Episodes, one of television’s most underrated series, returns Sunday for Season 4 – and tonight, Showtime is providing a public service of sorts by repeating the entirety of Season 3 in a nine-episode marathon, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Included in here somewhere (I won’t say where, exactly, because it should be served up as a surprise) is what I consider the funniest TV moment of 2014 – and, actually, for the last several years. One hint: It happens during a couples therapy session with married but separated TV writers Beverly and Sean (Tamsin Greig, Stephen Mangan), whose marriage has fractured while working in the U.S. on an American adaptation, starring Matt LeBlanc, of their British sitcom For my full review of the new season opener of Episodes, listen today to NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, or, starting later this afternoon, visit the Fresh Air website.
