The Best, Worst and Most Unforgettable TV Moments of 2018

It's crazy to think that in 2018, television got even bigger than it was in 2017. And this was a year without massive hits like Stranger Things and Game of Thrones. But here we are in another December, remembering awesome stuff that happened back in the spring that seemed like it happened five years ago because there are a bajillion shows on at all times.

More television is always a good thing, but that doesn't mean 2018 didn't bring some horrible TV moments, and try as we might, they were impossible to forget. Below, we take a quick look at the best, worst and most unforgettable television of 2018.

The 25 Best Shows of 2018

Not gonna lie, trimming the insane amount of television that came out this year to just our 25 favorites was a brutal process, and more than one table got flipped in the TV Guide offices while making the final cuts. But we eventually settled on this list, chosen by the entire editorial staff using a voting system way too complicated to explain here, and it's a perfect example of how diverse television has become.

Best Fandom

We're letting you, the fans, decide this important category for us.

We've identified 14 TV fandoms, including Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash, Riverdale, Power, Supernatural, Legacies, Lucifer, The 100, Shadowhunters, Outlander, Doctor Who, Timeless and Wynonna Earp in this Twitter thread:

All you have to do is vote for your favorite hive by retweeting and liking the corresponding show's tweet. Easy, right? You got this. May the best fandom win!

Best Relationship

Couples from Grey's Anatomy, Shadowhunters, Vikings and more of your favorite shows made the list. Find out how we ranked TV's best romances in the video below.

Best (and Therefore Also Worst) Villain

Mr. Chuckle Teeth, The X-Files

If you've ever watched any kids' television shows, you know that they're full of messed-up sh--. In "Familiar," The X-Files went back to the classic monster-of-the-week format with Mr. Chuckle Teeth, a toy based on a character from a children's series who comes to life and murders people. It's actually a demon, but even if it wasn't, we still would have peed our pants.

RELATED: 10 Worst Bad Guys of 2018

Most Depressing Reality Show Moment

RuPaul's Drag Race

It's always a war to win RuPaul's Drag Race, as contestants attempt to out-fab each other at any cost, and all wars have casualties. Asia O'Hara had a splendid idea for the finale to let loose some butterflies from her outfit; that'll show 'em! But the flying caterpillars -- which had to be put in a deep freeze to be imported to her -- never thawed out, and as Asia set up for the finale, they tumbled lifelessly to the ground. Contestants on the show hope for a crown from Fierce Drag Jewels, not letters from PETA.

Worst Reality Moment We're Glad We Weren't Around For

The Real Housewives of New York

The ladies of RHONY vacationed to Colombia this year, and it was a literal sh--show. The water, the food, a pool boy, we're not totally sure, but something gave the gals the runs, and thank god they were south of the equator and far from us, because they left... ummm, "traces" of their ailments all over their hotel room. On the floor. In the bed. Places that weren't toilets. Gross.

The 25 Best Performances of 2018

TV would be pretty boring if it didn't have any actors in it, so let's give it up for the ones who were the best , OK?

Best Drama (Off-Screen)

The Affair

Ruth Wilson played a major character on Showtime's scandalous series. Emphasis on played. Despite being one of the two leads, her character was surprisingly killed off in The Affair's fourth season, and we still don't know why. DUN DUN. Wilson said she's not allowed to talk about why she was leaving the show, which is a legal workaround of an NDA, and the bigger story of what actually happened may never be revealed. It's the best cliffhanger of the year, and one that likely won't be resolved by the time the next season airs.

Runner-up: Whatever happened between Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans Jr. on Lethal Weapon.

Worst Product Placement

This Is Us

People were going to be pissed off over Jack Pearson's death no matter what, so NBC's drama decided to give viewers a physical target for their anger in the way of a faulty Crock-Pot that set Jack's house on fire. It was This Is Us' way of deflecting, by saying, "Hey, don't blame us, blame this evil Crock-Pot!" The company was forced into face-saving PR, and the show itself came to the slow-cooker's defense, but it was too late. Crock-Pots were hurled out of windows in fear, and the Instant Pot took over. You have blood on your hands, This Is Us.

