My list of the 30 best/most representative episodes is below.  Typically I think the best episodes are those that have meaningful moments for characters and also deliver some serious laughs.

Nate is my favorite new character from the past three seasons.  "Here is something I want to say that seems like it has something to do with what we're talking about, but in reality it does not, but I needed to say it anyways.  I will repeat this later."  That is somehow always funny to me.  And I love that he started…

What came to my mind was the BBC "series"  Sherlock, and how, as a television series, each "episode" plays out more like a self-contained movie with subtle ties to previous episodes.  A good example, in conjunction with the articles film examples, of how TV and cinema can and perhaps have come toward a middle ground…

aw man, we're cool

o i totally know that's where that riff comes from ("Ghost Rider") but the snare intro is all new to the M.I.A. song… and that's what we're talking about here, right?
