That's a theme of Randy Newman's "Rednecks" (a song that might provide fodder for a good follow-up discussion). The song is written from a Southerner's perspective and mocks the hypocrisy by name-checking heavily African-American neighborhoods in big northern cities. It also uses the N-word quite freely.
However,…

Schneider walks in fear…

Some meathead saw the model and flippantly asked Higgins something like "Big movie fan?" Higgins tapped into his vast reserves of indignation and huffed "I was THERE!"

While nearly every element works perfectly in this episode, one that I think gets overlooked was the performance of guest star John Harkins as the reverend conducting Chuckles' funeral. It's MTM's showcase, but he gives an authentic yet funny performance that sets her up so beautifully.

I always wondered how G.E. Smith was picked to play the grandmother.

I probably got the same compilation for the exact same reason. I think it also included Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero" (pre-9/11 when the term referred to nuclear destruction).

I wasn't an avid "Mad About You" watcher, but "Giblets for Murray" belongs on this list. It's a great combination of family/in-law angst and increasingly slapsticky turkey failures.

Maureen O'Hara's autobiography had some interesting insights on Candy based on their work in "Only the Lonely." Throughout the book, it's clear she was a demanding co-star who had strong opinions on the professionalism required of film actors. For example, she defends Natalie Wood's mother by saying that a lot of…

Garner's character defends his decision to give the LBO to Amex rather than KKR, who first brought the idea to him and essentially invented the process: "Hell, I don't send a nickel to Thomas Edison every time I turn on a light!"

It's probably tough to find online, but it's worth searching for the wickedly funny 1994 New Yorker essay by Martin Amis about tennis "personalities." With the retirements of Connors, Mac, Nastase, etc., people then (as now) bemoaned the lack of personalities in the men's game. His central point is that among tennis…

One of their best. Blanche has trouble pinpointing the father because the conception dated back to a particularly active week for her and Sophia cracks: "You can name the baby after the father—-Billy Joe Bob Fred."

Wes Craven directed "Dealer's Choice." The cast is so good, though the segment goes more for humor than horror with lines like this:

Or fixing the 1919 World Series

While her character was flighty, I would regard Goldie's performance in 1972's "Butterflies are Free" as a dramatic role.

While perhaps not the best episode of the series, I think this
is the one that best captures the show’s essential theme of the interplay
between our true selves and the image we’re putting out for others to see.  What makes this episode so poignant is that most of the time F&G paints this as a high-school ritual, but…

The one Andy Travis moment that sticks out for me is a "Meta before 'Meta' became a thing" exchange.

Obviously Alex wasn't the big laugh-getter, but I think was written and played so well that he remained interesting throughout the show's five-year run.

Johnny rifling through the albums featured on "Gotta Dance," the disco TV show he's reluctantly hosting (under the name "Rip Tide"):

Me too, I'm almost sure it's the one that's remembered most, not just for the plot, but the original starred Steve McQueen and Peter Lorre.  It was one of the '80s remakes and the cast included John Huston and Melanie Griffith.

Like that kid, other one-shot characters in the film also have their little obsessions.  There's the guy eating the left half of the menu in the diner and the old man in the TV store with Stern, insisting on an Emerson.