Best Fake Name for a Fake, Awful Person

Zack Pizazz, The Good Place

The start of The Good Place's third season was all about getting the gang back together on Earth, and the persona Michael's (Ted Danson) used to lure Jason (Manny Jacinto) to Australia was so bad it was good. Zack Pizazz was a sleazy talent scout, and Michael looked the part: gray floppy hair, sunglasses at night, popped collar on a leather jacket. It was hideous, and of course, it worked.

Best Shoulder Acting

Bill Skarsgård, Castle Rock

As Castle Rock's "The Kid," a mysterious interdimensional being who might be the Devil, Bill Skarsgård made the artist's choice to give his character a physical trademark: acute shoulder asymmetry. It's never explained or even talked about; not once does someone ask if he's miming a DJ with one ear on his headphones about to mix in his next sick track. And in the season's ninth episode, which visits a normal version of his character in the alternate universe, his shoulders are square as a level, meaning the disfigurement is there for a reason. Actors will often add physical tics to their characters, but most don't have to spend all the scratch they earned for the role on a chiropractor afterward. His sacrifice is our gain; it's the ultimate bar for shoulder acting on TV.

The 25 Best Episodes of 2018

Even the best shows take an episode off here and there, and conversely, some of the not-so-best shows surprise us with hours we never saw coming. This is the list of 25 best episodes of television we saw all year.

Best News We Heard All Year

NBC saves Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Dan Goor's zany cop comedy was the saddest casualty of Fox's shift away from good things single-camera comedies as it prepared to be absorbed by Disney, but NBC was all, "Thank you!" and snatched Brooklyn Nine-Nine right up. We're expecting the transition to be seamless as it changes networks for more of the same action we love, and we can't wait to take it all in. (Name of your sex tape.)

Worst Time to Be a Prisoner on TV

Marvel's Daredevil, 'Blindsided'

The single most complicated scene to shoot in 2018 started several minutes before the halfway mark of the fourth episode of Marvel's Daredevil's third season, and ended with about a third of the episode left. It's a monster one-take shot set during a prison riot that's nearly 11 minutes long. Firebombs fly, smoke grenades go off and, of course, Matt Murdoch is in the middle of it all, punching people in the face. But for the whole thing, it's Daredevil, us and a camera operator trudging through chaos. It's so long, it doesn't even fit into one YouTube clip.

Biggest HOLY F--- Moment of the Year

That surprise return, Jane the Virgin

Nothing should be off-limits given Jane the Virgin's telenovela roots, but no one expected the final moments of the Season 4 finale. Jane's ex, Michael, who died at the start of Season 3, was actually alive and right in front of Jane. That's all we know. Whether that really is Michael (Brett Dier) and where he's been all this time are still mysteries, as the season ended on that shocker. We've been letting out one constant scream since.

Best Use of an Intestinal Parasite

Lodge 49

For a weird moment to stand out in a weird show like AMC's Lodge 49 as the show's weirdest moment, it better be pretty damned weird. The setup here is crucial: We thought Blaise (David Pasquesi) -- the hippy-dippy alchemist of the lodge -- was telling a tall tale about having a parasite rummaging around his gut for several years, and then we were misdirected by his immense nervousness about public speaking before the group for most of the episode. So when the moment came and this happened, it was just as surprising as it was disgusting.

What’s on TV Thursday: ‘The Good Place’ and ‘Fighting With My Family’

What’s on TV

THE GOOD PLACE 8:30 p.m. on NBC. “The second you conceive of any system of what happens after you die, you then realize, oh, there’s a million flaws with this,” Michael Schur, the creator of this sitcom, said in a recent interview with The New York Times. In 2016, “The Good Place” began its first season by introducing Eleanor (Kristen Bell), a saleswoman who dies and finds out that admission to the show’s equivalent of heaven is determined by a point system. Much has changed since then: The show’s fourth and final season, which comes to a close Thursday night, has focused largely on the idea that sorting humans into a “good place” and a “bad place” is a fool’s errand. After the Thursday night finale, Seth Meyers will host a live panel discussion with Schur and the cast — Bell, Ted Danson, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and D’Arcy Carden.

EVIL 10 p.m. on CBS. The first season of this supernatural thriller series has pitted an investigator (played by Mike Colter), his associate (Aasif Mandvi) and a forensic psychologist (Katja Herbers) against a villain who loves the occult (Michael Emerson). Thursday night’s episode is the season finale.

