What is your all-time favorite episode of Soap and why?

It's really hard to name just one episode as the show was a serial. Perhaps it would be best to ask what was everyone's fav storyline? I personally liked the Peter Campbell Murder Mystery and the one where Burt and Mary were both thinking the other had an affair. In fact ALL of season 2 was great.

Marvin

I think the most moving moment next to Jessica's going to prison is the the episode when Danny's Wife Elaine died in his arms. That always stuck with me. It was so sad. I was disappointed to see Dinah Manoff leave the cast because her character was changing for the better.

I think the two Parter where Corrine and Tim's baby is posessed is my favorite.
and the one where Benson, Jessica and Billy go up to visit Eunice and Dutch in that Cabin.

------------------
Epstein: I refuse to speak on the grounds it may incinerate me.

Squiggy: We wanna be
like Ginger Rogers.
Lenny: And Fred Upstairs.

Jessica: Did the Devil make Chester disappear?
Mary: No, fear made Chester disappear.

MY FAVORITE EPISODE IS EPISODE 17 WHERE HOWARD HESSEMAN PLAYS MR. FRANKLIN JESSICA TATES LAWYER WHO DROPS HER CASE AFTER INTERVIEWING HER IN HER PRISON CELL.

My favorite would have to be the episode in which Benson, Chester, the Colonel, and John Byner's character (I can't remember his name) went to rescue Billy from the cult. At one point, the were stopped by the guards and said that they were the entertainment and they all started dancing. Very funny stuff, makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Yeah,that tap dancing episode is a riot! I wasnt a huge fan of Benson,but that scene is a very memorable one. Another memorable scene is the "I used to be a soggy flake,now I am a peppy flake" commercial .

EPISODE #49
BURT WITH THE ALIENS

I thought the episode where Polly's family met the Campbells was very funny. I almost died laughing when they walked into the Campbell house and saw Chuck and Bob playing cards.

Mine is the one in the third season when Burt disappears in front of Mary and she is trying to explain it to the Tates. She cracks me up every time :lol:

Ditto. The Step Brothers routine was classic. :lol:

I'd rank that as one of my top five moments of the entire series.

My favorite moment of all time is during S1, when the two families were discussing Peter's murder. Burt completely loses it after a remark from Bob and tries to strangle him. Every time I watch that scene, I'm LMAO.

Jessica going to Prison

I liked the story arc that had Billy getting kidnapped by the sunnies, and Benson & the guys rescue him.

I also liked when the girls got together in Jessica's kitchen and they were talking about sex. Corinne told Jessica she was horney and Jess got this look on her face cause she didn't know what it meant until they told her.

Burt seeing Bob in the refrigerator. I think that may be the most hilarious sitcom scene ever!

Any episode with El Puerco (Gregory Sierra)...:eyes: :heart: :eyes: I wanted him to row me in the canoe and carry me into the tent! :lol:

That is the "best" time to get rid of a character is when they are becomming a better person. That scene was very emotional.

^^^^^^
This, so I'll just toss in two scenes. Bob in the refrigerator, and Bob doing the mind reading act.

I think it's a tie between the episode where Elaine has dinner with Danny's family (and is as obnoxious as can be) and the Bob-in-the refrigerator show.

The first season when Chuck and Bob are introduced. Bob started on Jody right away. This was a hilarious show. I just lent my dvds to a co worker.

Kind of a Janie come lately here, but I've been binge-watching my Soap DVDs and have a few favorites. Alien Burt is my favorite storyline - Season 3 really gave Richard Mulligan and Cathryn Damon a chance to shine, in both hilarious and very dramatic scenes (i.e., when Burt thinks he's dying then when he learns he isn't). Burt meeting the aliens for the first time and Alien Burt meeting Mary are hysterical, and I need to watch those scenes again!

Soooo funny! I've become a huge fan of Chuck and Bob. I was young, sweet and naive when the show first aired, but now I'm old and snarky. So Bob has really grown on me :)

Burt explaining his invisibility to Mary in the tub.

The Vulcan neck pinch.
Oooh, good ones, Brady. When he made that bugle sound in the tub scene, I laughed myself simple. And clearly, so did she :)
