We don't have to say it out loud like a couple of gays getting married in jean shorts in Provincetown, while I'm just trying to enjoy an ice cream on the pier." —Colleen, Season 6, Episode 17 "If you're ordering me an edible arrangement to say thanks, I'd prefer a meat one."

There are exceptions for under-performing but much-loved shows like NBC's Chuck (which had a 13-season episode first season, then longer second, third, and fourth seasons, and have a 13-episode order for next season) of course, but they're the exception rather than the norm.

And to show you we're serious… you have 12 hours."—The Twisted World of Marge Simpson (Season 8, Episode 11), giving Marge a mob ultimatum.[he's legendarily great throughout this episode] "Arr, I don't know what I'm doin'."—Boy-Scouts N the Hood (Season 5, Episode 8), after a boat he's trying to sell to Homer sinks.[for a man whose name is an occupation, the Sea Captain has held many jobs over the years] "Hey Salvatore!

The show capped off an up and down third season on Thursday with a fabulous episode aptly titled "Introduction to Finality." The whole episode felt like the writers knew everything was going to change at the end of this season.

Weiner has described the mandate as an "opportunity." Still, it's unclear whether or not Sunday's episode will be a season-finale like outing, or resemble a mid-season episode like any other.  All we know is that starting next week we have to say goodbye for Mad Men for another year before the characters' last stories are actually told.

More than any season in a while (arguably more than any season, period) there has been an overwhelming sense of momentum from episode to episode.

Lemon, I've held Walt Disney's frozen head in my hands." —Jack, Season 3, Episode 16 "Lizzing is a combination of laughing and whizzing." —Liz, Season 3, Episode 16 "Yes, the rest of us talked about it last night at Finnegan's, the bar we go to after work.

After some first-season misfires in addressing adult regret (the episode "Acafellas") and an overtly soapy foray into teen pregnancy ("Preggers"), "Wheels," the ninth episode in the premiere season, marked a turning point for the show.

The guy who is suing Apple for pretending this was Episode 5 of Season 6 instead of Episode 13 of Season 5 is correct.

Season seven is an abomination except for the Anya episode and the one with the enchanted letterman’s jacket. —JR ERCorrect Ranking of Seasons: 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 12, 10, 11, 7, 14 Those first three are largely equal, but Maria Bello and "Exodus," the show's definitive episode, kinda seal it for me, plus Hathaway and Ross are tight in that season.

Premium cable networks like Starz, HBO, AMC and Showtime have shorter seasons, mirroring the British predilection for 10 to 12-episode season orders, but those numbers are standard from season to season, rather than shifting to accommodate the story the characters are addressing in any given season.

But if those episode titles served as the literal Rosetta stone for that season, the episode titles of Breaking Bad's fifth season serve a more symbolic purpose.

But like you Sophie, I feel as though the show has declined episode by episode since the start of the season—to quote my favorite under-the-radar joke from There’s Something About Mary, “Each day’s better than the next”—and tonight was the episode in which, for me at least, it really went over the edge.

Whiling away the hours before another grim episode of Smash last night, we went against our better judgment and watched a two-hour episode of The Voice, the first live episode of the NBC singing competition's second season.

Episode after episode, or season after season, in True Blood's case.

And be honest."  Season 4, Episode 9, The Beautiful Girls: The relationship between Joan and Roger, which at first seems like a typical secretary-boss mistress-ship, is oddly tender and forever star-crossed.

After having said farewell to Breaking Bad last year, the network is on the brink of losing Mad Men, and both Halt and Catch Fire and Turn have received lukewarm response across the board.  So the network is throwing some amount of faith behind Better Call Saul, which will have a 10 episode first season and a 13 episode second season.

The character of Venetia—Winston Churchill’s secretary, who was hit by a bus during the Great Smog of 1952 in the Season-1 episode “Act of God”—was invented, and long-swirling rumors about Prince Philip’s infidelity to the Queen have never been confirmed.

Season 6, Episode 10, Favors: Sally idealizes her (frankly lousy) father, but that relationship is shattered when he walks in on him having sex with his neighbor Sylvia Rosen.  Season 6, Episode 12, The Quality of Mercy: Sally tries out boarding school and encounters some mean girls who want booze and cigarettes.

Tonight's season finale of RuPaul's Drag Race will crown a champion from among its top three contestants — hilariously cutting Bianca del Rio, compellingly ragged Adore Delano, and beautiful void Courtney Act — but the finale episode is near-guaranteed to be the worst episode of the season.

