Ever?

There needs to be a few more additions to that list.

Who Goes There: True Detective S1 E4. The neighborhood wide shootout was some of the most intense stuff I have seen on TV.
Love’s Labor Lost: E.R. S1 E10. Green is short staffed in the ER as while dealing with an on over loaded ER he also has to contend with a difficult birth.
Hours 600-800pm: The Pitt. The ER has to deal with a mass casualty event.
Life Time: MASH. Hawkeye has 20 minutes to perform heart surgery on an injured soldier. Man it was edge of your seat viewing.
Best of Both Worlds Parts 1 and 2. Star Trek The Next Generation. It is the s3 finale and the first episode of S4 and man it was awesome.
When we are In Need: The Last of Us. Elle is captured by cannibals and needs to be rescued, but true to form she rescues herself.
Scott’s Tots: The Office. Good lord I have never been able to rewatch it.
The Pilot: Lost. A guy got sucked into a jet engine is all that needs to be said.
