It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Archives

Doesn't it sometimes seem like our favorite places to hang out aren't as cool those we see on TV?

Why is it that the local diner never quite lives up to Monk's or Luke's?

Is any bar quite as trashy as Paddy's Pub or as exciting as Emerald City after your shift at work?

Is the pie ever as good as it was at the Pie Hole or the Double R Diner?

What? You think we're crazy? Check out the slideshow and then let us where you'd like to hang out!

1. Emerald City Bar from Grey's Anatomy

When good times are to be had, epic romances to be made and tequila shots to be done, the hot docs go to Joe's bar. Some have worked there, some have made it their best friend. It's a place for memories, and we'd like to made some of our own!

2. Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls

Coffee, burgers, absolutely no cell phones and service that depends upon how Luke is feeling on any given day. And we still want to go.

3. Monk's Cafe from Seinfeld

You know the guys from Seinfeld, right? Was there anything that didn't annoy the hell out of them? No. Except the food at Monk's. They knew the staff, met there almost every day and loved the food. We trust we would, too.

4. The Double R Diner from Twin Peaks

What was the deal, a slice of cherry pie and a damn fine cup o' coffee? The place looks cool as all get out, kind of like a blast to the past (even before the original Twin Peaks, guys), and the creepy vibe of the town? Well. It calls to us.

5. The Pie Hole on Pushing Daisies

Let's be honest, the pies wouldn't even have to be good to want to step inside of a restaurant that LOOKS like a giant pie. But these pies are even baked right in the restaurant, so you know they'd be the best. Yes please.

6. Paddy's Irish Pub from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

There's not much of a draw here other than the lack of crowds and the desire to see these crazy cats get into some equally crazy scheme. You never know what you might stumble into. It's like a grab box with beer.

These characters are just miserable. They even talk about it.

And you know what we have to say about it?

Don't go changin'!

That's right. We kinda love watching these miserable sots. Not only does their gloom make us feel better about our own lives, it's what makes them tick.

Whether they're good detectives, good doctors, good lovers or just good jackasses, their wretched lives only make them that much better.

1. Meredith - Grey's Anatomy

Maybe it's just working where does that makes her so miserable, because it is one of the incurable diseases amongst the staff workers at Grey Sloan, but all the drinking and dancing in the world can't seem to knock the misery out of Meredith's life. Her happiness is infrequent despite having good friends and adorable kids.

2. Harry - The Flash

So far, Harry isn't downright Evil, so perhaps miserable is a win. And his daughter, Jesse, IS being held in a cage by evil dude, Zoom, and Harry's inability to stop him is forcing his hand to work with him. But still, until we see a genuine smile on this guy's face, there's nothing to say he won't always be hopeful more misery is on the way.

3. Ray - Ray Donovan

Ray could have it all. Alright, his wife, kids and family are all pains in the asses. We'd be miserable if they were our lot in life, too. But he doesn't really do a lot to help the situation. If anything, he just digs himself in deeper, ensuring their happiness at his expense.

4. Quinn - UnREAL

On top of the fact she's just a manipulative bitch, Quinn has the added pressure to do both her own work at Chet's, for which he only treats her like a doormat, even stealing and selling her ideas as his. She gets her strength by treating others similarly, which ain't good.

5. Andre - Empire

Is there anything more miserable than having no talent in a talented family? Even though he has a way with business and money, it still doesn't match up to the criminal ways his father can get ahead. His good heart will always come up short.

6. Dougal - Outlander

Dougal wants what Jamie has, lock, stock and barrel and there's not a single thing he can do to get it. He's not even happy with the bonny time traveler of his own he has (not that she shares like Claire). Since he can't get what he wants, he'll wallow and try to make everyone around him do the same.

It's time to break out those dancing shoes and get down with some of our favorite TV characters!

Some of the goofiest and most memorable moments of our favorite TV series involved dance numbers, and we decided to showcase some of the best.

How many of these slick moves do you remember? Which ones made you laugh the hardest?

Scroll through our slideshow and let us know your favorites in the comments!

1. Dancing It Out - Grey's Anatomy

Any fan of Grey's knows dancing is necessary for these characters to deal with all the darkness and drama that surrounds them. The "twisted sisters" especially use it as a form of therapy throughout the series.

2. The Routine - Friends

Could "the Routine" be any more ridiculous? Ross and Monica's eighth grade dance was not going to successfully get them on TV during New Year's Rockin' Eve...well, except for the blooper reel.

3. Slo-Mo Chicken Dance - New Girl

Jess is excited to join her new roommates at a wedding, but they are afraid she will embarrass them and don't appreciate her uncool love of the Chicken Dance. However, after each has a disappointing evening, they all bond while chicken dancing to "A Groovy Kind of Love"

4. Zumba - Chicago Fire

Brett discovering that Cruz was a zumba instructor gave us one of the funniest moments ever on the series. While some of the guys had some skill, it was impossible not to laugh at the not-so-coordinated firefighters.

5. Snake Juice - Parks and Recreation

The whole Parks department showed up to support Tom's nightclub, the Snakehole lounge, and the unveiling of his new drink, Snake Juice. Hilarity ensued as they all got incredibly drunk, and we were treated to Ron cutting it loose!

6. Once More With Feeling - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

One of the best episodes of the series, the musical episode of Buffy was full of song and dance. While a lot of the subject matter was serious, the music made it fun. Who knew these actors were so talented?

In the spirit of April Fool's Day, we thought we'd take a look at some of the best pranks on TV.

Some of these took a lot of time and planning, but the payoff in the end was well worth the effort!

These pranks are funny and creative, and they just might give you a few ideas for your next target.

So check out our list of 15 TV pranks and remember to watch your back this April Fool's Day!

1. The Office

It's impressive Jim managed to actually sell any paper at Dunder Mifflin considering how much time and effort he put into pranking Dwight! It's impossible to pick a favorite, but some of the standouts include the wrapping paper desk, the stapler in jello, and the personal items in the vending machine. There was no telling what Jim would come up with next!

2. The Simpsons

Bart has made countless hilarious prank calls to Moe over the years, and poor Moe falls for it every time! Some of the best fake names Bart has made him say include "Al Coholic," "Hugh Jass," and "Anita Bath."

3. The Big Bang Theory

Howard has taken all kinds of abuse from Sheldon, but he got his revenge in the best way possible with his hilarious fake heart attack. Sheldon thought he was the one doing the pranking, planning to shock him with a handshake. But, Howard then falls to the ground and Bernadette exclaims he has a heart condition. She makes Sheldon stab him with a fake adrenaline needle. This time, the "bazinga" was on Sheldon!

4. Castle

Kate and the boys pulled off a fantastic, "Rear Window" esque prank on Castle when he's laid up with a broken leg. They manage to convince him there is a murderer across the street, to the point where Kate goes over there to check it out. Castle sees her get attacked from the window, and that's when it is revealed to be a suprise birthday party! Castle seems upset for a second at thinking Kate was going to die, but then proclaims the prank to be the best birthday present ever.

5. Parks and Recreation

When Ben starts his job as city manager, he's a little uptight, even for him. Donna, April, and Andy decide he needs to loosen up a bit, and the best way to do that is to prank him! They get him fake arrested, and then Andy agrees to help Ben prank them back. The problem is, Ben is a terrible prankster, and he just winds up getting fake blood on everyone.

6. Teen Wolf

It's tradition to prank Coach Finstock the day before Halloween, which also happens to be his birthday. When he finds a box on the desk in his office, he pokes at it with a lacrosse stick, suspicious of a prank. When nothing happens, he opens the box, finding screws. When he lifts it, all of his pictures come crashing down because the screws have been removed. He's angry and runs into his classroom, finding another box on his desk. Thinking it's another prank, he throws it down and stomps on it, only to discover that it was a coffee mug for his birthday.

FXX isn't foolin' around today.

They just ordered a double season renewal of their highly rated and very funny comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which just ended it's 11th season.

Giving the series an additional two years for Season 13 and Season 14 puts it into a tie with the Ozzy and Harriet Show for the longest-running live-action comedy series.

If the series scores a 15th season down the road, it will break the tie – in the year 2020.

“If anyone doubts the power of a camcorder and a dream, just look at It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which was a DIY backyard pilot when Rob, Charlie and Glenn brought it to FX and will go down in TV history as one of the most loved and enduring comedies,” said co-President of Original Programming for FX Networks and FX Productions Nick Grad on Friday.

“Few shows make it this far or have such devoted fans, and we owe it all to the creative vision and great humor of the creators and cast who keep Sunny fresh and inventive every season.”

If you want to catch up on this hilarious series, you can watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia online here on TV Fanatic.

With the New Year comes new programming. Sure, some of it will be familiar, but a lot of it won't.

Here's a quick refresher on what will be flowing over the next two months.

What shows pique your interest? If we have any inside information, we'll toss in our two cents along the way.

Welcome to 2016 everyone!

