Honorable Mention:  "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" is one of my favorite TV show episodes.
Dissenting Opinion:  The show fell victim to outside forces, which led to a couple disappointing story arcs: the Sheena Easton arc and the amnesia arc.

Note:  M is surprisingly strong with TV shows.  Modern Family, Monk, Moonlighting, and Murder She Wrote all missed the cut but would have easily been included in most letters.
