Members CSW Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 The Futon Critic does an annual list of its top 50 episodes in prime time. Here is the link for what they have listed so far: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/rant.aspx This got me thinking. Here are some of my picks for best episodes: 1. Battlestar Galactica: Exodust Parts 1 & 2 Not only did they blow their special effects budget on that amazing rescue scene, the show runners pulled out all the emotional tricks to prove that this is not only the best Sci-fi show on TV but the best Drama on TV. Period. 2. Weeds: Pittsburg Cliffhangers done the way no soap has every done... This delightfully twisted but perfect ensembe drama one of the most underrated cast on TV. Lead by Mary Louise Parker, this pisode brought the whole season to a head when the drug-deal goes wrong. 3. West Wing: Tomorrow A more fitting tribute could not have been written by Sorkin himself. An uplifting sendoff for the characters and actors who dealt with the most serious issues plaguing the World showed that, despite the weight of it all, these people are truly remarkable public servants. 4. Boston Legal: Race Ipsa When Denny shoots his therapist we, the audience, are taken for the best ride yet. With quotes like this one, who could ask for more... "Denny: Canada, Japan, England. Any number of those pinko countries. I'd be in jail for shooting somebody. Alan: God bless America" 5. The Office: Gay Witch Hunt Hil-ari-ous. 6. Scrubs: My Lunch I personally think season 5 was the best so far and this episode demonstrates why. Dr. Cox tries so hard to stop patients from dying as the show blends comedy and drama like no other. 7. Desperate Housewives: Bang If Weeds can deliver the most underrated cast the DH delivers the most overrated... but with good cause. Everyone showed up in this episode, arguably the best episode of the series, and we lost the most annoying character ever: Nora. 8. Grey's Anatomy: End of the World... I liked the shower scene teaser and that might have been enough to make my list regardless but the whole episode sustained a type of hyper-intensity that kept everyone coming back for more. 9. Prison Break: Go They did it, they did it... the f*ck'n finally did it. They made it over the wall in this episode that had me testing my blood pressure just to make sure it was healthy enough to keep up with this episode. Intense. 24: 6:00-7:00PM Edgar's death was heartbreaking and so much fun to watch. I still contend that 24 jumped the shark last season but this episode was good. 10. Veronica Mars: Not Pictured Veronica Mars at her Best. 11. Lost: Live Together, Die Alone Best Episode of a stellar season brought about by the best flashback story since Locke and the truth the hatch revealed. 12. Lost: Two for the Road Ana-Lucia and Libby met Michael for the last time... and does Jack have have sister? Just goes to show that no actor should get drunk and drive after the xmas party. 13. Entourage: Sorry, Ari Perfect season ender with great zingers and, as always, Ari working on the ledge... I almost felt sorry for him when Vince pushed him over.

Members DaysnPassionsFan Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 1. "Pilot," FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (NBC) I have never seen a television series episode filled with so much emotion from happiness, sadness, shock, faith, hope... add some of the best performances on all of television... perfect. 2. "Occupation/Precipice," BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (SCIFI) I didn't know where they were going after the season 2 finale, but they knocked it out of the park with the season 3 premiere. 3. "Exodus (Part 2)," BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (SCIFI) Breathtaking. 4. "Casino Night," THE OFFICE (NBC) Amazing. Everyone was featured, hilarious episode... and Jim/Pam was icing on the cake. 5. "Spit & Eggs," VERONICA MARS (CW) After a so-so conclusion to season 2 and the beginning of season 3, the "fall finale" was going on all cylinders. 6. "Dennis & Dee Get a New Dad," IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA (FX) Sheer brilliance. Perfect season finale. Absolutely hilarious 7. "In the Time of Dying," SUPERNATURAL (CW) Emotional and exciting. 8. "Full Hearts," FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (NBC) One of the best of an excellent season so far. 9. "Fallout," HEROES (NBC) No holding back. An absolute, edge of your seat episode. 10. "Gay Witch Hunt," THE OFFICE (NBC) Hilariously uncomfortable.
