- DirectorBob AndersonStarsDan CastellanetaJulie KavnerNancy CartwrightSibling rivalry between Bart and Lisa ensues when they become the star players of their respective ice hockey teams.Season 6: Episode 8 - The Simpsons was my favorite TV show when I was a kid. And "Lisa on Ice" has been my favorite episode of anything since I was a kid. "The Simpsons" always did two great things in those early seasons. The show was funny and it put family first. This episode is not only full of clever jokes, but it's incredibly heartfelt. The ending is both endearing and hilarious. It made me want to call my younger sister if I had a younger sister. The "Kill Bart" double entendre was so brilliant. If you ever need a pick me up, watch this episode.
- DirectorDean HollandStarsAmy PoehlerRashida JonesAziz AnsariOn the day before the Harvest Festival, a local Native American leader places a "curse" on the event because Leslie refuses to give in to his demands.Season 3: Episode 7 - The "Awesome Sauce" episode and the first appearance of Li'l Sebastian! Need I say more?
- DirectorWilliam AsherStarsLucille BallDesi ArnazVivian VanceAfter Ricky and Fred get upset about the girls' spending, Lucy and Ethel go to work in a candy factory while the boys do the housework.Season 2: Episode 1 - The one with the chocolate candy on the conveyor belt. Lucy and Ethel switch gender roles and work with Ricky and Fred and a Comedy Classic Episode is born! One of the best half hours on TV ever!
- 2015–201942mTV-148.6 (440)TV EpisodeDirectorMichael Patrick JannStarsRachel BloomVincent Rodriguez IIISantino FontanaRebecca and Josh head to Los Angeles to present their case, which also forces them to confront their long buried feelings.Season 1 - Episode 13 - There's a few episodes of" Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" that are good and the others are brilliant! The first 2 episodes will hook you! This one will blow you away! It's non-stop comedy and the "Chinatown" bit was incredible improv! The JAP Battle Rap was one of the best songs yet!
- DirectorJohn LeeStarsAbbi JacobsonIlana GlazerJohn GemberlingThe girls need to grow up! Abbi wants to buy her OWN weed, like a grown woman, while Ilana is finally tackling taxes by herself. Also, the girls are super, super-duper stoned.Season 1: Episode 2 - The pilot of "Broad City" was funny, interesting and new, but it didn't grasp you yet. Episode 2 does everything right and totally nails the tone and direction of what "Broad City" would become. Ilana shows Abbi how she keeps weed in her pu$$y and a crazy New York adventure ensues. It's also the first time we meet Lincoln (Hannibal Buress) and he's lovable and hilarious. This episode was super funny, super unique, and we learn that "Bed, Bath, and Beyond Coupons Never Expire!"
- DirectorRandall EinhornStarsSteve CarellRainn WilsonJohn KrasinskiMichael tries to create a place to escape from work in the storage room that used to house the Michael Scott Paper Company, while Jim and Pam consider taking off and getting married that day.Season 5: Episode 25 - Season 5 is when "The Office" got bumpy, but this episode stars off slow and gets to non-stop fun! You feel so bad for Michael until he gets one chance to prove he can throw a dance party! Jim and Pam want to get married, but then prove to themselves that they can't do it without the their fellow employees and friends.
- DirectorJordan ImiolaStarsDavid PinionStephen CareyBiz LyonCoach Flynn becomes the first female football coach at Millard Fillmore Middle School. The football team makes her life a living Hell. Miss Hewitt teachers drunk. Mr. Garret deals with his divorce. Principal Ward calls dibs on his ex-wife.Season 1: Episode 1 - Take the tone and style of "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation" and make it about teachers. NBC really needs to pick up this show before someone else does."Get Educated" exemplifies the true and funny relationships between students and teachers. I mean how could you not love how Samantha helped out Coach Flynn? I may have some favoritism towards this show, but I love this pilot. Middle school is so funny.
- DirectorBud YorkinStarsRedd FoxxDemond WilsonLeonard StoneFred and Lamont buy a load of copper from a man who has been stealing it from people in the neighborhood.Season 1: Episode 6 - "Sanford and Son" had a formula for jokes that just can't be topped or done the same way today. If you were a teenage boy who watched TV Land last decade, you probably stumbled and loved this show. "Sanford and Son" was indecent, edgy, and always hilarious! It was the #1 most popular comedy for years and it was on Friday nights! Shows don't survive Friday Nights Anymore! Almost every episode has some greatness, but the twist in this episode was the best twist of 1972.
