Post scenes from TV series' where you first realized "this show is going to be GREAT!" [View all]

LOST - "Don't tell me what I can't do!" from the episode "Walkabout." The cinematography and the acting was superb in this scene. LOST went from being a weird new show to something truly special. Many new show have since tried to be the "new LOST" but they've all failed where LOST succeeded: it's characters and making you actually care about them.

West Wing - "I am the Lord your God" from the pilot episode. The West Wing hit the ground running with an excellent introduction to President Bartlet.
