Top 5?

[*ClassicPinUp*]

Okay I know it's very hard to pick only 5 but just to see what ya'll come up with.---If you could only watch 5 episodes out of The Classic 39 which ones would they be & why? *And* one of your least favorite episodes.
Mine are;
1) Head Of The House- I don't care how many times I see it! Seeing them "drunk" is a classic & you couldn't have picked 2 better guys to do it . "I feel like I've got a hair in my face."

2) Pardon My Glove- Because Ralph & Ed's faces are priceless when Andre (sp?) says he "likes to get the husband's approval."

3) Brother Ralph- Just typical jealous Ralph & how could you not love that. "If I hear the typewriter stop I'm coming out."

4) Young At Heart- Do I really need to give a reason for this one?

5) Unconventional Behavior- Just really enjoy having almost the whole 30minutes with nothing but Ed & Ralph. Perfect team.

Least favorite--- A Dog's Life. I found that one more sad than funny.

In no particular order:

1) "The Sleepwalker" - I just love the feel of this episode, it's so different from the rest of the C39. Plus, it's the first and only time we get to see the Norton's bedroom. Memorable quote: "I didn't call the doctor on account of the bump on your head, I called the doctor on account of the bump IN your head."

2) "Trapped" - Another one that doesn't compare to any other episode. And it just goes to show that Ralph would stop at nothing to protect Alice. Oh, and when he first catches a glimpse of the guy out on the fire escape...priceless!

^^Couldn't have said it better myself.

4) "A Matter Of Record" - Ralph vs. Alice's mother, need I say more?

5) "Better Living Through TV" - One of the first episodes I recall seeing when I was a kid. Ralph messing up that commercial still makes me laugh to this day.

As for my least favorite, it's pretty hard to choose from so many classic episodes, but I'd have to say "On Stage" is one that I was never really too fond of.

My favs with that one is 1) When Norton starts whining about getting a needle 2)When Ralph passes out-Doctor wakes him up & he says "Step to the rear" LOL, for some reason I find that hysterical.

So true! Or how about the way he tells Alice!
"Now look when I tell you I don't want you to get nervous cause there's nothing to get nervous about. There's a couple of guys out after me their gonna kill me." Hehe!

My top five are:

1) "Please Leave The Premises"

2) "Twas The Night Before Christmas"

3) "Trapped"

4) "Young At Heart"

5) "A Dog's Life"

For me, each of these episodes have a unique quality to them. They show a sincere and touching side to each of their characters.

My least favorite episode would be "On Stage".

[*ClassicPinUp*]

Great choices The Great One! "Young At Heart" is so funny & I always liked Ralph's speech at the end. Hmm so far the least fav is "On Stage"...I love that one lol.

[Benno123]

For some reason, "Mind Your Own Business" has always been at the top of the list of my favorite shows. Are we just ranking the top of the classic 39? I just read the post but I forget -- my memory must be going at the ripe old age of 27!

[*ClassicPinUp*]

^Yep yep! Your favorite 5.

[W.B.]

My 5 favorite episodes, not necessarily in that order:
- "Better Living Through TV"
- "The $99,000 Answer"
- "Dial 'J' For Janitor"
- "Head of the House"
- "The Sleepwalker"
As to my least favorite, I'd name "Trapped." Easily.

[powbangzooom]

Well this is a tuff one, but if I use scientific figurin, then these are my favorites:

1.Mamma loves Mambo
2.Please leave the Premises
3.Had of The House
4.Unconventional Behavior
5.The Bensonhurst Bomber
6. Tv Or Not Tv
7. The Sleepwalker

I could keep giong, sorry just can't pick 5

I might say Hello Mom for my least favorite, but I'll have to watch it again for the 100th time to confirm.

Oh and By the way, Trapped is also one of my favorites, so I don't see how it could be an "EASY" choice. Maybe it is too serious, but I luv it. It is so funny when Ralph is terrified & he tells Norton and Alice.Now ther's nothing to worry about.

Now there's no need to worry Alice.There's a couple of guys out there and there goin to kill me.

I'm a scared Norton , I'm a scared. There gonna get me.

Aw could just kiss that face lol! Good choices even though you cheated! Hehe just kidding! I know it's tough to pick only 5! I like the part in "Trapped" where the sink makes that gun noise & Ralph thinks he was shot good stuff!

[*ClassicPinUp*]

Okay I'm adding another one! "Mamma loves Mambo" just watched it & forgot how funny that one was.

How could I of forgotten that part! And don't forget how funny it was when he got startled by the TV arial man, & before that, with Alice. (he he) Terror can be very hilarious, when it is real. And Jackie sure made it real. Gotta luv him!

Well, since most of the regulars already listed their 5 favorite Classic 39 episodes, I figured I'd keep this thread alive by listing my 5 favorite Lost Episodes. I just went with the ones that made me laugh the most, since there's so many to choose from:

1) "Peacemaker" - Probably my favorite Lost Episode out of them all. I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen this episode, but Ralph's reaction to the alarm clock at the end has me on the floor every time.

2) "This Is Your Life" - Gotta love the longer ones that take you on an adventure. Jealous Ralph at his finest! "At LEAST an hour."

3) "Little Man Who Wasn't There" - A riot from beginning to end, calling this a classic would be putting it lightly.

4) "Kramden Vs. Norton" - The title says it all, a classic routine that never gets old. From the notes to eachother to the pool room scene, this one's definitely a keeper.

5) "Boys & Girls Together" - Ralph enters the room, the lights are out and there's candles on the table, "So you forgot to pay the electric bill huh?" And how could I forget..."You girls tired, you wanna go home?" Brilliant.

Honorable mentions: "Two Men On A Horse," "Stand-In For Murder."

As for my least favorite, I'd have to go with one of the earlier episodes, like "Income Tax," for example.

Next...

[*ClassicPinUp*]

Okay I still have a lot of these to watch & catch up on so I will have to get back to you but as of now my favs are-
1) "Peacemaker"-- Everything about it! And like Bill said the ending with the alarm clock is hysterical!

2) "Kramden vs Norton"-I love when Alice is trying to play pool! Ralph's remarks are great.

3) "Stand In For Murder"- "These are my boys" Ralph- "Oh lovely family." That whole scene was funny.

---Okay I'll the last 2 spots for when I watch the rest.---
