    And not a single 30 for 30? Really?

    As good as it got ...

    No Simpsons. No Band of Brothers.

    I would say putting any reality TV above Lisa's Substitute or in BoB where they stumble upon the concentration camp ruins the list.

    The scene in "Better Call Saul" that was mentioned was a great scene, and McKean nailed it. Hated to see him go.

    But the Mike-centered episode toward the end of S1 was fantastic and probably should've nosed ahead of it as a whole body of work.

    I appreciate them putting a Black Mirror episode on the list. However, San Junipero is the best Black Mirror episode and would have been the better choice.

    The Simpson wasn't good for the last five years of the last century, let alone at any point in this century.

    I've watched a lot of Family Guy in reruns. There is some really edgy shit in some episodes that could have made the list.

    Lisa's Substitute was 1991. (Really?? Lisa's Substitute??)

    It's the best episodes since 2000. Lisa's substitute is 10 years too early. The only episodes of the Simpsons I'd put up for consideration would be Alone Again Natura-diddily or Homr (where the crayon is removed from Homer's brain).

    "The Suitcase" — the finest hour of TV I've ever watched — was No. 2. So I'm good with this list.

    "Oh, come on! Ida was a hellcat? Cooper lost his balls? Roger's writing a book?"

    I watch a lot of TV, but not much reality TV, so it's hard for me to judge them for what they are.

    Outside of that, it's a pretty decent list for something nobody is ever going to agree on. I would have Flight Of The Conchords "Drive By" somewhere in my Top 100.

    If you're going to put a Challenge episode on this list, they picked the right one. That shit Johnny Bananas pulled on Sarah was cold to the fucking core.

    That was a truly odd pick. Like, how is that better than "The Fight" or "Flu Season" or "Ron and Tammy?" Mostly what I remember about the series fianle is how underwhelming and not funny it was, though heartfelt.
