- "The Adventures of Lyta and Gkar" - characters from Babylon 5 who left the station and became travel companions.

5. What is the single funniest moment on TV you have ever seen?
Can't single one out, but several are memorable. Don't know if they are the funniest.
- George Castanza - "It's shrinkage" (Seinfeld)
- George Castanza - "You can't drive it in head first!" (The Parking Space - Seinfeld) - my favorite episode
- The Soup Nazi - "No soup for you" with Elaine (Seinfeld)
- Bapu - "Very bad man, I open Pakistani restaurant... where are the customers?" (Seinfeld)
OK. yes, I watched a lot of Seinfeld but I cannot say I saw them all.
Funniest tragic moment on TV: Rosalyn Shays on L.A. Law - Going down......
So many great answers!
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with Iron Maiden's "The Prisoner," inspired by that crazy show? It's from one of their best albums, The Number of the Beast.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you stole my X-Files answer for number 3. Not only did I stick with it, but I still kinda liked it, even in the Doggett season.
Good ones!
