There are so many that are great, it's hard for me to rank them. I can rank the season's in order: 1,2,3.

My fav episodes and the reason:
Righteous Brothers (The slashcest hints)
Making a Stand (The slashcest hints and the funny flashbacks to when they're kids)
Prison Break-In (The riot and the scene where Michael and Gob are caught in what looks like a 69 position (Yes, I am a MichaelGob fangirl, deal with it))
Family Ties (Nelly, who was totally awesome, and Gob acting like a vouyer (he was in the room when Nelly was coming onto Michael))
My Mother the Car (Gob coming to Michael's rescue, George Michael and Maebey seeing an R-rated movie about cousin lovin', and Lucille being Lucille)
Beef Consomme (Michael's guilty concience and the fighting on the courthouse steps (Michael attempting to climb up a tree to get away from Gob, rofl))
Sad Sack (Gob's hilarious way of motivating Buster)
Exit Strategy (George Michael and Maebey getting closer, and Gob staying in jail out of ignorance)
Cabin Pressure (Gob's obliviousness and his line about the sleeping bags)
The Sword of Destiney (Hints that Gob was planning an 'accidental' death (there's no way he could have been that stupid))

I tried to do this, but had listed off 10 before I even got to the second season.

Although I am kind of surprised to not see "Not Without my Daughter" listed by anyone. That's one of my absolute favorites.

Pier Pressure hands down. The J. Walter Weatherman running gag may be the most brilliant ever ("He's dead remember? You killed him when you left the door open while the air conditioner was running")and the car scene "If only someone had left a note that we were out of milk" and the boat scene "Sounds like you're saying 'Hit the gas'!" and about a hundred other gags(Michael:"George Michaels grades are falling..." GOB:"Heard about the A minus")all make this one the best ever. The running gag of the family always leaving notes the rest of the episode "Dear Uncle Gob, a friend needs pot. Can you get some? George Michael" and the rest of the series was just great.
"Afternoon Delight" is another of the all time best episodes.
The episode that introduced us to "Gene Parmesan" (Amigos perhaps?)was a great one too.
Of course, I love any episode with Barry Zuchercorn in it (when he did 'The Fonz' hair combing pose in front of the court house mirror I loved it!) and those episodes all rank way up high as well.
Wayne Jarvis episodes rocked too.
The episode where George Michael runs for prez was a riot too.
I only that wish we had more episode's in the 'Arrested' library to choose from!

Me too!
Too bad it's not like Family Guy with it's disappearing, reappearing tricks. Ah well, I'm still holding out hope for a movie.

This is hard and I'll probably think of 10 other great episodes after writing this but here goes:

- Afternoon Delight
- Righteous Brothers
- Pier Pressure
- Amigos!
- Beef Consomme
- Good Grief
- Notapusy
- Sword Of Destiny
- Motherboy XXX (how has this not been mentioned yet?!)
- Let Them Eat Cake

Yeah, I was a big Season 2 fan.

Okay, here goes. In no order:
1. Pier Pressure
2. Not Without My Daughter (just for you, Lyght)
3. Let 'Em Eat Cake
4. Afternoon Delight
5. My Hand to God
6. The Sword of Destiny
7. Meet the Veals
8. Righteous Brothers
9. Good Grief
10. Fakin' It
Hard to narrow it down, but that's probably the best of them. Though it is hard to choose. Season 2 is definitely my favourite season.
