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...

During the month of December, I will be looking back at the decade that was the 2010s on TV. I will be sharing my favorite sitcoms, dramas, the best episodes, the best performances and the worst shows of the decade. To be eligible for this list, a show had to air the majority of its episodes in the 2010s. However, for the rankings and determination, all episodes were taken into account, including ones that may have aired before 2010. I will also preface that there are comedies that have aired this decade that I haven't watched yet so this is the best of what I have watched. To be fair, that preface is more true for dramas. There's not a ton of unwatched comedies sitting in my Netflix or Amazon watchlist. So here are my Top 10 comedies of the 2010s! Close Calls:  Master of None (Netflix) - An inconsistent but occasionally fascinating commentary on many life issues done so with innovative storytelling. The Good Place (NBC) - A show that aims high with a fascinating premis...
