The Big Bang Theory. Episode 15. "The Pork Chop Indeterminacy" All three guys keep hitting on Sheldon's sexy twin sister.

Wow. Hilarious from start to finish. A simple idea driven by the characters behaviour and a truly amazing collection of one-liners.

Courtney Henggeler

Courtney Henggeler is sexy beyond belief. She's also funny.

CSI. Season 6, Episode 5. "Gum Drops" Nick and Sara examine an empty house, filled with blood. Despite all evidence to the contrary Nick comes to believe that the family's ten-year-old daughter is still alive. Somewhere...

An grossing and wonderful story. CSI offers up something that no other TV does: the mundane aspects of crime solving. Nick and Sara are heroes with boring jobs: they take photographs, label things and pick up gum wrappers. And the show doesn't gloss over those things. It pops cool music on the soundtrack and shows us what these guys do on a day to day basis.

Few episodes are as involving as this one. This particular story manages to create an emotional link between the viewer and the missing family (particularly the young girl that Nick feels a bond with).

This is a great Nick episode. Nick is a great character. He's not a typical TV tough guy. He cried once when a bad guy pulled a gun on him. Consequently, he's more interesting than most TV heroes in crime procedurals.

He took a major emotional battering in the season 5 finale, so he need this win. Particularly a win where he could save someone in a - somewhat - similar situation to the one he was in himself.

The ending is beyond superb. The visuals lead us to believe the girl is dead, and the revelation that she is not successfully brings a tear to the eye.

Greek. Episode 20. "A Tale of Two Parties" Omega Chi and Kappa Tau each throw a party to celebrate the end of the campus restrictions. Rusty has to learn how to break up with a girl who only wants sex from their relationship. Casey goes in search of a new relationship. Evan goes in search of Casey, while Frannie watches him and pines for him...

The funniest teen drama on television. Great stories and great characters. There isn't one dully character, one dull story or one dull scene. Most are laugh-out-loud funny and most of what happens is best described as drama not soap.

Tiffany Dupont is simply gorgeous in this episode. I'm not 100% sure I can trust Frannie just yet, but I am very happy to watch Tiffany Dupont's hair every week until I am sure!!

NewsRadio. Season 3, Episode 4. "Arcade" Unusual to find Dave being the crazy one, but Dave Foley is great fun to watch as his character becomes obsessed with an arcade game from his youth.

The rest of the characters engage in their usual craziness, but Mr. James gets the funniest scene when he gets emotionally involved in the arcade game and cries when his family are 'killed' by aliens.

Highlight? CSI (saving the little girl)
