I can't even name a favorite episode but my favorite line is the one where they find out Charlie is burning their trash in the furnace and he says it gives the bar that nice smell that everyone likes, and that it's good for the environment because it floats into the sky and turns into stars. And they just allow it because they don't know enough about stars to dispute it.
I think the one that sealed it for me as one of my favorite shows was The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby from the beginning of the third season. All three story lines were gold.

"What are your dislikes?"When they set up a dating profile for Charlie. Milk steak....
Human meat.
The episode that hooked me was the Season 1 episode where Charlie finds out that he might be a dad, and uses what he believes is his son to woo the waitress, but the kid ends up getting **** faced at Paddy's and throwing up all over the alley.
All-time favorite episode? "The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention". It might be one of the funniest episodes of any show, ever.
"I've only got a few years left, so I might as well get real weird with it. Now, block the wind while I roast this bone!"
The Gang gives Frank an Intervention episode. Wine in a can, Gail the Snail (and the subsequent salting of the snail), Frank getting a handy under the table. I laugh every time I see that episode, no matter how many times I see it.
It was ra-COON meat. You're probably hungry 'cause it was lousy with parasites!
I think it was the second episode I ever saw, and I just lost it. Charlie is amazing in that episode.
But I totally agree, intervention is probably my favorite episode. You know an episode's going to be good when it starts with Frank trying to bag his ex-sister in law at a funeral, and that's the start of a very sharp descent.
