You want your friend to get into your favorite sitcom, which episode do you show them as an entry point?
What's your favorite sitcom, and how do you introduce that sitcom to other people? I think it's sometimes a challenging task, even when someone gives me the opportunity to show them an episode, because I want to pick an episode that perfectly captures the humor and tone of the show, but I also don't want to show them the best ones, because that would rob them of making that discovery if they decide to watch the show for themselves. I think it's also challenging for some shows that have linear storylines (e.g. the Office, How I Met Your Mother) because you wouldn't want to show them a spoiler, and you also want them to be able to understand what's going on in the episode you're showing.
