Law & Order: Bodies (2003)
A strong, dark, and compelling episode - most likely the creepiest, original L&O episode ever
The creepiest, original L&O episode ever. Coster/Bruner would probably "scare the socks of all of us".
I'm not a lawyer, just a huge fan of legal procedural tv shows, and muddled my way thru two years of HS Latin. All of that to say that while I will always watch this episode (~12 times in the past 20 years), the biggest flaw with it to me is that the property was under "lock and key".
This means that Greene and Briscoe should have ran informal and formal property searches not only on Bruner, but also all of his close friends and family. He lived in a dump, so there can't be that many. But more importantly, they should run bank and CC searches on rental units, too (even after his conviction).
If a standalone property that has property taxes, or a rental unit that has monthly or annual fees, nonpayment is going to cause someone to cut a lock and/or smell the decomp.
Is it possible that the bodies are in some abandoned property? Of course. But, those would be found eventually: it's 15 bodies in a locked building, not a single body buried along the Appalachian Trail.
World's Dumbest (2008)
It's just funny, both high and low-brow
After getting whacked by a truck while bicycling last fall ('20), I had a lot of injuries and a lot of downtime.
After watching so many law & orders (all varieties), criminal minds, etc. Ad nauseam that I could quote them by heart, I found this 'old' gem by accident.
Yes, there's some simpleton humor, but there's also the comedic genius, tone, and timing of Billy Kimball, Mike Trainor, Chuck Nice, and Chelsea Peretti. Frank Stallone also adds a unique aspect to the show. They're all good! Special kudos to the unnamed voice talent who provide mock 'commentary'.
I'm glad that I found this, even if it was almost 10 years after it went off production.
Family Guy: Peter, Chris & Brian (2015)
Funny throughout
Just rewatched again, July 2020, probably for the 5th time, and still find it to be one of the funniest episodes from beginning to end, especially Stewie's sarcastic asides.
