Continuing my Decade in Review, here are my Top 20 episodes of the decade. I limited it to one episode per show or some shows would dominate this list. You might see similarities to my year in review posts in the past but also some differences with the added benefit of hindsight. For example, I loved the pilot of  The Following  when I watched it and it placed very high on my 2013 list, but after seeing what happened to the series, the pilot didn't look as good as it once did. I'll also give the caveat that there are great episodes I haven't seen yet from the 2010s but I'm sure I will someday! 20. THE GOLDBERGS #37 "Barry Goldberg's Day Off" (ABC, 2/26/15) A purely fun episode, this is the best of the many movie send-ups  The Goldbergs  has done in its seven seasons. The show includes a couple shot-for-shot moments from the iconic movie  Ferris Bueller's Day Off  complete with a Charlie Sheen cameo. I don't always enjoy Barry themed episodes b...

Here is my countdown of my favorite dramas of the 2010s. Just like comedies, my criteria is that they had to air a majority of their episodes in the 2010s but the entire series is considered when it comes to ranking. Also, a major disclaimer - there are several dramas I haven't watched yet but want to. Shows like Boardwalk Empire, The Man in the High Castle, Justified  and especially Breaking Bad are still on my "to watch" list so this is a list of the dramas I have watched all or some of. Close Calls 9-1-1 (FOX) - It's a Ryan Murphy show so I'm waiting for the shoe to drop and it turns into a hot mess, but it's been pretty thrilling through its first couple seasons. Timeless (NBC) - I know this was a pretty silly show, but I'm a sucker for time travel premises and the journeys to so many times in history was just plain fun. Chicago Med (NBC) - My second favorite Chicago show (see below). I've stayed with this medical drama longer than any other...
