Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite TV episodes into the ol’ VCR.
As a writer, I always like to give screenwriters their flowers.
This may or may not be obvious, but writing isn’t always the easiest thing in the world.
Between writer’s block, stakeholders/editors, and the immense pressure writers put on themselves, writing is both a blessing and a curse.
That’s why, today, I want to share 10 of my favorite TV episodes of all time, some of which I would argue are genuinely the best episodes of all time.
I already know I’m gonna probably catch some flak for one of these, so let’s go ahead and start with disclaimers.
I need you to hear me out on the season one finale of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
Firstly, I maintain that the first season of the show is criminally underrated.
Secondly, you can’t watch the last half of this episode (particularly the last few minutes) and tell me that the writing isn’t solid.
I know the second season isn’t anywhere as good as the first (it suffers from the same problem as Not Dead Yet), but the first season is genuinely good (albeit a little cringy here and there).
I also want to acknowledge that there have been accusations against Aziz Ansari, and I want to make it very clear that I don’t condone any of his alleged behavior.
Speaking of, I also don’t condone any of Joss Whedon’s behavior.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite television episodes of all time:
- “Fishes” – The Bear
- “White Bear” – Black Mirror
- “Season 2, Episode 6” – Fleabag
- “Thanksgiving” – Master of None
- “Free Churro” – BoJack Horseman
- “Hush” – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- “Long, Long Time” – The Last of Us
- “Sandy Passage” – Documentary Now!
- “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” – The X-Files
- “Zoey’s Extraordinary Dad” – Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist
