I wasn’t even alive for Dallas but my mother thought me the importance of who shot JR.
Lucy could and should have her own list!
Glad to see Star Trek make it. That episode, and the series, were groundbreaking
To narrow down classic moments of I Love Lucy to just one must have been quite a feat, and sparked some debate at the writers' conference.

Vitameatavegamin was not revolutionary during the time it aired, Lucy's childbirth was, it literally beat out the moon landing in viewership, it literally was front page news ON THE DAY THE PRESEDENT WAS INAGURATED like How the hell do you choose her tv commercial over an episode that literally was more important to the general public than the presedency
I love Lucy is my all time favorite show I watched since I was a kid and I was born in 88 we had bunny ears on our TV trying to get I love Lucy on 😅
Your quickie reference to "Jumping the Shark" from Happy Days should have made the full list as it represents a TV series that has outlived its writing, which has more frequently related to police procedurals that take the leads from solving crime to saving the world, i.e., Hawaii Five-O... that's when they're done... KDM
I agree. It's a common phrase today and most people don't know where it came from.
@@leonoranicolaysen2784 Thanks for the comment... KDM
#10 @ 0:25 The Sopranos "College"
#9 @ 1:30 All In The Family "Sammy's Visit"
#8 @ 2:38 St. Elsewhere "The Last One"
#7 @ 3:42 Seinfeld "The Chinese Restaurant"
#6 @ 4:44 Star Trek "Plato's Stepchildren"
#5 @ 5:47 Cheers "Showdown, Part 2"
#4 @ 6:53 M*A*S*H* "Abyssinia, Henry"
#3 @ 7:53 The Fugitive "The Judgement"
#2 @ 9:01 Dallas "A House Divided"
#1 @ 11:49 I Love Lucy "Lucy Does A TV Commercial"
Loved the video! I think who shot JR was the most iconic.
The finale of "St. Elsewhere" was touching, and it's good to see it remembered here. The Thanksgiving episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati" and the episode of "Taxi" when Jim takes his driver's test always belong on such lists with "Chuckles Bites the Dust" and "Went with the Wind."
What does a yellow light mean? I quote it once in a while even though I haven't seen it in a long time
The Simpsons did a two-part episode parodying Who Shot JR. That alone should tell you how culturally important it was.
It was a parody for The Simpsons storyline Who Shot Mr. Burns.
I Love Lucy is truly a perfect sitcom but I've recently begun rewatching it and what I missed years ago is how talented Desi Arnaz is as well at physical comedy. He is the perfect foil for Lucy but it was actually Desi that pushed for Lucy's pregnancy to be included in the show since he thought it made no sense to hide it because they were married on the show and in real life so he knew the audience would know that married couples have babies. It was a no brainer for him.
Great countdown but it should have been the top 20. And added the last episodes of Newhart and the last episode of Mary Tyler Moore show
Yeah, "Who Shot JR" (or whatever it was officially called) was a big deal. But if you're talking about "defining television", you should have used the "Bobby's Death Was All A Dream" because that directly led to the ends of ST ELSEWHERE and NEWHART, among others
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤
I expected to see Edith's rape episode of All in the Family. I remember being irritated with the MASH episode that included Henry's death. I thought, at the time, Why can't shows just be funny instead of imbuing them with "meaning"? I am not sure I was wrong, but MASH did continue to be a great show.
Top 10 most Iconic TV pilot episodes
The plot of $99,000 answer was later revamped for the Pinky and the Brain episode Win Big except the final question is about Ralph Kramden's catchphrase.
Twilight Zone should be more than a honorable mention, that show was so important!
23% alcohol no wonder she was gassed lol. She almost made me believe vinerals was a real word.
The last episode of Newhart is a classic.
The only downside of Seinfeld's The Chinese Restaurant is that Kramer wasn't in the episode.
I refer to shows that just end without resolution as being "Coronet Blue" screwed. Having "The Fugitive" come to an actual finale made it very memorable.
Should have mentioned that the “we live in a society” meme started in the Chinese Restaurant episode
To me, it was "The puppy episode" from Ellen. Happy sunday night, Samantha. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

