Top 12 TV Episodes of 2012
12. No Pressure. How I Met Your Mother. Back in February, Ted made another move on Robin and we learned that Marshall and Lily had a bet about Ted and Robin's future. Marshall bet that they'd be together. Ted claimed they'd never get together and Lily wanted the money. Marshall replied with "not yet." I get the feeling that Ted might just get her.
11. Pilot. Go On. After a great day of Olympic festivities, I remained on ESPN to check out Matthew Perry's new comedy, Go On. I liked what I saw and immediately knew that this show would most definitely be a good one.
10. Full Bars. Bob's Burgers. The Halloween episode of Bob's Burgers was so very amazing. So hilarious and I was actually quite confused to the whole thing, but quality as usual.
9. Penguin Hotel. Hotel Impossible. This was the first episode of this show that I saw and I was immediately hooked. A nice hotel setting too.
8. Hurricane Sandy. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy decided that the show must go on, despite having no audience due to a hurricane.
7. Finale. Best Sandwich in America. The episode where Adam Richman finally chose what his favorite sandwich was! I loved the format!
6. British Person or Scientologist? Billy on the Street. This concluded with the greatest For A Dollar game ever. Also, the first episode I saw of this.
5. Dwight Christmas. The Office. Cheer or fear? The Belsnickel is here. How will he judge your year? The last Christmas episode of The Office was memorable as we finally saw that Dwight is really going to miss Jim.
4. Introduction to Finality. Community. Dan Harmon's last episode on Community and he prepared it for a series finale which was made it so good. Everyone realized almost everything and that ending montage is still perfect to this day.
3. Digital Estate Planning. Community. Back to back Community! The video game episode of Community is one to be remembered as their unique aspect. He was suffering! Yeah, from ax wounds!
2. I Ka Wa Mamua. Hawaii Five-O. It means in the past. This episode was so amazing. As Danno is face to face with a bomb, he recounts a story from his New Jersey times to Steve McGarrett. He tells of how his partner was shot and he was beaten at a warehouse bust. Carrying with him, a sonogram of Grace, his daughter who was named after his partner. He breaks free and manages to kill the people holding him hostage, but it's too late for his partner. He runs outside to stop an ambulance, but it rushes past him along with many other emergency vehicles. He looks up and sees one of the buildings of the World Trade Center burning. It was 9/11.
1. Chuck vs. The Goodbye. Chuck. The finale of Chuck was so perfect in every single thing that it did. Casey hugging Chuck? That last scene on the beach? Jeffster's final performance? Greatness. Absolute greatness.

Top 12 Movies of 2012
12. American Reunion. I only saw a little bit, but give me a break. It's hard to see 12 movies in a year. So, technicalities it is!
11. The Book Professionals. I'm not sure that this counts.
10. Weekend in Thailand: Part II: Chapter IV: Book VII: The Movie: The Sequel. It's all in the title.
9. Dinosaurs. A documentary from Dinosaurs. I slept through it. It will get better because these are real movies, now.
8. Dark Shadows. Had to put it in. One of the few movies I saw. Didn't care for it. Maybe the atmosphere I was in got it higher.
7. Madagascar 3. Better than the second at least. A good way to close out the franchise.
6. The Dark Knight Rises. I technically didn't see it, but the trailer was good enough to convince me that it was going to be amazing.
5. Four Nights in October. The story of how the Red Sox came back from being down 3-0 to beat the Yanks in 2004. Loved the drama so much. It was so good.
4. Men in Black 3. Saw this one at the drive-in. Once again, better than the second. It was a good way to end the franchise. Will Smith was awesome as always and Josh Brolin was also great.
3. Think Like A Man. A pretty quality movie with Kevin Hart. Humorous, but not so much of a rom com. I liked it!
2. The Avengers. I almost put this at number one. The awesome, action, superhero film was so awesome with a great ensemble cast. No surprise it made a billion dollars plus.
1. Here Comes the Boom. It was just too amazing. Not your average Kevin James film. It had real plot structure. A good ending, a good moral, good acting. It surprised me.

In addition to this, Sports Illustrated has put together a gallery of the best sports games of the year, along with the best sports photos of 2012!
Speaking of Sports Illustrated, their cover for the year-end issue was pretty rockin'!
