The One With...

When somebody wishes to discuss an episode of a TV programme and they can't remember what it's called, they will usually describe it as "The one with..." or "the one where..."

Sometimes, such a phrase will literally be used as a name for something (which may lead to slight confusion similar to Who's On First?).
