* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife''. Joe Murray has listed a few episodes as his favourites:
** "I Have No Son" (the episode where Rocko and Filburt try to reunite Ed and Bev Bighead with their estranged son) and "Wacky Delly" (the episode where Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt create an animated series that Ralph Bighead hopes will get him out of his contract), and ''not'' because he did the voice of Ralph Bighead, but rather how true to life they are in regards to the animation industry; particularly how "Wacky Delly" satirizes contractual obligations with studios and networks.
** "Zanzibar" was an idea proposed for a musical episode that Joe was willing to participate in, but the only condition he had was that Rocko could not sing at all - hence the plot detail that Rocko somehow missed [[MusicalWorldHypothesis all of the rehearsals]] for the impromptu musical numbers.
** "Fatal Contraption" because it was a throw-back to Joe's earlier work in animation before ''Rocko'', in which many of his cartoons lacked any dialogue.
** "Who's for Dinner?", because of the mature way they handled Heffer learning of, and dealing with, the fact that [[ObliviousAdoption he's adopted]].
** "Jet Scream", because of how it reminded him of the times he traveled by plane to Korea and back to check on the animation during the show's first season.

* In December 1983, ''Series/SixtyMinutes'' aired a report titled "Lenell Geter's in Jail", which chronicled a Texas black man serving life in prison after a wrongful armed robbery charge; ten days later, the state released Geter in response to the scathing criticism in the report. The show won Peabody, George Polk, and duPont-Columbia awards, and creator Don Hewitt called it the show's finest work.
* ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow''
** When asked to pick one episode has his favorite, Creator/AndyGriffith said "Barney's First Car" was it.
** Creator/DonKnotts has said that "The Pickle Story" is his favorite episode, because he liked the overtone message of the story of people going to extreme lengths to avoid hurting someone's feelings - in this case, Andy and Barney quietly switching out Aunt Bee's nasty homemade pickles for delicious store-bought pickles to show they do enjoy her pickles.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** Creator/JossWhedon named "[[Recap/AngelS02E07Darla Darla]]" as his all-time favorite episode, during an "Attack of the Show" interview, while Creator/JulieBenz named the flashback scenes are "the high points" of playing Darla; her favorite scene is the Boxer Rebellion.

* ''Series/{{Bewitched}}''
** Creator/ElizabethMontgomery's two favorite episodes were:
*** "Driving is the Only Way to Fly," which was Creator/PaulLynde's first appearance on the show, pre-Uncle Arthur - they both really enjoyed working together, which is why Uncle Arthur was later created to have Lynde on the show on a semi-regular basis.
*** "Sisters at Heart" was penned by a 10th-grade English class, whose favorite show was ''Bewitched''; although one of the show's underlying messages was tackling prejudice, this episode was the gutsiest one (though tame by today's standards) in tackling racism head-on with Tabitha wishing she and her friend could be "real" sisters, despite the different colors of their skin.
** Creator/DickYork's favorite episode was "I Confess," as it took a chance on seeing just what Darrin's and Samantha's lives would be like if the secret of Samantha being a witch ''was'' made public, along with the underlying BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor plot point.
* ''Series/BlakesSeven'':
** Creator/MichaelKeating's favourite was "[[Recap/BlakesSevenS3E6CityAtTheEdgeOfTheWorld City on the Edge of the World]]".

