Some series I have just seen so much that I know. Other series may have just left an impression on me. For instance, I know the Miami Vice episode “Glades” has the line “Maybe.......you won’t twitch.”
The Office, Justified, The Unit, among others I’ve seen a bunch.
God Damn GLADEs!!! Great episode and one of the best lines ever.

Their best episode. I always think of the cartoon with a guy standing over a cliff, TV set raised high over his head; the caption: "Somewhere in America, the day after The Mary Tyler Moore show ended"

There are so many that have already been covered so I won’t repeat them. Here are a few others that come to mind for me.
Star Trek TNG: The Wounded Adam 12: Elegy for a Pig All in the Family: Two’s a Crowd Star Trek: Amok Time
Honorable mention to Dragnet: The Big Departure for Joe Friday’s speech at the end, which reigns as true today as it did in 1968.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

X-Files: Bad Blood
Mainly because its very different than the rest of the series, super funny and dark at the same time.

Wonderful series, but I thought the best episode was "The Wheel", (Season 1/Episode 13) where Don pitches his idea for the Kodak "Carousel". Magnificent!

Evan
I have DirecTV and I find it both hilarious and pathetic that Evan is the only episode not available for viewing, and since you say it's one of your favorite episodes of the series, you certainly know why that is. Oh, my, the detectives talk about a cop who was gay and was found out and killed himself. Oh, my, we can't have an episode where there is the slightest hint of homophobia. The irony is that these assholes always talk about "starting a dialogue" which is absolute horse shit, and the fact that you can't see this episode- which, I agree with you, is one of the best of the series- which tries to do exactly that- start a dialogue, is censored and not viewable, proves it to be so.
Most memorable for me in that episode are two things, which are Evan Freed's hard chromed Smith & Wesson Centennial (an original production example and not the reintroduced Centennial), and the "Biko" scene. Great use of that Peter Gabriel tune (love that slo-mo sidestep), and I love Guzman's "EC come, EC go" (easy come, easy go).
