"…our Mrs. Peel - OUR MRS. PEEL! - was in Ladies Underwear…" And the way Dianne just blithely folds the clothes…

They did? Glad I stopped watching when Clooney left. (The music cue, when Benson does the Tai-Chi move - mimed along with it every time.)

My memory isn't the best but… wasn't it in that season's finale, and it aired around when Seinfeld finished? And then Sienfeld used it in their "best of" show, just before their final episode, without knowing that ER beat them to it, right?

ok, who else had a crush on Sherry Stringfield? So pretty, but that lovely low, grainy voice hit it out of the park.

The Ross/Greene road trip, to San Diego to scatter Ross' dad's ashes, was pretty brilliant, too. Not many shows can do a complete episode out of the central location well, but this was fantastic. 
And Clooney's appearance at the end of Hathaway's final show was beautifully done.

Ving Rhames doing Barry White, bugging Dr. Benson may well have been the highlight of that entire show. And Eric LaSalle's slow break-up was perfect.
(What episode was that?)

Before TiVo, that episode was brutal to watch - I had to walk around the sofa, taking deep breaths, during the commercials, just to get through it.
And yes, TV ad execs, we ignored the ads before TiVo, too. All 48 million of us.

He didn't doctor the script (William Goldman did that) but he did write two scenes: on the bus at the start, when Tony Soprano is talking about great submarine movies and then yells at a rookie; and the Silver Surfer scene. 
Which isn't that difficult to spot, I suppose.

thanks @avclub-14e4cee178d88fb9aa346dbcc11f2873:disqus didn't know that - and if they had made one more season, they'd have to reshoot the opening titles. In the first season, Tony was half the man he was at the end. (And I always thought it was odd that he would make jokes about how fat Uncle Juniors gofer was.)

Perfect comment - it as lean as any Hollywood thriller I can think of. And I love how expressionistic (even Expressionistic) the lighting design becomes by the end - those banks of soft-focus, blinking, coloured lights behind tight close-ups.

compared to the last season of Sopranos, in Crimson Tide Gandolfini looks like an African middle-distance runner.