*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush Hush]]"
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E16TheBody The Body]]"
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E16Doppelgangland Doppelgängland]]": "Because one Willow is certainly not enough."
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish The Wish]]": "Very bleak, very fun. It went to a dark place, and that's really exciting to me. That's where I live."
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E22BecomingPart2 Becoming (Part 2)]]": "Buffy loses everything. Also, it had a SwordFight. I love sword fighting."
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E22Restless Restless]]": "Most people sort of shake their heads at it. It was different, but not pointless.2
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E7ConversationsWithDeadPeople Conversations with Dead People]]": "I'm very fond of "Conversations with Dead People". I just thought structurally and tonally it was very interesting and had a lot to say. And I got to write another song."
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E12ProphecyGirl Prophecy Girl]]": "Because that was my first time, besides telling directors what to do, that I actually got to direct. And it was the first time I got to kill Buffy, and the first season ender, and it was the first time I realized I could take everything we did in the season and tie it in a bow."
** Creator/SarahMichelleGellar talked to ''Entertainment Weekly'' about her personal favourite episodes:
--->I loved "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E20TheProm The Prom]]". It stood for everything Buffy was about: the fact that she so badly wanted to be part of the other kids' lives. I think "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E16TheBody The Body]]" is pretty amazing. I loved [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E16WhoAreYou the episode in which Buffy and Faith switched]]. That was one of my all-time favorites because I thought [[Creator/ElizaDushku Eliza]] was so great. And also [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E22BecomingPart2 when Buffy realizes she has to kill Angel and she kills him and he comes back]]. Those are my favorites.
** Creator/AlysonHannigan told ''Entertainment'' Weekly which her favourite episodes were in an interview in October 2005:
*** "Hush": "It was a whole new way of figuring out how to act, the not-talking thing."
*** "The Body": "I just remember the no sound, no music - it was so disconcerting."
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E11Ted Ted]]": "Creator/JohnRitter was the best. We would all just hang out in his trailer and be like, 'Hi, John Ritter!!' and he didn't care. And, we got to shoot at a mini-golf place."

--->I'd have to say, out of respect for my character, "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E16Storyteller Storyteller]]". I just got to make such an ass out of myself. It was so much fun. Dancing in a toga on a hillside singing with unicorns was pretty embarrassing. I don't do that sort of thing ever in my down time. So, I just had so much fun doing it, but I loved [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E5Selfless Emma's history episode this year]]. It was really funny. And I'm a huge fan of "The Body".

* ''Series/HogansHeroes''.

I could never hold on the money," when Klink burned the money, but he could not remember the actual episode it came from.[[/note]]
* ''Series/HRPufnstuf'': Marty Krofft's favourite episode is "The Mechanical Boy" because Jack Wild's acting chops came into play with Jimmy being under a Witchiepoo spell that has turned him into a mechanical boy, programmed to steal Freddie the Flute and bring it to her within 24 hours.

* Creator/JohnThaw's favourite episodes of ''Series/InspectorMorse'' were "The Dead of Jericho", "Masonic Mysteries" and "Promised Land".
* ''Series/LandOfTheLost'': The pilot episode, "Cha-Ka," is Sid Krofft's favorite, as he enjoyed both the excitement and the challenge of bringing a new concept to life for the first time, and making something special out of it (especially, considering this is actually one of [[Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions Sid & Marty Krofft's]] longest-running series). In fact, for those reasons, Sid tends to often favor the pilot episodes of his and Marty's shows.
* During the summer of 2015 Creator/MeTV ran a ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'' weekly marathon showing the casts' (Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, Eddie Mekka) favorite episodes of the series.