1. New Girl

New Girl returns Tuesday, January 5. Feels like forever, right? What we know is you can expect a larger CeCe arc as Jesse is sequestered for jury duty (in real life Zooey Daschenal is having a baby!) when Megan Fox's character, Reagan, rents out Jesse's room. Reagan has a romantic past with CeCe, so expect things to get weird very fast!

2. The Shannara Chronicles

The Shannara Chronicles premieres Tuesday, January 5th at 10/9c on MTV. The series is based on a best-selling series of books based thousands of years into the future when technology has died out, magic reentered the world and died out again. Elves rule and humans are subspecies. When demons threaten to rise up and destroy the world, three hot teenagers of varying elfin/human ethnicities are the only ones who can save it. So, yeah. Big budget, big expectations.

3. American Crime

When American Crime returns to ABC on Wed., January 6 at 10/9c, the theme will be class, gender issues, sexual orientation and sexual identity taking place via a midwestern high school basketball team and its players, coaches and parents.

4. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

The gang is back for more antics on Wednesday, January 6, at 10/9c on FXX. In it's 11th season, are there any worries It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will fail to bring the funny?

5. Man Seeking Woman

Man Seeking Woman also returns to FX on January 6, just after It's Always Sunny. You'd think Josh would give up on dating, but nope! The second season promises to be even weirder than the first, so give it a look!

6. Shameless

When Shameless returns to Showtime on Sunday, January 10, you can expect Frank to be dealing with Debbie's pregnancy decisions, a new character to be dealing with terminal cancer and an introduction to Frank's ex.

The television landscape can feel overwhelming sometimes.

What's worse is when you want to jump onto a bandwagon years after a show has started and the new season is on the way, or even worse...it's already come and gone completely!

The good news is, that hardly matters anymore with all the online streaming going on.

The following shows are available to watch on Amazon Prime from their first seasons through their latest fully aired.

The next time you're shopping online, you can stop and take a television break!

1. The Royals

E! has a certified hit on their hands with this shocking look at royalty. Yes, they're fictional. Watch the first season now!

2. Wolf Hall

You like the story of Anne Bolelyn? Well this is the story of Thomas Cromwell helping her hubby, King Henry VIII overcome opposition when he wants to marry her, despite already being married.

3. House of Lies

Marty Kaan is a management consultant who uses anything and anyone to get ahead in business. Look out world!

4. Schitt's Creek

The only thing a once wealthy couple has left after going broke is the small town they bought years earlier on a lark – Schitt's Creek. Good times!

5. Fortitude

A picturesque town in the arctic is changed for ever when its non-violent crime streak is wiped away after a research scientist is murdered. What secrets lie beneath the town's icy suface?

6. Teen Wolf

After a teenager is bitten in the woods, he suddenly discovers there are a lot of supernatural creatures in his hometown of Beacon Hills, and his destiny is to become a True Alpha, ruling a pack of his own.

The cast of Stranger Things is growing on Netflix.

When Season 2 comes around, Paul Riser, Sean Astin and Linnea Berthelson will also be along for the ride.

Reiser will play Dr. Owens, a high-ranking member within the Department of Energy on a “clean-up” assignment, tasked with containing the events of last year.

Astin will be Bob Newby, a kind-hearted former nerd who went to high school with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) and now manages the local Hawkins RadioShack.

Berthelsen will portray Roman, an emotionally damaged, magnetic young woman who suffered a great loss as a child. Although she doesn't live in Hawkins, she' mysteriously connected to the supernatural events at the lab.

In addition to Ryder and Harbour, they’ll join new series regulars Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery, along with the group we've come to love already, Joe Keery, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Millie Bobby Brown (of course she's back!!).

With The Big Bang Theory Season 10 being the last with everyone on contract, CBS is starting to make plans for a potential spinoff.

While it's fully expected that the wildly successful series will be renewed for another season, if not more, it's time for the stars to start negotiating contracts, and that means possible changes for the upcoming seasons.

The spinoff, titled Sheldon, would focus on the 12-year-old prodigy and all the crazy characters in his life. Hello Meemaw! It would also be partnered with The Big Bang Theory on the schedule, and if successful, be the series to take the place of TBBT when it eventually goes off the air.

Yes, all good things must eventually end.

Jonathan Howard has been cast on the upcoming season of The Last Ship as a British Royal Navy Commander and MI-6 agent.

This handsome fellow is described as a cross between James Bond and a Navy SEAL, according to Deadline.

