American Housewife had a good one, with dueling scenes based on what would happen if Katie bought one sweater or another.

3-D or Smell-O-Vision episodes are always fun.

The silent episode of Bojack Horseman was a masterpiece.

Trials And Tribble-ations from DS9 was a really fun episode while serving as a loving homage to the original series. You can really tell that everyone wanted it to do well.

The Lower Decks episode from Star trek TNG is one of my favorites, just a standard episode told from the perspective of some junior officers.

Episodes that are from the antagonist's point of view, especially if it's their point of view from a previous episode. It's always interesting to get both sides of things and it's a great way to building up an antagonist and make him seem more human and believable, if done right of course.

Malcolm in the Middle had a few good ones.
Like the bowling episode which showed what happened if Rhys & Malcolm went with Hal and what happened if they went with Lois.
It was really well done.

I tend to love Halloween and Christmas episodes of just about any show.
Any episode of Xena where Xena and/or Gabriel were the bumblers, and Joxer was the awesome hero. I loved Joxer.

I know his brother played Joxer (the name escapes me right now, sadly). It would have been hilarious if Sam had cameoed in that part!

They were identical triplets, Joxer, Jace and Jett.

In some ways, wrestling episodes of sitcoms crack me up because all of a sudden, one of the characters turns out to be a wrestling fan, and one of the wrestlers plays a big role in the episode. Not to mention that wrestling is depicted as a shoot in sitcoms.

I liked Breaking Bad's The Fly. It was an interesting character study sort of an episode. The Fly episode is when I gave up on Breaking Bad. Had been struggling to make it thru the show. Saw that episode and it just didn't hold any appeal to me so I stopped watching.

It was such a blatant awards bait episode, it took me right out of the narrative.

Pinky And The Brain had a good one where we got to see the episode through Pinky's eyes.
I liked the Simpsons episodes where they had 22 stories about Springfield and the one where each character had an act dedicated to them and they all intertwined.

I loved Pinky and the Brain and Larry! to help prove the point to the network that the idea of adding a third character just didn't work... of course the network didn't listen and we ended up with Pinky Elmyra and the Brain... but still...

Once more with Feeling.
Pretty much all of season 5 of Angel loosely falls into this.
Supernaturals Baby and also the musical episode. I really liked it was a high school musical setting and not characters suddenly singing for no reason.
Seinfelds reverse episode is always fun. Also fun to watch it in proper order.
Any other musical episode of anything kills me dead. I completely stopped watching cw dc shows when they announced Glee lite.