GHOST IN THE SHELL (2017) 6:45 p.m. on Syfy. If you want to see Scarlett Johansson — currently up for two Oscars for her performances in “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit” — in a movie that’s the polar opposite of “Marriage Story,” one option is this turbulent adaptation of a famed Japanese manga. Johansson plays a cyborg soldier investigating her own past in a near-future world. (Her casting caused controversy: The original manga is set in Japan, and many questioned why the part didn’t go to an Asian or Asian-American actress.) While this live-action version of the story is ambitious, curious audiences may be better off checking out the actual source material: In her review for The Times, Manohla Dargis called this film “visually cluttered yet often disappointingly drab,” adding that it’s “one of those future-shock stories that edges around the dystopian without going full-bore apocalyptic.” For a full-bore apocalypse fix on TV Thursday night, see instead the Will Smith vehicle I AM LEGEND (2007), airing at 6 p.m. on AMC.

FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY (2019) Stream on Amazon and Hulu. Florence Pugh plays a young British woman who finds fame in the wrestling ring in this comedy. Pugh’s character, Paige, comes from a family of wrestlers (Nick Frost and Lena Headey play the parents) who run a gym in Norwich, England. Paige’s eventual stardom creates a fissure in her relationship with her older brother, Zak (Jack Lowden) — a situation that adds some tension to this witty movie. The film was written and directed by Stephen Merchant, a creator of the British version of “The Office.” Manohla Dargis wrote in her review for The Times that he has here “a terrific cast (including Vince Vaughn as a coach), pinpoint timing and a gift for visual japes and physical comedy, for arranging bodies in funny formations and for underlining everyday absurdity.”

TV We're Thankful For in 2017: Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones and More

New Post has been published on https://gossip.network/tv-were-thankful-for-in-2017-greys-anatomy-game-of-thrones-and-more/

TV We're Thankful For in 2017: Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones and More

The CW; NBC; ABC / Melissa Hebeler; E! Illustration

It’s that time of year, TV fans.

Time to gather around with loved ones, pile your plate full of turkey and pumpkin pie, unbutton that top button on your pants, and dig in. But before you do, it’s only customary to go around the table and share what your most thankful for. In that spirit, the E! News TV Team is coming at you with what we’re most grateful for this year—and you know it all has to do with our beloved small screen. (Yeah, yeah, we’re thankful for our families and our health, too. But you don’t want to hear all that mushy stuff!)

Every Thanksgiving, the members of our team reveal what TV delights got them through the year, ranging from massive milestone episodes to minor moments. So join as as we share with you what we’ll be talking about when we get together with our families to distract us from ruminating on what a bizarre year this has truly been. And, as always, be sure to let us know what you’re thankful too!

NBC

This Is Us For Giving and Withholding

I fully admit I was a bit nervous going into season two that the show, which has possibly achieved a new level of hype and exposure in the TV world, would hit the dreaded sophomore slump, doubling down on aspects of the show fans loved. (We get it, Internet, you all want to know how Jack died!) Fortunately, the show gave us a few clues in the premiere, and are slowly but steadily doling out the explanations, choosing to focus on character-building and relationship-testing storylines. —Tierney Bricker

CW

Crazy Ex‘s Continued Excellence

Bless Rachel Bloom, Aline Brosh McKenna and the entire cast and crew of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The beloved CW musical dramedy continues to push boundaries in every possible direction without feeling forced or preachy. Rebecca Bunch’s evolution (or spiral to rock bottom) has been handled with grace, while remaining hilarious. Striking that hilarious/poignant balance is no easy feat, especially when dealing with mental illness, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend continues to walk that line expertly in season three. —Chris Harnick

ABC

Grey’s Anatomy‘s Ghosts

Grey’s Anatomy joined an elite club of shows this year when it aired its landmark 300th episode, and in doing so, paid perfect homage to all those who helped get the series off the ground and keep it afloat for 14 years. From the trauma patients who bore uncanny resemblances to former stars T.R. Knight, Sandra Oh and Katherine Heigl, to the very early Grey’s feel of the interns’ actions, to Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) seeing Ellis (Kate Burton) up in the O.R. observation gallery, applauding her Harper Avery win, it was a pitch-perfect episode. —Billy Nilles