Fletcher is tasked to work with the crew of the USS Nathan James to recover stolen items crucial to the survival of the planet. I can't imagine what they might be, but it sounds a bit like an Indiana Jones situation.

He'll work closely with Sasha Cooper, who’s still with the ship, even in the absence of Capt. Chandler, who walked off Nathan James at the end of The Last Ship Season 3.

FXX has scheduled the season premieres for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Man Seeking Woman, it was announced today by Chuck Saftler, President of Program Strategy and COO, FX Networks.

On Wednesday, January 4, Season 12 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will return at 10:00 PM, immediately followed by the Season 3 premiere of Man Seeking Woman at 10:30 PM.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 12 will feature the gang going to a waterpark, dealing with a Wolf Cola PR nightmare and actually spending a whole day tending bar.

Man Seeking Woman Season 3 will see Josh face his toughest challenge yet: a serious, long-term relationship. Together, Josh and Lucy (Katie Findlay) will take on anniversaries, merging friend groups, ruthless drug lords, friendly forest creatures, student loans and even God himself.

Nashville's Chris Carmack confirmed in a tweet that Luke Wheeler, played by Will Chase, will return to the series.

It's always a good day opening up for Luke Wheeler! @WillChaseMe @NashvilleCMT pic.twitter.com/eIF82bpr9W
— Chris Carmack (@RealCarmack) November 6, 2016

The role, however, will be brief. He's now starring on Time After Time on ABC, but will be in concert on the Nashville Season 5 premiere on its new home on CMT.

That gives fans a whole new reason to tune in if they were afraid things might not be the same with the series they grew to love on ABC.

Even better, something fans always loved and was missing in the later episode, the music, will once again become a focal point of the country-music-business based themed series.

If you've been enjoying American Housewife, you're not alone.

It launched as the highest rated ABC program on Tuesdays right from the start, and has now been given a back nine order of episodes for a full season of 22.

Katy Mixon stars as a flawed, but confident, mom who lives in uptight Westport, CT, where they don't take to flaws of any kind very well. I like to think of it as Odd Mom Out for broadcast networks.

Finally, TV Land handed out a series order for American Woman, a series based loosely on the upbringing of co-executive producer Kyle Richards. Set in the '70s, the single camera comedy will star Alicia Silverstone and follow the sexual revolution and feminism.

Silverstone stars as Bonnie, a mother of two girls who, together with her two best friends, struggles to find her independence in a world not ready to give it. Mena Suvari and Jennifer Bartels also star.

"We feel very lucky to be working with John Riggi and John Wells on this fantastic series that is not only beautifully written and directed, but has a stellar cast that portrays the themes of the ‘70s in a way that is still relevant today,” said Keith Cox, president of development and original programming at TV Land.

We all know how stressful the holidays can be. When you're feeling overwhelmed with your own family shenanigans, just remember that things could be worse.

Sure, Grandma Esther might pinch your cheeks and pester you about when you're finally going to settle down, but you're probably not too worried that she's poisoned the cranberry sauce.

So while you're counting to 10 before answering Uncle Carl's borderline bigoted question and avoiding Aunt Linda's attempts to discuss the presidential primaries, just remember things could be worse.

You could be sitting down to dinner with one of these families instead.

1. Game of Thrones: The Lannisters

Game of Thrones is full of terrible families, but the Lannisters are probably the worst. From twincest to attempted fraticide, this family is chock full of sociopaths. When they're not busy trying to kill each other, there are outside threats to worry about. In this family, instead of catching the big game, you're likely to endure the torture of a relative.

2. Tyrant: The Al-Fayeeds

Sure, finding out you're set to inherit $100 million sounds great, but not when it comes with this family. Not only did patriarch Jamal rape his daughter-in-law on her wedding night, he accidentally murdered his mother in an attempt to kill his new-found son. With assassination plots, faked deaths, and an inter-family coup, their holiday dinner is sure to make yours look like a cake walk.

3. Scandal: The Popes

When your father is the head of a shadowy black ops group and your mother is a terroist, you're off to a bad start. Thanksgiving with the Popes would probably feature killer food from the best chef in town accompanied by the finest wines, but the conversation is sure to be littered with landmines.

4. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: The Johnsons

A family with superpowers and a lot of unresolved angst, secrets, and betrayal? Dinner probably isn't going to end well. Somebody storming out or throwing a dinner roll is nothing in comparison to how this family feud would play out.

5. Empire: The Lyons

You'd think that doing seventeen years in prison for your husband would earn you some spousal loyalty, but not so with the Lyons. Fights in this family are less name calling and more hair-pulling, face-punching, and skull-crushing. You would not want to be stuck in the middle of the stuggle for the last piece of pie.

