I went to the top, laughed at the top choice and stopped reading when Jersey Shore's first episode came in at number 14

So, your not feeling the situation..?

So, Tom Cruise jumping on a sofa on Oprah's show is the 17th best episode of TV since the year 2000?  Yeah, fuck that shit...

It did give us some of the greatest GIFs of all time.

Did they include "Crack Baby Athletic Association" of South Park? If they did then I will read the list.

They picked fun with weapons, which was just an okay episode for me. There have been way better South Park episodes since 2000.  I doubt fun with weapons would even crack my top 25.

Breaking Bad is the greatest TV show of all time, and Ozymandias is the best episode of the show. How that's not in the top 3 is beyond me. Somehow The OC and Survivor got rated higher. lol...

It should have been Scott Tenorman Must Die.

If they include an episode of The People vs. OJ Simpson, then it means miniseries are allowed. In which case, where is Band of Brothers?

Guessing they're viewing it as an anthology series, not a miniseries (S2 covered Gianni Versacci). BoB is a straight miniseries.

I listened to a few of them discuss on one of their podcasts. Their rationale was weird (they weren't trying to make an "easy" or "boring" list), and I'd give them the benefit of the doubt had they not been so damn pretentious about it.

Also wouldn't call it "click-baity." It's one continuous article and if nothing else, they put a lot of work into it.

So they put the article out so no one would click? Any "Top X List" by it's nature is click baity.

No one puts out an article hoping no one will read it. By that logic, everything is click bait.

WRONG.

I saw this the other day and can't remember the whole list, but I've seen the majority of the Top 10 and thought that was alright. I don't remember enough about Lost to know if #1 is a decent choice.

#45 and #44 were both my favorite episodes of R&M and The Leftovers so I liked those choices, but they'd both be in my Top 20 personally.

"Click bait" refers to articles that require you to click from one page to the next to get through the article. They exist solely to get someone to click through them and provide little to no insight or worthwhile commentary. Agree or disagree with the list but they didn't just through something out for the sole purpose of driving ad revenue via multiple clicks.

I assume Survivor is pretty high because it basically started that genre of show that now dominates the TV. 

There are a number of shows in there I have never heard of. I watch very little TV but I did find that strange.

So many great SP episodes to pick from.  My favorites off the top of my head:

  • Fishsticks
  • Imaginationland
  • Make Love not Warcraft
  • Scott Tenorman Must Die
  • Creme Fraiche

I guess you are a Mischa Barton fan? ... or maybe Adam Brody?  nttawwt

Close! Just an HBO fan. I got 2 shows ahead of Breaking Bad on my list, and we both know what they are, but I don't think Breaking Bad necessarily challenges either seriously for a Top 2 spot. IMNSHO.

Game of Thrones is the obvious one, and I won't fault anyone for that, but what's #2? Sex and the City? I guess that would make sense if you love the OC.

The Sopranos and The Wire. GoT fell off my Top 5 after this last fan ball-fondling (fan service) season.