The CW

Riverdale

I don’t know what this show is smokin’ most of the time. It’s insane and makes no sense, but I love that it exists. I love that there’s a show on TV that will just throw out any wacky thing it thinks of in the most dramatic fashion while we’re just supposed to accept it. Sure, that’s how you join a gang. Sure, Jingle Jangle is a great name for a drug. Sure, shower sex is a great idea while you’re washing your father’s blood off of your clothes. Whatever. It’s great, and I’m so thankful we have it. —Lauren Piester

HBO

Game of Thrones For its Incest*

OK, I am NOT a fan of incest. BUT I did like finally feeling vindicated by Jon Snow and Dany’s hookup this past season after calling  that it would happen for years! Yes, my need to gloat tops my disdain for relatives hooking up. (Also, they don’t know?! I am trying to convince myself it’s OK to help this ‘ship sail, people. No one said shipping was easy.) —Tierney Bricker

*But Cersei and Jaime are just messed up. Period.

NBC

The Good Place

NBC’s The Good Place is easily my happy place. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson lead a cast that’s on top of their games. The Good Place turned everything on its head at the end of season one, allowing for season two to truly blossom. If D’Arcy Carden doesn’t get an Emmy for playing Janet, well, fork that. —Chris Harnick

Netflix

The Funny Ladies of Netflix

It seems like Netflix drops a new series every time I blink my eyes, to varying degrees of quality, but since the January release of the One Day at a Time reboot (starring the luminous Justina Machado), they’ve proven to be a haven for some of the funniest women in the game. Aside from mainstays Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Grace & Frankie, the streaming giant brought Drew Barrymore to TV in the madcap zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet, introduced the world to the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling with GLOW, found Dear White People‘s trio of fantastic female leads (Logan Browning, Antoinette Robertson, and Ashley Blaine Featherston), and gave us a second season of Maria Bamford‘s sweetly surreal Lady Dynamite. Even The Defenders was slightly redeemed by Krysten Ritter‘s Jessica Jones and the humor she injected into the otherwise dull proceedings. In a year that’s proven there are more bad men in Hollywood than we could even count, turning these funny ladies on and tuning out an ugly world has been a true godsend. —Billy Nilles

Babysitter Steve Harrington

I loved all of season two of Stranger Things (even that terrible episode!), but what I loved most was the fact that my season one love of Steve Harrington was not only justified, but it became larger and more widely accepted. The whole world now sees the joy in this ’80s jock who’s really just a kindly single mom at heart, with Farrah Fawcett hair and a baseball bat covered in nails. We can all now unite behind Steve Harrington, and for that I am thankful. —Lauren Piester

Luann Falling Into a Bush on RHONY

Sure, Luann (or Lu, as her friends like to call her) has given us so many .gif(t)s over the years, but does anything top her falling harder than she fell for (Please don’t let it be about) Tom into a bush after drinking a few too many margaritas on the RHONY ladies’ infamous trip to Mexico? Oh, and then her subsequent fall off of a four-foot high cement platform? Classy as ever, she laughed it off…and woke up to do yoga, surf and give zero effs about her drunken antics the following day. This is how you Housewife, people! —Tierney Bricker

TLC

90 Day Fiance

Somehow I have become somebody who not only DVRs 90 Day Fiance, but also tweets about it. The guilty pleasure reality show satisfies all my curiosity and drama needs. Who’s actually in love? Who’s so delusional? My judgmental nature flies freely thanks to this show. Don’t even get me started on Before the 90 Days… —Chris Harnick

NBC

SNL‘s Lowkey Obsession With RHOBH‘s Erika Jayne

All hail the kitty ambassador to the twink republic of Quonk! I’m not sure who in the SNL writers’ room is a hardcore fan of the RHOBH fave, but I’m so glad they are. It was exciting enough when, during Chris Pine‘s episode in May, he and Bobby Moynihan performed a “lip sync for your life” to Erika’s “XXPEN$IVE.” But watching Cecily Strong become Erika—excuse me, Candace—during the “New Wife” sketch with Larry David in early November slayed me. Now who do I have to bribe with munty and Givenchy hunty to have Candace and Erika meet? —Billy Nilles

ABC

Every Single Season of Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix

Grey’s Anatomy has been my entire life for the past month, and it was the happiest month of the year, maybe (not really). Sure, I cried a lot about things that normally wouldn’t make me cry, but those tears were cathartic. I needed them. Everyone should rapidly rewatch all 13 1/2 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy at least once in their lives. —Lauren Piester