The end of St. Elsewhere was a huge middle finger at the fans.
“Abysisinia Henry“ is a masterpiece in many ways. like Larry Gelbart saod not everyone got to go home. it was the brillance of the series. it dealt with many very tough issues. it is the best written series in the history of television.
I think the last one from Friends should’ve been there. Awesome list though.
I’d say the thanksgiving episode if you had to pick a friends one or the prom video
Seinfeld's No Soup for You, the Soup Nazi episode was classic comedy gold. Seinfeld's The Contest (or master of their domain was funny!) Who shot JR was huge in its day! Lucille Ball working on the factory conveyor belt line stuffing chocolates in her outfit to keep up as the speed of the machine increases was one of the funniest scenes in her first show.
I would have included Newhart ending
I have seen every "Seinfeld" episode including the now-banned "Puerto Rico Day Parade" episode (that one sucked). I did not like "The Chinese Restaurant" episode very much. It was OK, especially the first time. But it is mostly just waiting around. Just go somewhere else! It is NYC. "The Contest" was much funnier and more groundbreaking because it was about masturbation but they never used that word. The only other show I saw that dealt with masturbation was an original "Roseanne". That episode was very funny too.
Chuckles Bites the Dust from the Mary Tyler Moore show hilariously explored death. (Though Bob Newhart show did it first)
#9 classic "All in the Family" w/ Sammy Davis Jr. #4 "Abysynia, Henry" WOW, such an emotional scene. Cast wasn't told what happened until the final moment, to get the reaction."Time enough, at last" good episode of the "Twilight Zone." Lucy does a TV Commercial. When she reaches out of the TV. Ricky-"How 'bout that? 3D TV."😂😅😂😅
That X-Files Parody Episode Of Unhappily Ever After (1995-1999) That was fucking Hilarious Ryan and Tiffany taking up the roles of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully except they're Siblings

It was just a question of which episode would represent Seinfeld! My guess was "The Contest", but I think you're right in that being about nothing was even more revolutionary and trend-setting than being about something racy.
What about friends,ncis,the office,once upon a time,Brady bunch,the nanny?
SERIOUSLY?!? You put the finale of St. Elsewhere on this list? That was the biggest slap in the face/betrayal of fans EVER. How would a kid that young, autistic or not, know all that medical jargon? How could he create such detailed adult relationships? He came up with the storyline of a male doctor being raped during a prison visit? That was such deep bullsh*t it was like the streets of Pamplona after the running of the bulls!!!
I would've included the Sesame Street episode where Mr Hooper died because it was, I think, the first time a kids show discussed death.
Also, instead of the St Elsewhere finale, it should've been the episode of Dallas where Pam finds out Bobby is alive after being dead the season before
The brief respective summaries of the Twilight Zone and Honeymooners episodes didn’t go into enough detail to explain why they are honorable mentions.
What about The Giant Jackrabbit episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, it was the most watch half hour episode on TV for a long time
I vote for The Muppet Show & Sesame Street.
Lucy without question
I learned about Who Shot J.R. from The Simpsons. Lol. Who Shot Mr Burns?
Everyone (and I mean *everyone*) watched who shot JR!
I didn’t.
How about the birth of Pebbles in The Flintstones on season three.
Honestly neither the Seinfeld or Sopranos episodes even belong here. If you need to include those shows at least pick more important episodes.
Top 10 Seinfeld characters who appeared only ONCE on the series: The Chinese restaurant Maitre'D and the NYU reporter Sharon Leonard should top the list.
And many ironic characters like The Soup Nazi and the Bubble Boy appeared in the finale so they don't qualify.
How about The Beatles on "The Ed Sullivan Show"?
The Twilight Zone showed Sci Fi could be smart, relevant and compelling.
seinfeld is a show i cannot stand, i've never seen a full episode
Not even an honorable mention for the Twin Peaks pilot? 🤨
What connected to st.elswjere
Boy the woman doing the voice over totally mangled pronouncing Vitameatavegamin!! 😳
