Each year, television shows deliver memorable moments and scenes that get viewers talking, but 2025 felt particularly electric.
Several series, delayed by the Hollywood strikes, made their long-awaited return, and new, exciting shows also made their debut. But it was also a year that saw newsmaking events unfold involving TV personalities — unprecedented is the appropriate term here.
While it’s hard to capture every watercooler moment, here are some of the year’s most unforgettable TV moments, according to Times staff.
Griffin Mill off his head in 'The Studio'
(Season 1, Episode 9 and 10) The two-episode conclusion to Seth Rogen's cockeyed salute to Hollywood on Apple TV transports the entire cast to CinemaCon, a Las Vegas convention, where Continental Studios is scheduled to present its upcoming slate to an audience of theater owners.
The news that the 100-year-old studio might be absorbed by Amazon—prescient shades of Warner Bros. and Netflix-threatens their jobs, a feeling amplified by a crippling over-consumption of drugs, intentional or inadvertent, and launches the Continental team into a farcical frenzy set at a Mack Sennett pace. The farceurs include Rogen, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Catherine O’Hara and, as themselves, Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz; each is brilliant.
