From Route 666 to The Apocalypse: Ranking the episodes of Supernatural, Episodes 84-74
Throughout its six years on the air, Supernatural has had a substantial amount of good-to-great episodes, which made this list difficult to compile. However, like any long-running series, Supernatural has aired its fair share of missteps, problem children and downright horrible episodes. These things happen. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’ll be discussing all the series’…

From Route 666 to The Apocalypse: Ranking the episodes of Supernatural, Introductions and Episodes 126-117
With summer upon us, I’ve been working on all sorts of summer-y features. I’m doing the classic series re-watch posts and hashing out various Emmy-related things to go live soon. But the summer wouldn’t be complete without a ranked list of an entire series’ episode catalog. Last summer, I took on both The Office and…

2010-2011 season wrap: Ranking the episodes of Glee’s second season
The other day, I mentioned that ranking the episodes of Community‘s second season was one of the most difficult lists I had ever done. Doing a similar list of Glee’s second season was, well, less difficult. I wrote about Glee a lot this season and realized that I would really just be repeating myself if…

2010-2011 season wrap: Ranking the episodes of Community’s second season
The 2010-2011 television series officially ended last week. Obviously, there will be a lot of great television coming in the summer months ahead and it is sort of silly to stick to the ancient constructs of the broadcast television season (which ran from September 20, 2010 to May 25, 2011 this season), but I’ve never…

Waiting for Superman: Week five part two: Ranking the episodes of Smallville (again)
With only five more weeks of Smallville, there are mixed emotions in the TVS headquarters. To work out those conflicting feelings, I’ll be writing a pre-episode piece every week from here on out until the final episode on May 13. You can the first five pieces here, here, here, here and here if you missed them. And now we come…

Waiting for Superman, week five part one: Ranking the seasons of Smallville
With only five more weeks of Smallville, there are mixed emotions in the TVS headquarters. To work out those conflicting feelings, I’ll be writing a pre-episode piece every week from here on out until the final episode on May 13. You can the first four pieces here, here, here and here if you missed them. This week, I decided…

The TVS List: Three broadcast series that need to be canceled
Note: I’m hopefully going to have more time to write things here over the next few months, so I’ll be trying to bring back the weekly list feature. Trying. Anyway, here’s the beginning of that attempt. It’s spring, which means it is the time of year that everyone takes to the internet to stump for…

22 years of Coco: Conan’s Best Moments
Image courtesy of The New York Times Ed note: This was originally written for the Indiana Daily Student’s WEEKEND. Conan O’Brien has defined the odds time and time again. I mean look at his ridiculous haircut and pale skin: How does someone like that succeed in Hollywood? In Conan’s case, a boat-load of talent, that…

Sometimes origin stories take 10 years — Ranking the episodes of Smallville, Episodes 25-1
After the positive response to my ranked list of Lost and Office episodes, I just had to do another. Heck, even if there wasn’t a positive response for those two features, I probably would have done another one anyway because I love lists. I’ve been thinking about what series to tackle for nearly a month…
