>G Gordon Liddy
I still can't believe he had a recurring role in Super Force.

Wasn't the Supernatural one where they play "Heat of the Moment" every time the loop repeated?

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: "Endless Eight" episodes.
Eight of the 28 episodes of the series are each mostly the same as the other seven, with slight differences, until the time loop is broken in the eighth episode. Thankfully, the repetitive episodes came in the second season.
They aired one after the other, in their regular weekly timeslot, so I can only imagine how frustrated viewers were as it first aired, wondering why this episode is pretty much the same as the last, and the one before that...

Honestly. Love it to pieces. Trickster episodes are such a treat.

3/31 is a Friday.. they have ~2 full weeks.
​
my tin foil hat theory is they're waiting until possible indictments drop on a certain former POTUS. Nixon will start "trending".. every talking head is going to say it 20x a night - that's a lot of free PR.

Probably waiting for a major political event to take place this year, then release plumbers to take advantage of the interest.

Nice research.

Discovery season 1 had a good one, with the villain in control of the loop. Also my favorite Discovery episode

Episode’s title is ‘As I Have Always Been’.
Great episode, that’s my pick also.

You’re correct but I thought it counted enough as one in spirit to throw it on the list!

Well you basically already listed most of my favorites, except for the first episode of Bravest Warriors, a web show by Pendleton Ward. I love it because at the beginning of the episode they find themselves from the previous time loop dead on the floor, so they try prevent that from happening, >!but at the end of the episode they die anyway in the same way next to their other dead selves, time loops back and when the next version of them sees two other versions already dead they say nope and just leave without fixing the time loop. Because even when knowing they were gonna die they couldn't stop it, so obviously they couldn't do it, better to just give up and dip.!<

Charmed has an outstanding Groundhog Day episode called "Deja Vu All Over Again". Season 1 episode 22. So well done.
Surprised at the Buffy mentions on here. It was only a couple minutes of Groundhog-ness...That's the power of Buffy though. Endlessly iconic.

"Heaven Sent" is interesting in that it is the exact opposite of a time loop! >!In that, time doesn't loop, and it's the Doctor himself that's reset between each 'loop'!<
This tripped me up on first watch, because I thought it was a time loop episode, but realised that that would create some plot holes >!If it was a time loop episode, then everything would reset, and thus the whole point of bashing the diamond wouldn't make sense!<
But it's explicitly not a time loop, and therefore certain observations change between each loop >!(gradually over time, the stars change postions)!< which is how he realises each time he's looping.

Mostly looking forward to the actor playing G Gordon Liddy and his pornstache.

That was a great guest character who should have been given a follow up episode. Or really any follow up from a whole crew finding themselves flung into the future.
