Wow, there are so many great moments mentioned. I'll add (and repeat!) a few:
**The VO that Irv does in the beginning of the last episode of S1, explaining how Colin and Andy's tragedies 'kept in time with one another.
In that same episode, when Amy, Colin and Bright skip a day of school before Colin's 2nd surgery.
As another poster mentioned, I LOVED the scene when Andy offers to take on Harold as a partner in his practice, and thus, Harold is able to have his insurance reinstated, because of Andy's standing. And right before that, I loved when Andy confides in Harold the recurring dream that he has (the one that was set in real-time, whereby Julia is still alive, and Andy meets them at 'Gabriel's' - that restaurant in Manhattan that they took the kids to on Fri nites. Anyway, when Andy walks in and sees his family at the table (he's late, as usual), he has this incredible 'look of love' in his eyes, in the dream sequence, when he is watching Julia and the kids from a distance, before joining them. I found that look to be PRICELESS.
At the party that the Browns had (when Julia's parents visited) when Bright suffers an acute appendicitis, and Harold, Andy, Jacob, with Edna assisting, had to perform an emergency surgery at Andy's office (after Jacob admitted that his hand was shot, and he no longer did abdominal surgery).
One of my all time favs was the 'eulogy' of sorts, that Andy gave at the memorial for Colin at the HS.
Amy and Ephram on the ferris wheel, during their first 'Thaw Fest,' when she brings up Colin's condition again.
This one always bringe me to tears -> when Andy see Linda off at the train station. My heart breaks for Linda, who just wants to have a 'normal' life by then, but she really can't (though I was on the fence about that - it's extremely hard for a man to get AIDS from having vaginal intercourse from a woman carrying the HIV virus - even without a condom. However, he's a widower, so I guess he shouldn't take any unnecessary risks, as minimal as they may be (as Ephram pointed out).
Even though I'm pro-choice, after Harold performs the abortion on Kate, and he goes to church to confess (I thought it was extraordinary how he was able to put aide his own beliefs, in order to benefit this young lady) - it was a very powerful scene to me.
When Andy explains to Delia that he didn't 'kill' Colin (as Delia was confused by what the entire town was saying) - and he gives her the analogy of her hamster, to whom she gave 'people medicine.' It showed how hard it is for a 9 yr old to understand the difference between someone 'dying' because of the given situation and risks, vs. Andy being responsible, as a surgeon, for his death.
One of the lighter scenes when Andy has to have 'the talk' with Delia, after she and her friend find Nina's vibrator, lol
There's so many more, but those are just off of the top of my head...

So many to choose from...
I loved:
-Edna's 'I am a god' rant on Jake's doorstep, when he blabbed to Andy about Ephram's STD test. Ended with her threatening to buy a brooch and stab him.
-Ephram & Amy's infinity and forever break-up talk. Pure heartbreak.
-Tie: Delia's 'this tastes like *beep* outburst/her marching through the drugstore in hockey gear to buy her first maxi-pads.
-Andy's awkward stammerfest with Nina the morning after he learned she had romantic feelings for him. 'Flannel creates heat'--among his best-ever lines.
-Tie: Bright and Hannah's cell phone argument, her from the bathroom at prom/their talk that segued from a philosophical hole-puncher metaphor, to 'sorry for trying to feel you up', then trading I love yous. Priceless.
-Everwood's very last shot. The camera panning up from the Ferris wheel, to the lights of town, to the mountains above, then the stars above all. Beautiful, poignant ending note, with the camera never lingering a second too long.
