Someone will likely make a thread for this in the main forum at this point, but saw this tonight and thought some people here would be interested: The Ringer: The 100 Best TV Episodes of the Century
Lots of great episodes on here plus a few questionable choices, much like most solid lists.

It has a lot of fantastic choices! But the top 10 pilots mini-list is missing a lot of my favorites.
Not sure what to think of that list. The fact that any single episode of a reality show could make the top 100, let alone top 10, is crazy to me. I don't care how culturally relevant it was at the time, the first season finale of Survivor does not belong above Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias" or The Sopranos' "Pine Barrens." That is borderline insulting.
And I can even look past cultural milestones like Survivor being on there if it weren't for Real Housewives and Love & Hip-Hop also making it on the list.
... Punk'd is #30.
Some of the choices are interesting, given that only one episode of a series can make the list. Yes, "Once More With Feeling" is one of the best episodes of Buffy and I don't find much fault in it coming in at #25. But if you have to pick one episode, I would think you would go with one that has a good case of being in the top 10: "The Body."
I'd be more interested if they kept it 100 scripted television episodes. Too many great TV shows were left off.

Trying to make a list of the top 100 episodes is just stupid given how much television is made.
That said Lost, True Detective and Game of Thrones in the top four?
No, just no.

All listicles would improve if we did that but then everyone would lose traffic without people to come and comment about how everything is ranked wrong.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
I think if you edit out tony danza, you can have a pretty good show
Why does it take the Duffer Brothers 18 months to come up with 8 more episodes of reheated Stephen King leftovers?
Agreed. I mean, is there really any difference from being like 63 or say 57 on the list. It's basically meaningless.
The real find is that Adam Sandler directed a Price is Right episode.Okay, let's see this list...
Nope.
Take with a grain of salt, but I've heard that the guy who's suing them over stealing the idea has a pretty credible case, to the extent of the Duffers actually using some of his materials during their pitch meeting, and the Duffers have been floundering about since using up the season one ideas.

NBC bringing back Timeless for two-part series finale.

I look forward to the news in September that NBC has decided to extend the finale order into a full third season.
When we look back at TV shows that just wouldn't stay dead, this will be at the top of the list. This is truly remarkable.
Holy freaking crap. That's surprising, and awesome, news. Thanks for sharing!

The first time was extraordinary. This is just silly.
Also, yes I did steal the current title from the last time this happened and just threw on (again)
Well the CBS stuff with Redstone took a turn.

Unsurprising. They've demonstrated pretty clearly across two seasons that they are borderline incapable of original ideas that aren't just rip offs or pastiches (Especially of Stephen King and Stephen Spielberg).
Don't forget Unforgettable, it was cancelled like 3 times, but revived 2 times too.
Huh. Is there really that much more to do with it that isn't already accomplished by the movie?

I'd prefer it if he do something that wasn't time travel. But you know, I don't hate this concept. Also interesting to see HBO swooping both this and the new Whedon show, I guess they're doubling down on that sweet, sweet nerd money GoT gave them?
I forgot about that. Geez, TV can be so volatile sometimes.

How could you, the show is ... Unforgettable!
Thank you, thank you, I will be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waiter!
Lmao
I kinda want NBC to just keep cancelling and reviving the show as a yearly tradition.
Definitely a weird move for HBO. I liked the book though, so I hope this turns out well.
You'll take the extended wait and be happy. Or else the Duffer brothers will send someone after you.