* ''Series/{{MASH}}'':
** Creator/producer Larry Gelbart has said that one episode that really sticks out in his mind is the WhamEpisode from the first season, ''[[Recap/MashS1E17SometimesYouHearTheBullet Sometimes You Hear the Bullet]]'', because it was the first episode they did that truly mixed comedy and drama, with the subplot of Hawkeye being powerless to save the life of his wounded childhood friend; from that moment on, Gelbart and the other producers really felt the show had found the tone they were looking for.
** "Dear Sigmund" is among Creator/AlanAlda's favorite episodes; he had always felt that Allan Arbus was convincing as psychiatrist Sidney Freedman, and felt he [Arbus] needed ADayInTheLimelight, so he wrote this episode, not only to give Sidney his own episode but to also play with the idea that sometimes psychiatrists may need a psychiatrist.
** "Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?" is Gary Burghoff's favorite episode, not merely because Radar's real name is finally revealed, but being a Christian in RealLife, Burghoff found the idea of a shell-shocked bomber pilot being so fed up with killing innocent people and the horrors of war that he convinces himself he's Jesus Christ to be intriguing.
** "Period of Adjustment" is a favorite of Mike Farrell, as the episode really required himself to stretch his acting abilities far beyond B.J.'s usually calm and serene demeanor by being violently upset over his daughter, Erin, calling Radar "Daddy."
** "Mulcahy's War" is a favorite of William Christopher, because Father Mulcahy was given a chance to not only get a little taste of action by taking a trip to the front lines (against Potter's wishes) but also gets the chance to be a hero by saving a casualty's life, while under fire.
** ''[[Recap/MashS2E14HotLipsAndEmptyArms Hot Lips and Empty Arms]]'' is one of Loretta Swit's favorite episodes, because even though this was still fairly early in the show's run, it was already clear that Margaret had a lot of internal conflict, regarding her military career, her affair with Frank, and even her overall life in general.
** Harry Morgan often considered, despite the fact he wasn't playing Colonel Potter in it, ''[[Recap/MashS3E1TheGeneralFlippedAtDawn The General Flipped At Dawn]]'' to be one of his top favourites.
* ''Monty Python's Personal Best'' is a six-episode PBS miniseries in which the five remaining Pythons discuss and show their favorite bits from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''. The five collaborated on the sixth episode, showcasing deceased member Creator/GrahamChapman. A few sketches appear in more than one episode; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9SSOWORzw4 "Fish Slapping Dance"]] holds the record with four, marking it by extension the group's collective favorite.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow''. Creator/JimHenson's favorite episode is when Harry Belafonte guest-starred, specifically the show's closing number, "Turn the World Around," which featured a number of puppets designed to look like traditional African masks, which Henson felt was among the best work his Muppet team ever did.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
** Joel's favorite episode was ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople Pod People]]'', because "the entire production seems to be [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs one big misunderstanding]]".

** Mike cited the post-finale episode, ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E03MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders]]'', as his own favorite: "Creator/ErnestBorgnine traumatizing his poor grandson with a bizarre story of demons, evil monkeys and roasted cats -- can't beat that."
** Jonah's favorite thus far has been ''Film/CarnivalMagic''.
* ''Series/TheNoddyShop'':
** According to [[http://kidscreen.com/2001/01/01/30572-20010101/ an interview]] published before the British premiere of ''Series/AceLightning'', Rick Siggelkow, the show's creator, considers the entire series this out of the four he's done because [[EarnYourHappyEnding every episode had a happy ending]] and he wants to work at the shop.
** Frank Meschkuliet's favorite episode is "[[ChristmasSpecial Anything Can Happen At Christmas]]".
** Kyle Kass' favorite episode was "Dance To Your Own Music", because [[TheCastShowoff he got to dance in the episode.]]
* ''Series/TheOddCouple1970'': Jack Klugman and Tony Randall's favorite episodes were "[[Recap/TheOddCouple1970S2E4Sleepwalker Sleepwalker]]", "Password", "Last Tango in Newark", and "[[Recap/TheOddCouple1970S4E6TheNewCar The New Car]]".

* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': Averted. During the tour to retire his original material, Creator/JerrySeinfeld decided to field some questions for the audience. One person asked him what his favorite ''Seinfeld'' episode was. He replied that he didn't have one saying "They're all my babies. I love each one. Comedy is really a survival art. It's like asking 'What's your favorite breath of air?' 'Whatever keeps me going to the next one.'"
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** Norman Lovett named "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season II Queeg}} Queeg]]" as his favourite episode. Notably, it's one of the few episodes to focus on Holly.

* ''Series/SesameStreet''. Caroll Spinney has often said that the episode dealing with Mr. Hooper's death was the best ''Sesame Street'' ever did; explaining Mr. Hooper's absence was a debate behind the scenes, but the decision to truthfully explain his death to children in the manner of which they did, and the genuine emotion on the set the day of taping, made this Sesame's finest moment in Spinney's memory.
