The Best & Worst of 1999
Sorry guys, these lists are all around me and I thought why not give it a whirl with the object of my year-long obsession!! With apologies if I saw a scene differently than you did... and please feel free to add your own ...
Most Romantic Moment: A toughie, but I think I'll have to go with Bauer Post-Shower Bedroom scene when they are THIS close and Danny says he'll give it all up for her. (Admittedly, this scene probably won because of the whisker burn in the scene after ...)

Second place award to move/line that slipped past the censors Danny's hands all over Michelle's backside and right under, well, you know where they were in the Palace
Cheesiest Manny Moment Can I slip the woodsy bed in here as well? Oh, and lest we forget, Michelle in Nutsberry Farm crying to Doc Bradford, "He's my husband, and I love him" pounding on chest for emphasis.
Most serious scene that turned into a laugh riot Danny struggling to get a rigormortis inflicted Michelle off of that Nutsberry Farm cot and out the door without dropping her

Most Disappointing lack of follow-through scene After kissing bandit Danny scaled the heights to Michelle's bedroom after Reva's wedding to partake in seventy seconds worth of sensual stolen kisses, an off screen noise kept our lovebirds off screen for the entire next episode.
Best follow-through scene After Michelle and Danny sang a few bars of "O Holy Night", they actually woke up in bed together in the next episode! The scenes that followed were some of the best, most poignant Manny scenes ever, IMO. I absolutely LOVED the dialogue, Danny's gift and reassurances, Michelle's being upset throughout that she didn't have a gift for him, and Manny clinging to one another for dear life.

Best "Duh!" Moment for Danny Danny realizing he had caller ID on his cell phone when Michelle was kidnapped
Best "Duh!" Moment for Michelle Realizing that she had proof against Carmen when Bill told her about the clock being stopped by a bullet.
