Top 10 T.V. Episodes


I figure that because of the writers strike, its pretty hard to write anything thats recent news so i decided to create my Top 10 favorite t.v. episodes. This is subject to change after I see the 8 new lost episodes that are supposed to be ridiculously awesome. I tried not to reveal anything that would ruin any series.

10. How I Met Your Mother- "Slap Bet"- Absolutely hilarious. If you haven't seen it, watch it!
9. 30 Rock- "Rosemary's Baby"- I could not stop laughing.
8. Friends- "The one the Morning After"- This episode was after Rachel finds out Ross slept with the copygirl while they were "on a break". This is probably the deepest and most emotional episode in Friends' history besides when Chandler and Monica got engaged. Ross and Rachel cry together over their breakup while the other four friends are in Monica's room listening. This was a very clever way to bring humor into an otherwise very sad episode.
7. Friday Night Lights- "Black Eyes and Broken Hearts" This show deserves to be on this list somewhere. Most episodes are consistently really good, but this one stood out to me. This is one of the best dramas on T.V.
6. The Office- "Casino Night"- I mean we were all waiting for Jim to admit he loved Pam. This episode wasn't the funniest episode of The Office ever but definitely one of my favorites.
5. Dexter- "The British Invasion"- Great episode. This show kept me from losing faith in TV
4. Lost- "Live Together, Die Alone"- This was the finale of season 2 which I thought was the best lost episode until I saw season 3's finale. Clearly these Lost writers no how to get us coming back for more.
3. Veronica Mars-"Leave it to Beaver"- This episode sealed the deal on the already underrated t.v show. It was the season finale of season 1 and had the awesome quirky side of Veronica and the same level of suspense as Lost or Heroes.
2. Alias- "Phase One"- This is one of the best shows ever so I felt it was needed on my list. This is my favorite episode.
1. Lost- "Through the Looking Glass"- This was the season finale of season 3. My favorite episode of television ever. Definitely sad when "you know who died" but they definitely couldn't have done it better. Everything about this episode redeemed their season 3 downfalls.

Okay, Casino Night, despite all of its merits, is certainly not the best episode. This is an entirely objective fact. Drug Testing is the best beyond any reasonable doubt. Many of the best/most hilarious moments of the series can be found in that episode. (i.e. Dwide Schrude)It's Shakespearian in all of the best ways, and in my opinion Pam and Jim have better moments in Drug Testing than Casino Night. The jinx makes a sweet little story, and gives Jim the opportunity to show off his best close acting skills. Plus, Creed is hilarious, and if you took a drink every time they said "urine" in this episode, you'd get shitfaced. A recipe for success.
