Play the Iconic TV Episodes Crossword

With so many great dramas and sitcoms over the decades, it’s not always easy to rank the best episodes of television, but it is always fun! For this Puzzler’s theme, Iconic TV Episodes, the editors dove even deeper into these series to choose the outstanding episodes, and even moments, that we all remember and love. There’s the funny: Carol Burnett descending a grand staircase as Starlet O’Hara wearing an even grander gown that looks suspiciously like a window curtain on The Carol Burnett Show; Mary Richards laughing uncontrollably at a funeral for Chuckles the Clown on The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Sammy Davis Jr. planting a kiss on Archie Bunker on All in the Family; and the Soup Nazi shouting “No soup for you!” on Seinfeld. There’s the dramatic: young Laura Ingalls’ painful regret for not praying for a sick brother on Little House on the Prairie; Sgt. Phil Esterhaus unexpectedly passing away on Hill Street Blues; and the shocking violence of the Red Wedding on Game of Thrones. And then there are some of the most-watched episodes ever, when we all found out who shot J.R. on Dallas and when the doctors and nurses of M*A*S*H left Korea for good. So read on about these and even more amazing episodes, and good luck with the crossword!
