Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Anubis (2023)
very enjoyable finale from a mostly solid season
While "Anubis" is bittersweet for ending this new season (the shortest one yet), it really is a solid episode to cap off the five, and most likely gonna become my favorite from the season.
In addition to some other celebrity cameos, the episode brings in Succession actor Brian Cox for a hilarious guest role as Anubis. I never would've expected this actor to appear in an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but he's an oddly good match for the show, and helps to create perhaps the best new character from the season.
This had a lot of what I was missing from some of my lesser enjoyed season 12 episodes. With a decent scenario to produce funny interactions from the gang, the episode takes off pretty quick.
Overall, this was a really enjoyable finale from a mostly solid season of ATHF. Just hoping Adult Swim orders another, preferably with more episodes this time.
A Parks and Recreation Special (2020)

Malcolm in the Middle: Burning Man (2005)
Refreshing and funny
After some real big season 6 stinkers (Motivational Speaker, Stilts, Ida's Dance) this episode is a refreshing start to the show's final season.
This one ended up being a surprise considering its bizarre premise and the somewhat poor sixth season, so I'm happy. It was actually funny, too!
Better Call Saul: Fall (2017)
Pure Saul
After a few brief weeks of paying fan service to the die-hard BB fans, and seemingly opting for a 40-50% Jimmy-oriented show instead of a Jimmy-centered show with supporting characters sprinkled in, 'Fall' has come back to show us a darkly comedic, character-driven episode that oozes with signs of what is destined to come next.
The episode handles the roles of its supporting characters very carefully, giving valuable and significant insight into the lives and minds of Saul originals like Nacho, Kim, Howard, and the ever-so complex Chuck, without ever overshadowing Jimmy's story. Characters who previously lacked a clear motive now seem more believable, harsh, and human.
And to top it all off is probably the most 'Saul' thing Jimmy has ever done: hijack an innocent elderly woman's social life and happiness for his own financial gain, and, if I may add, without any visible remorse.
The only downside of this episode is the meeting between Lydia and Mike. While sometimes it is fun to see old BB characters interact, at such a pivotal point in Jimmy's transformation, it only drags down the pacing of the real story here.
Overall, 'Fall' is an episode that truly proves that Saul Goodman is inside Jimmy, and he's slowly taking over. Meanwhile, Nachos relationship with his father, Howard's self-interests, Kim's work life, and Chuck's unrelenting need for revenge showcases why Vince Gilligan is still the king of character-driven television.
