1. My favourite storyline by far was season 5 (DVD) when J.R brought Cliff down due to his own greediness - only for Cliff to make a huge oil strike.
Ken always played Cliff in such a brilliant way, but the story saw him gloat, brag, get very big headed and then he dropped it completely, embezzled from his/his mother's company and ultimately fail...only to rise up (for a short while). Not only was it Cliff's finest hour in the show it was J.R's most devious scheme...a great story and probably had the biggest impact on Cliff's character...leading onwards to Rebecca's death and further misery.
2. J.R tricking Cliff into thinking that he and Jeremy Wendell were plotting against him - Cliff thinking he knew exactly what was going on, sticking it to Wendell while J.R just laughed, leaving Cliff cut out of a big deal because of his own insecurities and paranoia.
3. Digger's 10% of Ewing oil. The story had so many twists and turns, with Cliff willing to do anything - including marrying Jamie to get hold of even more. And just when the Ewings bring him a man to tell him what happens he pulls out Digger's copy of the agreement...brilliant story for Cliff.
4. Cliff's affair with Sue Ellen 2nd time around, only for J.R to set him up - all part of no.1 story, but when he goes to Sue Ellen begging for money it was just classic loser Cliff.
5. 1st affair with Sue Ellen - it was just a lovely story with a very bittersweet ending and the mystery of who John Ross's father was.
6. Cliff's fixation with Mark during Pam and Bobby's separation. Just turning up and dragging her out for meals & picnics, trying to force Pam and Mark together and starting a new company with them to get at J.R - it was gleeful, lovable Cliff.
7. Cliff's obsession with Chinese food. It was just one of those great threads that went right through the series and led to many great scenes with all his different partners.

Thank you for a well thought out post on your favourite story lines with Cliff, but I'm looking at just scenes to compile a top voted result. It would be great if you could single out which of your favourite scenes are with Cliff :hello:
Oh yeah I love that aspect of Cliff's character too!
Also another thing that I find funny is how Cliff is always so self-absorbed. Like when he got that ridiculous painting of himself!

I like the scene at the end of season 6 where Cliff and Afton are in the apartment and Cliff is drunk and he spits on the floor while talking to Afton. This scene makes me laugh uncontrollably each time I see it. "Relationship, thats a JOKE! I cant have a relationship, get out of here."