I'm full of chocolate!"—Lisa on Ice (Season 6, Episode 8), being chased by Homer the towel-snapper in the gym[Uter might not have another great line, but he's got this one] "That is so gay!"—Lisa's Date With Destiny (Season 8, Episode 7), upon witnessing Nelson kiss a girl.[probably the funniest of the bully trio] "I need the biggest seed bell you have.

As with last season's episode dealing with the Richard Speck murders in Chicago and the third season's episode on the JFK assassination, the horrifying news was the catalyst for more individual plot lines, spotlighting the concerns and emotions of each character in the moment. They are all at least briefly broken by the violent death of the civil rights leader who preached nonviolence.

Well I'm not afraid to tell you, you're a- [BLEEP]"—I Love Lisa (Season 4, Episode 15), drunk on "wowie juice" in a never-before-seen Krusty the Clown clip[Sideshow Mel is very funny but just because he's so serious] "There goes the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality."—Treehouse of Horror III (Season 4, Episode 5), spoken as Homer runs by naked.[it would only take her twelve more years to address this publicly!] "Then call me Mrs.

Bravado and pratfalls Andy is the best Andy.  "Pawnee Rangers" (Season 4) This is the "treat yo self" episode, and the "treat yo self" episode is perfect Donna.  "Sweet Sixteen" (Season 4) Of course Jerry gets left behind for his own birthday party.

Here's a look at the most compelling musical anachronisms in the series so far and how the show used them to emphasize important moments: "The Great Divide" by the Cardigans Season 1, Episode 2: "Ladies Room" The first time a musical anachronism disrupts the show's historically accurate rhythm comes at the end of the second episode in the first season.

Not as much sense as individual episodes, which gave us the freedom to look at shows that were maybe more uneven but managed to pull it together for one giant swing for the fences.  We limited ourselves to one episode (or two-part episode) per series, because sometimes it's more fun when there are more rules.  30 Rock, “Hogcock!”/”Last Lunch"Season 7, Episode 7.

We've reached out to both Fox and Tinder for more on the relationship.) Blessedly, the episode, wasn't exactly, a "Tinder episode." In fact, it was a good episode of the show, which seems to have become more sure of its characters over the course of the season.

Tasked with picking but one episode from American Horror Story’s perfect (yes, perfect) second season, it took all I had not to choose “The Name Game.” But while that episode included the season’s best singular moment, “Madness Ends” represents the show sticking its landing, and for a show that consistently went to the crazy places this one did, that’s no small achievement.

It graphically portrays parts of the human body, which, practical as they may be, are evil!"—Itchy and Scratchy and Marge (Season 2, Episode 9), discussing Michaelangelo's David.[Helen's hysterical delivery is crucial to everything she does, such as the much-quoted line linked above] "Bake 'em away, toys!"—Cape Feare (Season 5, Episode 2), overriding Bart's order of "take 'em away, boys!"[perfect in its simplicity] "Mrs.

Last night brought us the finale of Girls, an episode with the unusually rom-com-y title, "Together." (That's a far pace from the name of last week's controversial episode, "On All Fours.") It's been an interesting ride this season, full of discomfort and displeasure, cringing and awkwardness for characters and viewers alike, and this 30-minute season ender was no exception, despite the one-half of a Rick Astley song title.

Think about it: It's the final season of the show (compared to—spoiler alert—Josh Charles' final season on the show), his submitted episode sees him taking the reins away from Walt (and that's a tough task when facing Bryan Cranston), and none of the other performances here hit the same range of lethargy and ferocity he taps into in a single episode.

"[Critics] aren’t losing sleep over answering the questions that some other critic believes are the 'right' ones, or nudging TV coverage into line with the supposed grand traditions of older art forms." Not to mention, the fact that these days television analysis happens episode to episode, rather than season to season.  And finally, the problem remains, that television is inherently a more personal medium that film.

We didn't all go to Gudger College."—A Milhouse Divided (Season 8, Episode 6), failing to guess Kirk's "dignity" clue.[Gudger College is fictional, but that name is perfect] "Everything's coming up Milhouse!"—Mom and Pop Art (Season 10, Episode 9), when his flood pants keep his cuffs "bone-dry."[sometimes it's best to go with the greatest hits] "He's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog.

She lies on the floor and watches a news report on the self-immolation of Quảng Đức.  Season 4, Episode 5, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Better remembered as the episode in which Sally masturbates to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Sally begins the episode inquiring about Don's date and then proceeds to give herself a haircut and ask the babysitter about sex.
