Just cause it’s on my mind…

This new Facebook thing that you can do where you choose your Top 5 in various categories got me thinking of my Top 5 Episodes of Television Ever. Unfortunately, you can’t really do that on Facebook, but, of course, I had to figure it out anyway. And now that I know, I want it in print. I had to separate between Drama and Comedy/Dramedy just because.

Top 5 Drama Series Episodes:

  1. Angel: “Not Fade Away” – Not only the greatest series finale of any TV show, ever, but my favorite episode of any TV show, ever.
  2. Lost: “The Constant”
  3. Friday Night Lights: “Mud Bowl”
  4. Mad Men: “The Wheel”
  5. Doctor Who: “Blink”

Honorable Mention (in no particular order): Alias: “Phase One”; The Wire: “Final Grades”; Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “Doppelgangland”; Veronica Mars: “Leave it to Beaver”; Firefly: “Out of Gas”; Deadwood: “A Constant Throb”; Battlestar Galactica: “Kobol's Last Gleaming: Part 2”

Top 5 Comedy/Dramedy Series Episodes:

  1. The Office (BBC): “Christmas Special”
  2. Pushing Daisies: “Comfort Food”
  3. Arrested Development: “Meat the Veals”
  4. Freaks & Geeks: “Disco & Dragons”
  5. 30 Rock: “Subway Hero”

Honorable Mention (in no particular order): Wonderfalls: “Karma Chameleon”; Chuck: “Chuck Versus the Cougars”; Sports Night: “What Kind of Day has it Been?”
