Some of Your Favorite "Character's First Episodes" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

To be opposite of my other post, what are some good episodes at introducing a new character.

Cheers
122. "I forget the title"
Rebecca's first episode was great. I liked the way Sam had been gone and returns to everything all messed up. And the way the group went to bat for Woody, who was about to be fired.

Wings
98. "Twisted Sister"
Casey Davenport's (Amy Yasbeck) first episode finds her visiting Nantucket, only to move in with her sister. Also, Joe tries to give Helen an engagement ring, but Casey keeps getting in the way.

M*A*S*H
73. "Welcome to Korea"
74. "Welcome to Korea" (In syndication, it's two episodes)
75. "Change of Command"
First the introduction to B.J. Hunnicutt, Trapper's replacement. Then in episode 75, we meet their new C.O. Sherman Potter. Although, I liked Henry Blake better, it was still a good introduction episode.

What about you?

Mary Tyler Moore - #73 "The Lars Affair": First appearance of Sue Ann Nivens, the Happy Homemaker. The confrontation between Sue Ann and Phyllis cracks me up every time! (To say nothing of Mary's ultimatum at the end.)

As usual, TV Gen and I agree! I love this episode. Mary always talks about how amazing it is that the audience wanted to see Sue Ann again after she slept w/ Lars in her first appearance LOL.
