I don't mean of one particular show, I'm talking about the best episode of
any TV series? Not an easy thing to do. Just think of how many shows and how many episodes we've had in 60+ years. The new issue of
TV Guide is out, and while the full list of the 100 best episodes isn't online yet (
here are #'s 100-81), we do know
some episodes in the top ten (
TV Guide did a similar issue back in 1997).
The number one ep? "The Contest" from
Seinfeld. "Chuckles Bites The Dust" from
The Mary Tyler Moore Show and "Opie The Birdman" from
The Andy Griffith Show are up there too, as is the pilot episode of
Lost and the "College" episode of
The Sopranos. What's the first episode that comes to mind when you think of great TV?

As one of the few hits that's currently keeping HBO afloat,
Entourage is still only a modest success - it's
recent fifth season premiere hit a
three-year low. Despite the lackluster ratings,
HBO still gave the greenlight to a sixth season much earlier than expected... because, well, they don't have much else going on right now.
That being said, I'm a huge fan of the show and have been since it began. Yes, I'm one of the few that actually tuned in for the mostly ignored eight episode freshman season. I honestly don't see HBO pulling the plug without a true series finale at this stage in the series, but weirder things have happened and I want season six to roar back. So if you watch the show, great - glad to know you weren't part of that "three-year low" I mentioned. But if you used to watch
Entourage, or never have, then this will be good for ya - the only six episodes you need to watch to know just what the heck is going on in the world of Vincent Chase.
