For me, one of the most memorable episodes was the very second one "First Day at School," the one where JR starts a rumor that his family moved in order for his dad to escape the law. There are so many great lines and exchanges.
When JR gets teased about his dad's appearance he tells two kids:
JR: He shaved his head to disguise himself.
Kid 1: Why, is being fat a federal offense?
JR: No. Back at my old school, he killed a kid...just to watch him die!
When Graham runs into a kid in the hall:
Graham: Hey! Why don't you watch where you're going?
Kid [in a panic]: Yes sir! I mean no sir! I mean AHHHHHHHHH! [runs away]
Graham : Sir...I like that.
It esclates from there, and Graham finally has a talk with JR when he learns about his lie:
Graham: Think about your sisters! Not one boy in the school will touch them. [realizing that's a good thing, he smiles to himself]
JR: Hey, you smiled!
Graham: No I didn't, that was just gas.
