Y’know, when it comes to sittin’ down and watchin’ TV, there’s a whole bunch of shows and episodes that folks talk about. Some of ‘em stick with ya, and some just slip right outta yer mind. Well, a big ol’ list came out about the 100 best TV episodes ever, and lemme tell ya, there’s some real gems in there that’ll make ya wanna drop everything and watch ’em right away.

Now, this list didn’t just pick any ol’ episode. Nah, Rolling Stone took its time to gather up the best of the best. They looked at one episode per show, no reality TV or news stuff, and no talk shows or sketch comedy neither. So, it’s all about them real TV shows, where you get a good storyline, great characters, and somethin’ that just sticks with ya. From big hits like ‘Friends’ and ‘The Sopranos’ to ‘Succession’ and ‘Game of Thrones,’ they picked out the episodes that had folks talkin’ long after the credits rolled.
One of the top picks on that list is from ‘What We Do in the Shadows.’ Now, this one right here, it ain’t just funny, it’s clever too. This show took a movie and turned it into a TV show, and let me tell ya, they did a real good job of it. The episode that stands out is a real laugh riot, where the vampires deal with the usual nonsense that you’d expect from creatures of the night. It’s all a mix of absurdity and wit, which is why it made the cut.
Then, there’s ‘The Simpsons.’ I mean, who hasn’t heard of that show? It’s been on forever, and there’s a reason it’s still around. The episode that got picked is one of those that sums up everything that’s good about the show—humor, heart, and a lil’ bit of chaos. It’s one of those that makes ya think, ‘Yep, that’s why I love this show.’
And let’s not forget about ‘Veep.’ Now, if you ain’t seen this one, you’re missin’ out. It’s sharp, it’s fast, and it’ll have ya laughin’ one minute and cringin’ the next. The episode they picked is full of quick wit, cutthroat politics, and the kinda stuff that makes you realize just how wild things can get in the world of power.
The list also touches on ‘Black-ish,’ which is a show that mixes humor with real-life issues. The episode that made the list is one where the family deals with some heavy stuff, but they do it in a way that’s both funny and meaningful. It’s the kind of show that gets ya thinkin’, but still makes ya smile.
Then, there’s the big ones—‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The Sopranos.’ These shows had some unforgettable moments, and the episodes that made the list were the ones that kept fans talkin’ for years. From the shocking twists to the intense drama, these episodes are what made these shows iconic in the first place.

Now, these episodes didn’t just get picked for bein’ good. Nah, they stand out because they’re not just part of a show, they’re what make that show great. Sometimes it’s about the big moments, sometimes it’s about the quiet ones that hit ya deep. But whatever it is, these episodes are the ones that everyone talks about when they think of TV at its best.
So, next time you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to watch, ya might wanna check out a few of these. You’ll get a taste of what makes TV so great, from laughs to tears and everything in between.
