I'm more impressed with the full list than I thought. Nice to see a couple Fawlty Towers episodes in there; may have missed it but should have at least one Police Squad.

The problem with the list for me is that it favors shows that have been re-run frequently and ignores some real gems that only lasted one or two seasons. An example for me would be the 1967 "He and She"



Also missing in action on the list is "Car 54 Where Are You?". My personal favorite: "How Smart Can You Get":

It's a lot harder for me to slam him for the lack of really amazing episodes from very short lived shows. For instance, Stark Raving Mad was brilliant, and I recall one episode in particular as being fucking fantastic. I think it was Four Colds and a Funeral. The problem is that all too many short-lived shows have been just about completely forgotten and you'd need a superhuman level of knowledge to be able to include them all.

When I saw the title, this is the first episode I thought of. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

I think lack of Car 54 is a major oversight as well. Especially with so many Seinfeld episodes. Car 54 is a HUGE influence on that show.

I think that the Scrubs episode where Dr. Cox's friend (played by Brendan Frasier)
is the best of that show and one of the best of all time.

I think the only reason we got any sort of Scrubs is that the musical episode was the best such one to put on a list. In fairness, Scrubs bent over into drama more than virtually any sitcom I can think of (even MASH because MASH had its funny years and its serious years). There are probably episodes of Gilmore Girls that count more as a comedy than episodes of Scrubs.
