it on VHS in early 90's. Got it on DVD in '01.

...and it just gets funnier EVERY TIME I SEE IT!

Tough question. I've seen 'City on the Edge of Forever' at least 100 times. Doubt anything else beats that. But I've seen All Good Things ..., Sleeping in Light, The Body, Mirror Image (QL not TZ), The Last One, A Game of Pool, and Chinpokomon way more times than is healthy.

Dammit das, you took my answer.

"City on the Edge of Forever" - by a friggin' mile.

Followed by the premiere season of "Twin Peaks."

Once More with Feeling (the Buffy Musical)

(There are other episodes that I like better, but I think OMWF has the most replay value.)

Apologies, Decker ...

'City on the Edge of Forever' is Star Trek
'All Good Things ...' is Star Trek: The Next Generation
'Sleeping in Light' is Babylon 5
'The Body' is Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
'Mirror Image' is Quantum Leap
'The Last One' is St. Elsewhere
'A Game of Pool' is The Twilight Zone
'Chinpokomon' aaaaaaaaaah? is South Park

Those aren't necessarily my favorite episodes of the particular series but the ones that for whatever reason I've seen a ridiculous amount of times. I've also seen the Mary Tyler Moore and Newhart finales at least 25 times each (I have a thing for finales ).

Ironically, that episode seemed more of a parody of 'The Galileo Seven'

Not sure what, but it has to be something Xena...

Either one of the musicals or "The Quill is Mightier..."

Probably would have to say a Seinfeld episode. Then again, I've seen so much Three's Company through the years....

For me it would be a toss up of either Yesterdays Enterprise or Best of Both Worlds pts 1 and 2. I bought VHS tapes of these episodes years ago plus now I have them on DVD. Along with the million times I've seen them rerun on TV in marathons. But I can always watch those episodes even though I can damn near recite them word for word.

I'd say an episode of Cheers or Simpsons except I now run across a Bugs Bunny short flipping through the channels and realize I've likely seen it hundreds of times

The Bugs Bunny episode with the gremlin. When I was a kid my grandma had a tape of Bugs Bunny cartoons with that one on it and for some reason we'd watch that tape every time we were over there (which was a lot). We also used to watch Bugs Bunny during dinner and that episode was on almost every week.

I might have to go with this answer, since it is my favorite episode of the show which is on 5 times a day (with good reason.)