6. Revenge: The Graysons

Sure, this family came to a Hamlet-esque end, but they were pretty terrible while they were still alive. In addition to a variety of crimes and an astounding amount of adultry, they take their revenge fantasies very seriously. Steer clear of this family's dinner table unless you want a carving knife in your back.

Tis the season!

Snowy days, cozy blankets, days off, a fire crackling in the fire place, the smell of pine in the air...

Christmas has a feel to it that no other holiday does. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

In honor of this sacred holiday, I've gathered 25 of the most memorable Christmas episodes on TV. Some are funny and make you laugh; some are heartfelt and leave you comforted; and some are terrifying and make you glad you weren't there.

I've recommended 25 episodes so you can watch one every day leading up to Christmas. If anyone actually does this, please let me know because that would be awesome! Otherwise, feel free to skip around or just pick and choose.

One more thing, there are bound to be Christmas episodes you think are missing so definitely let me know in the comments.

Now, enjoy reliving the Christmas memories of your favorite TV friends and family!

1. Dec. 1st: "The Bracebridge Dinner" - Gilmore Girls

We begin with Gilmore Girls since I know most of you are going through withdrawals after binge watching season 8 in one day. On this episode, Lorelai and Sookie plan an elaborate meal only to lose their guests when they’re snowed in so they decide to invite the town instead. Throughout the beautifully decorated festivities, Rory pretends she’s not interested in Jess, Luke pretends he’s not interested in Lorelai, and Lorelai’s parents get a much needed mini-vacation. You can watch the full episode on Netflix.

2. Dec. 2nd: "Santa Simulation" - The Big Bang Theory

It was hard to pick just one Christmas episode from The Big Bang Theory but this is my favorite because it has a girls night out, Raj and Amy sharing hilarious horror stories of dealing with the opposite sex and a soft side of Sheldon. On this episode, the guys plan a Christmas themed Dungeons and Dragons game where Santa is kidnapped. When the girls learn they're not allowed to play they get dressed up to show the guys what they're missing and go out for drinks. Raj ends up tagging along which provides some of the funniest moments of the episode. During the game, we learn that Sheldon hates Christmas because he asked Santa to bring his Pop Pop back from the dead when he was 5 and all he got was lincoln logs. You can watch the full episode on CBS All Access.

3. Dec. 3rd: "The Strike" - Seinfeld

A Festivus for the rest of us! Kramer wants to resurrect the forgotten holiday which George's dad invented as an alternative to the commercialism of Christmas. We also find out Kramer's been on strike for 12 years and finally goes back to work at a bagel shop only to go on strike again when they refuse to give him time off for Festivus. Elsewhere on the episode, Elaine is trying to track down a guy she gave a fake number to because she accidently wrote it on the back of her free sub card and George creates a fake charity so he doesn't have to give Christmas gifts to his co-workers. It's a classic Seinfeld episode and one of the best of its last season. You can watch the full episode on Hulu.

4. Dec. 4th: "A Very Sunny Christmas" - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Dennis and Dee are their usual whiny, entitled selves as they complain that Frank buys the presents they want and keeps them for himself. This year it’s a Lamborghini and a designer purse. Charlie and Mac reminisce about their childhoods which turn out to be horrific as Charlie discovers his mom was banging multiple “Santas” and Mac’s family was breaking into other people’s houses and stealing their presents. As usual the group is at their worst and it's awesome. Uplifting? No. Heartfelt? Not at all. The episode ends with them throwing rocks at trains because it’s really the only thing they have left to hold onto. You can watch the full episode on Hulu or Netflix.

5. Dec. 5th: "Christmas in the Car" - Bob's Burgers

This episode reminds me so much of 2001's Joy Ride. The Belchers head out on Christmas Eve to get a new tree after their first two die. While out, they cut off the driver of a candy cane truck who responds by chasing them. In their attempts to avoid him they end up spending Christmas Eve and the first few hours of Christmas in the car. Meanwhile, back at their house, Teddy stops by to turn off the oven and ends up stealing the episode. You can find current episodes of Bob's Burgers on Fox Now.

6. Dec. 6th: "The Best Chrismukkah Ever" - The OC

This episode will always be remembered for Summer's gift to Seth -- her in a Wonder Woman outfit. I mean, DAMN. The girl looked amazing. Anna was great but we all knew she didn’t stand a chance. Although Seth was forced to pick between the two girls, he will never have to choose between his mother’s waspy Christmas and his dad’s Jewish Hannukah because he created the best holiday ever – Chrismukkah. Eight days of presents followed by one day of many presents. The fact that it was Ryan’s first Christmas with the Cohens only made it that much more special. You can watch the full episode on Hulu.

