Hey y'all! You may remember the "Best Sitcom Character Ever" contest I had a while back... well now, I'm back with another one. This time, we'll be deciding what the Best TV Episode Ever is.

RULES:

1) You'll receive fifteen nominations: thirteen ordinary ones, and two "double nominations." As the name implies, each double nomination is worth two ordinary ones!

2) You can nominate no more than four different episodes from a single series.

3) This contest will be held on five different boards: GameFAQs Contests (Board 8), Poll of the Day, Current Events, Television: Broadcast TV and Television: Cable and Satellite. Only submit your nominations in one of the threads.

4) You can change your nominations as often as you like. Don't edit your original post, though - make a new post detailing the change(s)!

5) No alts.

6) Nominations will last for a week. After the nomination phase, I'll choose the 64 most nominated drama episodes, the 64 most nominated comedy episodes, and I'll make separate brackets for each group. Then, the winner of the drama side will face the winner of the comedy side in the final match!

I think that covers it! Fire away!

It will be on a case-to-case basis. If both episodes aired back to back on the same night, they should be fine; so My Finale counts as a single episode, as well as something like "The Boyfriend" from Seinfeld. However, I'll count, say, "House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart" as separate episodes.

True! On a side note, if there's one thing I've taken from the nominations so far, it's this: Remedial Chaos Theory will almost certainly be the main 1-seed for the Comedy bracket.
