The Best Moments of Sons of Anarchy Season One

The Sons have been through a lot over the past three seasons -- they have lost friends and shed gallons of blood, sweat and tears. SAMCRO will ride again in September, so remind yourself why Sons of Anarchy is one of the finest shows on TV with these greatest hits from Season One.

Clay Morrow Meets with the One-Niners – Episode 1

While it certainly wasn't one of Sons of Anarchy’s most explosive moments, Clay Morrow's meeting with Laroy Wayne was important nonetheless. It was not only an early glance at the expansive California underworld that the show would later mine for drama and conflict, but it was a clear reference to another successful FX drama: The Shield. While we haven't seen any characters from the Michael Chiklis-starring show appear on Sons of Anarchy (yet, at least), the very fact that they take place in the same world is a cool nod and serves to lend the newer show some of the older one's credibility.