There are the lawyers that do good – Jack McCoy, Marshall Eriksen, Sandy Cohen.

Then there are the lawyers that look good – Jessica Pearson, Olivia Pope, Harvey Specter.

Finally there are the lawyers that make you question the entire legal profession – wait, actually that's most of them. We don't have the time or space to make that list right now.

Love them or hate them, lawyers serve a vital purpose in our litigious society.

They fight for the wrongly accused; prosecute dangerous criminals; educate and shape young minds; and all in all try to make this world a better place.

There are bound to be lawyers I forgot, so don't hesitate to add your favorites in the comments.

And remember to watch The Good Fight on CBS All Access, Sunday, February 19, 2017 at 8:00 PM ET.

Now without further ado...

1. Will Gardner - The Good Wife

Josh charles as will gardner the good wife

Will Gardner, played by Josh Charles, was a ladies man and a cunning attorney. We got to see his romantic side through his relationship with Alicia and his loyal and supportive side through his friendship with Diane. He was flawed, but an all around good person. The Good Wife season 5 episode 15 will go down as one of the most shocking, heart breaking episodes in series history.

2. Annalise Keating - How to Get Away with Murder

Portrayed by SAG and Emmy award winning actress Viola Davis, Annalise is a passionate attorney with a troubled past and present. She fights vigorously for her clients but also ends up on the wrong side of the court room from time to time. She has complicated relationships with everyone in her life and though she tries to be a good person she is usually unsuccessful.

3. Barry Zuckerkorn - Arrested Development

Arrested Development was just renewed for Season 5, and I'm seriously hoping we see Henry Winkler's character again. In later seasons he may have been fired and replaced by Bob Boblaw, who was equally incompetant, but the Bluth's need someone who knows their true crazy and still defends them vigorously. Or at least tries to. Sometimes. Even if he has no idea what he's doing.

4. Jackie Chiles - Seinfeld

Everyone knows Jackie Chiles, portrayed hilariously by Phil Morris, was based on Johnnie Cochran. They both wear glasses, have mustaches, and are well-dressed with a penchant for grandiose vocabulary. Jackie Chiles was initially brought on to represent Kramer but he ended up playing a crucial role in the series finale thanks to the gang's "lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous" behavior.

5. Erin Reagan - Blue Bloods

Erin Reagan, played by Bridget Moynahan, is the daughter of police commissioner Frank Reagan, a New York County Assistant District Attorney and a single mother. She's dealt with shootings inside courtrooms, hostage situations, and physical assualts but she remains strong. An avid gun owner with a preference for glocks, she is the best shot in the Reagan family.

6. Jack McCoy - Law & Order

Sam Waterson played Jack McCoy from 1994 - 2010. He started out as the Executive Assistant District Attorney before becoming the New York County District Attorney. Jack had a difficult childhood which no doubt affects his adult relatiomnships. He's been divorced twice, has a strained relationship with his daughter and tends to have inappropriate relationships with his subordinates. When it comes to law, he's willing to bend the rules a little if it means justice will be served.

Whether they're good at listening to your problems or simply helping you forget them with a strong drink, these TV bartenders certainly are memorable.

From a classic character who runs a place where everyone will know your name to one who's known to break into song, here's a list of 15 TV bartenders who will help you drink your troubles away.

Which bartender is your favorite, and who else would you add to the list? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

1. Greg Serranno (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)

Oh Greg, how we miss you. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Greg Serrano is one of the first friends Rebecca Bunch makes in her move to West Covina, California. He's not only a great bartender, but he can sing, too!

2. Sarah Braverman (Parenthood)

Sarah Braverman is one of those characters you wish you could be best friends with. She makes the decision to move with her kids back home when she has no where else to go, and works as a bartender to make ends meet. She's whimsical, hard-working, and great at her job, though eventually she finds a new passion and a new career.

3. Sam Malone (Cheers)

Sam Malone from Cheers is the iconic cool-guy bartender. Owner and bartender at Cheers, he's a laid back guy who's great with his customers. There's no other bar like his, and he makes it the kinf of place you can go where everybody knows your name. (Cue the theme song!)

