100 best TV episodes of this century

Don't forget Batgirl

 

I've never seen Yvonne DeCarlo outside her Munsters make up. She's incredible.

 

Why doesn't Strahovski get more run. She is incredible.

 

Nothing from "The Shield?"

 

They got an Yvonne on 'The Shield'?

 

I watched Survivor in the first season and most of the second. I got turned off by one episode in which the main clique was ordering the three non-clique members who to vote off, and the non-clique group did a collective "fuck you," to the clique and all voted for the clique's most vulnerable member. One of the non-cliques gets voted off, the other two head back to camp with the clique, who proceeds to start screaming at the non-clique duo for defying them, never once logically thinking about why the fuck would the non-clique care if a clique member wins.

Turned me off for good.

 

From 'Dexter.'
That's a quality Yvonne right there.

 

Another one just dawned on me ... Californication. There were some elite pieces of work in season 1.

 

On the second half of The Watch episode from Thursday, they get into the methodology of the list - Ringer staffers submitted top fives, and from there, the more TV-focused staffers debated the list. Sports and award shows were ineligible. They also limited it to one episode per show, because otherwise it just becomes a Breaking Bad or Mad Men or Game of Thrones ranking. Said they also tried to cast a wide net, so that things like Jeopardy and Price is Right would be on there - shows that people actually do watch pretty much every day.

 

For those that want to listen, a YouTube link is below.

They said they did not expect the criticism re: the Shield. No Ringer staffer included an episode in their top 5, so "there was really nothing we could do there." After the list was released publicly (and they received this feedback), they circulated internally a "Slack" message (how hip!) asking whether anyone felt it had been erroneously excluded. They heard "crickets," or else they would have considered having someone write an article about it for the website this week.

 

Did they consider 30 for 30's to be sports?
