Although I've watched recovery episode a few times, I can't think of a favorite off hand ATM. Unfortunately it's been years since I've been able to watch the series (no cable/satellite trying to recover from a financial blow) although we're looking at online TV services so hope to soon.

I remember hearing the words to the theme song, Suicide Is Painless, for the first time in the movie once it hit TV. I hadn't seen the movie before the series and didn't realize that there were lyrics to it.