4. Joe (Grey's Anatomy)

Owner of The Emerald City Bar across from the hospital, Joe could take a little credit for Meredith and Derek's love story. In the very least, he was the person who watched them meet for the first time. And when he collapsed in the bar, he was lucky to be surrounded by doctors, and received an out of the ordinary operation that saved his life. It's a been a while since we've seen good old Joe, though there's no explanation to why that is.

5. Luke Cage (Jessica Jones / Luke Cage)

Luke Cage is likely the coolest bartender on this list. We first see him appear on Jessica Jones when she stops by his bar, but we quickly learn his bartending abilities are nothing compared to his superhuman abilities.

6. Dee (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

True, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Dee isn't exactly what you'd call a skilled bartender -- or a friendly one -- but she certainly is memorable!

Some prefer to work their frustrations out in the gym. Others think running outside in the fresh air is therapeutic.

Some make fitness an everyday staple of their life. A few are so lucky that working out is part of their career.

Whether it's surfing, baseball, yoga or even dancing, sometimes you just need to get your blood pumping and the sweat flowing.

Here are 23 TV characters we've seen sweat it out on more than one occasion.

1. Randall Pearson - This Is Us

Randall is a perfectionist. He puts 100% into his family, his work and his health. His wife has to practically drag him off the treadmill at times. While he played football as a kid, he now prefers to run around his neighborhood.

2. Mike Lawson - Pitch

Does anyone remember Pitch season 1 episode 7 where the whole team decided to pose nude when naked pictures of Ginny were released? If you saw it, you remember. If you didn't, feast your eyes on the glorious image above. Mike Lawson, portrayed by everyone's 90's crush, Mark Paul Gosselaar, did not disappoint when he stood up for his teammate in said episode.

3. Jane Chapman - Big Little Lies

Three mothers big little lies season 1 episode 5

Jane Chapman has a complicated past. She is literally and figuratively running from it, and sometimes even toward it, on Big Little Lies season 1. Running helps her get out her frustrations and clear her mind. It also keeps her thin which is important since a figure from her past caused some insecurities about her weight.

4. Nathan Scott - One Tree Hill

Nathan Scott lived for basketball. His dream was to play collegiately before eventually joining the NBA. Before he met his wife, the sport was all he cared about and he focused all his time and effort on mastering it. When he wasn't on the court, he was in the gym or practicing on the hoop in his driveway.

5. Chris Traeger - Parks and Recreation

Chris Traeger is not human. Well, he is but he functions more like a robot. Not only does he eat extremely healthy but he works out constantly and hopes to be the first human to live to be 150 years old. Portrayed by well known actor Rob Lowe, Chris is also very positive and upbeat which one could assume is a result of all the endorphins.

6. Darius Beck - UnREAL

Darius Beck is a professional football player who takes time off from his career to fall in love on Everlasting. During the course of the show he's constantly without a shirt, showing off the body he built through hard work on the field and in the gym.

Can you imagine if Grey's Anatomy or This is Us had been given different titles?

Would Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been received any differently as simply Slayer?

Those shows, and several others, were almost given some pretty bad titles. Check them out below!

1. This is Us

It's hard to imagine NBC's smash hit going by any other name, but before the title This is Us was chosen, the working title for the show was actually 36, -- the ages Jack, Kate, Randall, and Kevin all turn on the pilot episode.

2. Friends

There were apparently several titles that were considered before landing on the title Friends. Other possibilities for the popular comedy included Six of One and Across the Hall.

3. The Good Wife

The CBS drama The Good Wife had a few other possibilities as well. Among the titles condiered were The Whole Truth, In the Spotlight, and Leave the Bastard. I don't know about you, but I'm a fan of that last one.

4. New Girl

Here's a fun one. Before it was New Girl, a title that was seriously considered for the Zooey Deschanel led comedy was Chicks and Dicks. Under that title, the show was more about the sex lives of the roommates, but as the plot was developed, it changed focus, and the title was changed along with it.

5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Would Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been received differently with another title? The series was nearly titled something a bit simpler: Slayer. That just doesn't have the same ring to it.

6. Grey's Anatomy

While it's hard to imagine the Shondaland favorite with any other name, Grey's Anatomy was nearly called Surgeons and was also changed briefly to Complications while the show was in development.

No television show is perfect. While some series are clearly superior to others in writing, acting, and directing, all great TV shows have moments that make their fans want to scream.

These bad episodes are impossible to enjoy because we know the show is capable of more, and the circumstances often make us too uncomfortable to warrant a rewatch. The characters we love don't feel like themselves, and the writing can be lazy and/or obnoxious. They're simply not entertaining.

