    In the mini list of top final episodes, Breaking Bad doesn't make the list? Really?

    That was kind of my thought. You'll never convince me that one episode of Laguna Beach or Keeping Up With The Kardashians is better than the entire series of The Shield.

    Also, there have been a few devastating episodes of Baskets.

    I was waiting for a Sunny episode, and it's Chardee MacDennis? That is terrible! That ep is super forced. You could have chosen 50 different episodes.


    I love the inclusion of a Teen Jeopardy ep. I would watch that one.

    I agree with every word of this. The pilot, the finale, and the season (5?) finale when Lem dies are all top-10 quality.

    Also, the finale of 24’s first season needs to be much, much higher.

    Never heard of or seen 90% of those shows.

    No Blacklist? No Person of Interest? No Barnwood Builders? No Fixer Upper?

    Bullshit list for hipster doofi.

    I suppose a lot of that comes right down to reality TV. I can't waste my time with it, either (although I did a car-crash watch of Mama June on Friday night). But it's pablum for the millennium masses.

    Yeah, that list made me feel like I've barely turned on the TV in the last 17 years. Then again, in that span I've pretty much only watched sports, Mad Men, Pawn Stars and more sports.

    The rule that each series could only have one episode clearly has a big impact on the list. There is far too much reality TV for my taste and I think the lone episode from The West Wing, "Two Cathedrals," is too low. There is far too much on that list that I haven't seen.

    Yeah, I would love to see a list with the best episodes in TV history.

    Interesting list. Didn't understand the love for the OC, but they mentioned the other shows it spawned. Seemed not to connect the Real Housewives franchise though.
    Agree on Shield. Nothing from Sons of Anarchy either. Would have gone with "The Fly" for Breaking Bad - or the ep where Walt lets Krysten Ritter die, which led to Jesse's spiral and the airline crash.
    Figured there was an episode or two of the Real World that probably should have been on there - particularly in Denver.
