What are the BEST Ned and Stacey episodes?
My favorites are:

1. Loganberry's Run (Favorite line: Thought - Muffins spelt backwards is Sniff 'em)
2. The Tender Trap (My opinion: Thomas Haden Church shirtless... he sure gained some bicepts since the 'Wings' episode "Bye Bye Bunnie"!)
3. Sleepless in Manhattan (Favorite line: OhmygodIcan'tstoptalkinglikeDr.SuessIaminsane!)
4. Friends and Lovers (Favorite line:"Ey, she wants you, go for it... do it!" "YAH!")
5. It Happened One Night (My opinion: Ned as a long-haired biker? Yum!!!)

01. "Ned and Stacey" - This is one of the few shows where I actually like the first episode.

05. "Saul and Ellen and Ned and Stacey" - I just thought it was a derned funny show.

24. "The End? (part 1)" - I especially liked the scene during the ending credits, where Ned drops the old lady down the flight of stairs.

37. "Fifteen A-Minutes" - It's been a while, but I remember laughing hard at this one.

46. "Best of Luck on Future Projects" - Ned tells Stacey he loves her, and then leaves for good.

AW! You did it according to episode number, I just ranked my favorites!
Anyway, I must admit what the first episode WAS good. I liked the tan double-breasted sportcoat Ned wears when he's at the office.
I should really start a "Ned's Best Suit" thread.

I couldn't decide the order from most favorite, so I just got out the episode guide and put them in that order. However, I do believe the first episode really is my #1 favorite. The only other first episode of a TV show I really like is the "NewsRadio" pilot. Although I'm a big Wings fan, it's first episode really didn't do it for me.

The first seasons of "Wings", "Dinosaurs" and "The Simpsons" are all pretty bizarre because they were going for the subversive humor that was so popular all the time. When "Wings" started out, it seemed to have the theme of 'family and friends' (Brian and Joe reuniting, becoming friends with the airport staff, ect) and as it got older, it was more focused on sexless singles of the '90s.
I liked how Thomas Haden Church always sort of had an alpha/beta/final thing going on with Lowell... especially in the first two seasons.
Don't you just LOVE it when a show is trying to establish itself? The characters and story keep changing and it's fun to watch. Of course, that never happened with Family Guy or Futurama becase everything on TV has a firm mood and establishment now! There are rarely ever any quirky first seasons these days.
