Image
 Community is a TV series that ran for 110 episodes over 6 seasons.  After its initial run, it developed a cult following over the internet. Let's explore some of the best episodes and funniest moments. Fistfull of Paintballs (Season 2) The first of the two-part Season 2 finale. It's a nod to the famed Spaghetti Western films, but with a paintball twist. The group is split: Jeff, Annie, and Abed meet up, and then they run into Troy, Shirley, and Britta, who are hunting the trio for Pierce. They go to Fort Hawthorne, Pierce's safe haven, and have dinner. After a run-in with "The Black Rider," their mysterious and dangerous opponent, they return to Pierce and vote him out of the group. A shocking twist reveals that rival City College planned  it all and wants to take over Greendale. One reviewer said us: "The episode had so many moments you want to watch over again and again. Annie really comes to life in this special episode." For a Few Paintballs Mor...

No income tax, no VAT · No money back, no guarantee  Only Fools and Horses is a British television sitcom created and written by John Sullivan. The last episode was broadcast in 2003.  World Super News (wsnews1.blogspot.com) Let's explore the best of them. To Hull and Back This legendary episode from 1985 sees Boycie and his business buddy convince Del Boy to visit The Netherlands to smuggle diamonds. It's also an episode where Uncle Albert gets on a boat and doesn't sink. My own opinion is that this is the best episode of the lot. There is a fantastic story behind the key comedic elements here." Heroes and Villains The Trotter brothers dress up as Batman and Robin to attend the fancy dress party of Harry Malcolm. However, people forgot to mention that Harry died the day before and the party is now a wake.  Sleepy Man on YouTube said: "The background theme tune to batman combined with the expression of utter bewilderment on Councillor Murray’s face makes for o...

Are you ready to head back to the year 3000? It has been confirmed that Hulu will be reviving Futurama for an eighth season that will contain 20 brand-new episodes. The reboot is stated to premiere sometime in 2023. The Sting This was certainly one of the most surreal episodes. The episode tells a compelling story, while still balancing the series unique sense of humour. One fan commented on an online review of the article: "After I watched this, I thought it was above average but didn't think much of it, then I realized on my second watch how great this is. I wish I acknowledged how emotional and great this episode is." The Day the Earth Stood Stupid This is where we start to learn that Nibbler is very clever and the mastermind that occasionally recruits members of the Planet Express crew to ensure the safety of the universe. Jurassic Bark This one leaves us all an emotional wreck. Many experts say that it is the saddest episode of the series. It provides a great but...

TV: Best of The Simpsons

Image
 There has been over 700 episodes of The Simpsons and there is often some quite heated debate about the best episodes.  Let's have a look at some of the best episodes and other iconic moments. Homer At the Bat An episode with one of the greatest songs from any Simpsons episode and probably the best sporting themed episode. "Well, Mr. Burns had done it, The Power Plant had won it, With Roger Clemens clucking all the while, Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile, While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile..." You Only Move Twice One of many episodes where a significant change to the family dynamic is introduced before everything returns to normal. Homer moves the family after he’s offered a new job at a company, run by the not-so-secret super-villain Hank Scorpio. Many people on Twitter and other social media outlets have argued that this is the best ever episode. It's a pity we've not heard much of Hank Scorpio since. It was reported that h...
