The best 5 minutes of TV you've ever seen?

[AngloSackSon]

Band of Brothers Pt. 2 Day of Days, opening 5 minutes.

Fantastic TV.

[Hubbs]

Last five minutes of season 4 of Lost.

"Did he tell you what he wants us to do?"

"Yes."

"...well?"

"He wants us to move the island."

EDIT: I know, I know, that's not actually in the last five minutes that I mentioned, I just think it's the best line out of that whole series of events.

[Kosher Ham]

Set up a camera in your room, hook it up to the tv.

5 minutes is nothing.

[BigMike21]

First five minutes of Lost season 2 was a huge WTF for me.

[Smoot Point Really]

Sports: Last 5 minutes of Skins/Dallas Brunell-to-Mossx2 (minus commercials)
Other: I'll pick the Jack Bauer/George Mason (dump the bomb off in the desert) scene... There are so many great scenes in that show.

[Capt Rich Fla]

That Cardinal/Green Bay game yesterday was right up there.

[Burgold]

Superbowl XXVII. Doug Williams second quarter.

Best television ever!

[4thHanson]

OMAR IN COURT!!!!

If you don't know the back story it might not be as good but when I first saw this scene I was laughing so hard.

[skinstzar]

Last five minutes of this seasons Dexter. I didn't move for 8 minutes afterwards.

Sports: Last 5 minutes of Skins/Dallas Brunell-to-Mossx2 (minus commercials)


I figured this would be the first response. Sitting next to my buddy, the second bomb, we both jump up, fists raised, he caught my jaw with his left. Knocked me silly.

Season 3, opening credits with Omar and Brother Muzone meeting on the street, slowly drawing their guns. That dialogue is up there.

Then there is the Season 3 finale, Omar and Brother Muzone whack Stringer Bell. Also one of the greatest scenes, from one of the greatest cop shows ever.

[GoSkins561]

Brunell to Moss 2x was pretty freaking exciting.

[rincewind]

Discounting sports -


I loved the end of Season 2 of Mad Men. When Draper informed Duck that he didn't have a contract. ****ing awesome.



All of Band of Brothers - in 5 minute incriments, of course.




Other than that its really hard to pinpoint 5 minutes.

[Peeping Wizard]

That scene when Fonzi jumped the shark while water skiing was incredible television. Really ahead of its time.

[KevinthePRF]

The last 5 minutes of the pilot for The Shield. Although watching the last five minutes in itself would mean little without the entire episode.

[herb mul-key]

fricken any links?

[grhqofb5]

I was going to suggest picking any 5 minutes of the final episode.

[cjcdaman]

This one's easy. The scene in Pulp Fiction where Mia overdoses and Vincent rushes her to Lance's house.

[artmonkforHOF]

I may have my scenes confused, but Entourage , 2nd season, Ari is in a therapy session with his wife, freaks out when he gets a call, takes the call and finds out James Cameron is directing Aquaman. Ari then rushes to his office, chews out and fires the mailroom kid thinking the kid is the agent responsible for knowing that type of information and not informing anyone.

there might be a scene with Vince &the crew in between, either way that is some damn funny tv.

[Perky72]

I was going to suggest picking any 5 minutes of the final episode.

Yeah, that was the first thing that came to mind. My pick would be (I've never used spoiler tags so not sure if this'll work, be warned anyone):






The scene at the barn where Ronnie/Vic learns of Shane's death, then soon after learns from Weems that Vic ratted him out and is arrested. Then Vic is told to get out. It was so much coming to a head and the perfect setting--so many times we saw people trying to get Vic in there, staring at him from balconies, trying to get things to stick. And finally it happened, and finally Vic knows he lost and again screwed a friend over to not lose quite so bad. Man, the acting in that final episode was so good!

[AngloSackSon]

fricken any links?

Band of Brothers
Pt. 2, Day of Days

I was about to write this.

Superbowl XXVII. Doug Williams second quarter.

I just came in to post this, it's also my favorite moment in TV history as well :cheers:

[AngloSackSon]

This one's easy. The scene in Pulp Fiction where Mia overdoses and Vincent rushes her to Lance's house.

Sports moments are absolutely allowed, though cinema on TV should not be considered.

Pulp Fiction was great, though. When I first saw that scene, I was blown away.

[desioreo87]

BAsically almost any scene from the Wire.

Best tv show ever made and I SERIOUSLY doubt any show in the future will come close to it.

And its not a "cop show", its a show about the city of baltimore and those people that live in it.

[AngloSackSon]

And its not a "cop show", its a show about the city of baltimore and those people that live in it.

Perhaps it is generalizing to label The Wire a cop show. Still, that is the central focus of the series, and for the purpose of discussion, it is generally considered such.

[aREDSKIN]

Superbowl XXVII. Doug Williams second quarter.

Best television ever!


Yep this is it without question.

In 5:35 the Skins score 35 points and 356 yards in the 2nd quarter. A record to this day that will not be broken IMO.

[Tarpon75]

Superbowl XXVII. Doug Williams second quarter.

Best television ever!

That's what came to mind for me.

[Califan007]

Last 5 minutes of the first season of Nip/Tuck lol :applause:...

First 5 minutes of the first episode of Lost...almost no dialog, just Jack waking up in the middle of a jungle, completely disoriented (as was the audience)...then little by little showing what he just "woke up" from with the plane crash on the beach.

[Pskins]

the opening 5 minutes of Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica.
Coolest sequence shown on TV IMHO.

[EersSkins05]

I like the Band of Brothers and Wire nominations.

My favorite part from the Wire was the scenes already mentioned (specifically Omar in the courtroom) and also the scene from Season 1 with the Kima shooting.

[Skins4Life6388]

Entourage when Ari goes and smacks the taste out of Davies mouth. i love this part

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5UU3TravUk&feature=related

[AngloSackSon]

I tried to find a clip of the Season 5 scene (one of the last eps.) where Kima and McNulty are listening to the FBI profile of his imaginary serial killer. Such a classic scene, as McNulty's character is described to a tee.

I came across this scene, where Marlo is surprised by Avon during a prison visit.