So, let's explore 11 terrible episodes of beloved shows!

What are some of your least favorite episodes of TV? Be sure to share them with us!

1. "Access" - The West Wing

"Access" earned Allison Janney her fourth Emmy Award for playing CJ Cregg. Aside from Janney's always sublime performance, though, "Access" is a disaster.

In The West Wing Season 5 Episode 18, a documentary camera crew follows CJ Cregg around the West Wing to see what a typical day is like for the press secretary. It lacks a lot of what we love about The West Wing, such as the famous walk-and-talks and the talented ensemble of the show. Instead, it uses documentary narration and talking heads like a bad episode of The Office.

When Aaron Sorkin left the show at the end of season 4, it never really got its groove back. "Access," though, is even more difficult to watch because it follows what is definitively the greatest post-Sorkin episode, "The Supremes." How could they go from that wonderful hour of television to this? "Access" is a hot mess from start to finish.

2. "Scott's Tots" - The Office

Michael Scott grew a lot over his years as Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton. In The Office Season 6 Episode 12, we learn that Michael once promised a class of underprivileged kids that he would pay their college tuition when they graduated high school. Unfortunately, when the time comes for Michael to pay up, he's unable to do so. To make up for it, he gives them batteries for their laptops.

It's uncomfortable and absolutely not funny to watch. These children were counting on him, and now, there's a chance they won't be able to attend college. By season 6, Michael Scott was a beloved character and boss. This episode, though, makes us hate Michael all over again.

3. "Song Beneath the Song" - Grey's Anatomy

Song beneath the song greys anatomy season 7

Grey's Anatomy cast members Chandra Wilson and Tony winner Sara Ramirez are incredible singers. Their obvious talent, though, is not enough to make it through this musical episode of Grey's Anatomy. For me, Grey's Anatomy Season 7 Episode 18 was the beginning of the end. I've completely stopped watching this show, and my love for it started to truly deteriorate with this episode.

Ramirez's Callie Torres is in a car accident, and while she is being treated at the hospital, she imagines that everyone around her is singing. Music has always been important on Grey's Anatomy. In fact, every episode is named after a popular song. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean an episode where the cast sings is a good idea. Most of the actors aren't singers, making it an awkward and unwatchable hour of television.

4. "Last Forever" - How I Met Your Mother

Series finales are obviously difficult. It's tough to wrap up a show that's been on for years in a neat package that will satisfy all of your viewers. Before the series finale of How I Met Your Mother, though, a show never became completely unwatchable due to its terrible ending.

How I Met Your Mother spent nine years building up to the ending. That's what the show's entire focus was. How exactly did Ted meet the mother of the kids he's telling the story to, and is every single moment he's been sharing actually important to the ending?

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 centered around the wedding of Barney and Robin, only to find them getting a divorce in the finale. The show spent nine years focusing on how Ted met the mother of his kids to have her die in the end. He basically spent nine years telling his kids this story so that he could ask for permission to date Robin.

In How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episodes 23 and 24, the writers of How I Met Your Mother made the rest of their show impossible to revisit. Now that we know the answers to the questions of the previous seasons, and how terrible those answers are, the other 206 mostly fantastic episodes are a waste of time.

5. "Frank's Brother" - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Franks brother its always sunny in philadelphia season 7

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 7 is one of the show's best. Unfortunately, it includes what most Sunny fans agree is the worst episode of the entire series: "Frank's Brother."

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 7 Episode 5, Frank's estranged brother arrives at Paddy's Pub, and the two fight. They then proceed to tell the gang their story, prompting flashbacks to the 1960s and 70s when they worked in a jazz club with a woman named Shadynasty.

It's a drastic step away from the show's humor and barely features the other four members of the gang. Frank is the most morally reprehensible member of the terrible group. The other four, though, make Frank a semi-tolerable character in small doses. In a season full of gems, an episode featuring Frank this much is a huge disappointment.

6. "Here Comes the Son" - Gilmore Girls

At one point, Jess Mariano was supposed to get his own television show, and "Here Comes the Son" from Gilmore Girls Season 3 serves as a backdoor pilot for his spinoff. In it, Jess travels to California to attempt to build a relationship with his long-lost father, but the episode is boring.

Jess was always my favorite of Rory's three terrible boyfriends, but he was never interesting enough to carry his own show. Why they wanted to give him a spinoff is beyond me, but Gilmore Girls Season 3 Episode 21 is uncomfortable. Even the short moments in Stars Hollow aren't that exciting and make the episode completely skippable during rewatches.
