The Rusty Heller Story
In "The Rusty Heller Story," Elizabeth Montgomery took Prohibition-era Chicago by storm as Heller, a seductive Dixie damsel who pits a newly arrived mob faction against Al Capone's teetering empire and then plays both against the cops. "Now don't you go appealing to my decency, because I ain't got any," she drawls to a clearly smitten Ness (Robert Stack). This episode records Capone's arrest and conviction, but it's the glint of a grin Heller brings to Ness's granite mug that carves this episode in TV history.
REWIND Montgomery "was about the last choice for this part," Stack says, "because she was a Foxcroft girl from a society family. How in the world could she play a Southern hooker? But she surprised the bejesus out of everybody. She should have won an Emmy."

The One with the Prom Video is a great episode... but the best episode of Friends is The One where No One's Ready.
Okay, for the first time in history, I just may have to agree with you on that.

FRIENDS - The One With The Prom Video
This may not be the best made episode, but it's perhaps the most memorable. Simon Pegg wrote an article a few months back about this episode and how wonderfully the romance and comedy work in tandem. It's the reason this show worked for so long.

Re: Rogue:  Bookmark this everybody! 
The One With the Prom Video is one of the better Friends episodes. I think a couple other comedies borrowed ideas from this for their flashbacks.
I haven't seen any Untouchables episodes.

I know we've moved on, but while I think "The One with the Prom Video" is one of the best episodes of "Friends," nothing, NOTHING, can top "The One with the Embreyos," where Phoebe is impregnated and the girls lose their apartment to the boys. That was the funniest episode of "Friends" ever.

The one where her brother and his wife ask Phoebe to carry their children was pretty funny. ("I though I could give a more regular wedding gift...a gravy boat, or something.")

I love all seasons of Friends, I think the last 3 seasons are not as funny as the earlier ones but still beloved. If it's in The One with the Embreyos, I like the part:
Rachel: Ooh, Chandler gets the mail, it's Chandler Bing, Chandler Bing!
Monica: Nooooo!
Ross: I'm sorry the correct answer is Chanandler Bong!
Chandler: Actually it's Ms. Chanandler Bong but thanks!

We have the updated title (as I was instructed); we seem to be missing the updated *post.*

THE OUTER LIMITS
The Zanti Misfits
December 30, 1963
In "The Zanti Misfits," our military forces have cordoned off a California ghost town awaiting the arrival of a spacecraft from the planet Zanti. The leaders of that world have decided that Earth is the perfect place to exile their undesirables. They threaten "total destruction" if their penal ship is molested. But a bank robber on the lam (Bruce Dern) crosses the cordon and approaches the Zanti ship, triggering an ugly jailbreak. Earth's nervous soldiers launch an anti-Zanti attack, killing all the aliens -- and fearfully awaiting the expected reprisal. Instead, they get a message of thanks from the Zanti leaders. It seems they can't execute their own kind, so they sent them to the experts on killing -- us.
Haven't seen this one either. I've been wanting to get and watch the old Outer Limits episodes for quite some time now.

Wow, it's been decades since I've seen The Outer Limits. There were a few really good episodes. I think I remember this one.