- 2005– 22mTV-MA9.0 (3.3K)TV EpisodeDirectorRichie KeenStarsCharlie DayGlenn HowertonRob McElhenneyWhen Frank accidentally hits Dennis's car while Dennis is eating cereal, Frank and Dennis go to the Paddy's Pub court to face off on who will pay for the damages.Season 8: Episode 10 - This episode started off so simple and then went to Crazytown! And it's the best ride to Crazytwon ever! The gang goes from fighting about cereal and a car crash to debating creationism vs. evolution! It's all character driven and its So *beep* Funny! Best Season Finale they've had yet!
- DirectorSteve BuscemiStarsTina FeyTracy MorganJane KrakowskiWhile everyone tries to get into the spirit of Leap Day, Liz and Jenna fight over an Internet billionaire, Jack has a major financial setback, and Tracy tries to spend a Benihana gift card before it expires.Season 6: Episode 9 - This episode was genious! "30 Rock" took a Holiday that nobody really celebrated (unless it's your birthday) and made it a day of monumental celebration and non-stop jokes. And the story of Leap Day William was enthralling (trading in children's tears for candy). Jim Carey also guest starred as Leap David Williams.
- DirectorJake JohnsonStarsZooey DeschanelJake JohnsonMax GreenfieldSchmidt helps Nick ponder his future after Nick's cousin and his wife visit to ask for a very special handout. Meanwhile, Winston helps Cece shop for a wedding dress.Season 5: Episode 5 - This episode proved that "New Girl" really doesn't need Jess. Zoey was on fertility leave and it's the last episode before Megan Fox joined the cast. This almost looked like a ripoff of the Friends episode (when Phoebe's brother asks to have his baby) but then this episode turned into a totally new and hilarious direction. And everything about Nick's cousins was comedically wonderful! Winston and Cece's storyline was also hysterical. Just a really funny episode of "New Girl" and every cast member was on top of their game. I still love Zooey Deschanel, but I credit the writers and actors for a ton of a laughs.
- DirectorGail MancusoStarsJenna ElfmanThomas GibsonShae D'lynWhen Greg decides they need a car for Dharma, she comes home with a school bus that's seen better days.Season 1: Episode 14- Before Chuck Lorre had "The Big Bang Theory," Two and a Half Men," "Mike & Molly," etc. he had "Dharma & Greg" and it was the best relationship you ever saw using the law of comic opposites. A couple gets married the same day they meet and hope it works out. The first season was astounding and had some major laughs and "Old Yellar" showcases Chuck Lorre's talent and uniqueness of Dharma.
- DirectorVictor Nelli Jr.StarsWendi McLendon-CoveySean GiambroneTroy GentileAs Adam abandons Pops to go trick-or-treating with a cool new friend, Beverly dons a costume so she can keep Barry from being embarrassed at a Halloween party.Season 1: Episode 6 - The ultimate mom and son Episode. Bev and Barry shine in this one. And "The Goldbergs" didn't need to copy the beats of an 80's movie like they do in later seasons. This episode was relative to everyone who's had a caring mom and just genuinely funny.
- DirectorJohn TracyStarsAlan ThickeJoanna KernsKirk CameronBen shoots a movie in his backyard for school but the film subject has Maggie worried.Season 5: Episode 25 - I know, "Growing Pains," really? You already mentioned "Dharma & Greg," now this?" But this episode was spectacular! It was a Ben episode and it was mostly about teenage puberty and lust and it was amazing. Ben makes a short student movie and it's a masterpiece of ridiculousness.
- 2015–201924mTV-147.4 (1.8K)TV EpisodeDirectorTristram ShapeeroStarsEllie KemperTituss BurgessCarol KaneImprisoned by a cult leader as a teenager, Midwesterner Kimmy is freed after 15 years. The first thing she decides to do is move to New York.Season 1: Episode 1 - This had a lot of promise. Honestly, I thought the show dumbed down as it went on and I just honestly didn't laugh at the jokes. They felt forced. The pilot is nothing like that. It feels and smells like Tina Fey. And it's amazing!
