50 TV series' best and worst episodes of 2013

Best Episode: ''Part Like The Red Sea'' (season 23, episode 9)
Annie Barrett: ''Nicole would never have thought to go look at Leo's successful angklung — she's a good person, doncha know? — it was only after an evil person's screamed suggestion corrupted her that she got the idea to run over and try to peek at Leo's instrument. God's Gift chases Leo in circles around a very small, crowded area full of children as her voiceover reminds viewers, 'We are running this race in an honest way. It is important that our children see that we set a good example for them.'''

Worst Episode: ''Get Our Groove On'' (season 23, episode 5, shown)
Annie Barrett: ''Brandon and Adam know they're doomed…but they fight through it anyway, eventually easing into the hamminess required for cash payment. 'Lookit, two weirdos!' is my favorite beckoning call of the whole season. 'Fifty zloty gets you a kiss!'''

'Reality Bites' TV series: Your fantasy cast?

OK, OK. We know it’s kind of sacrilege to even think about remaking Reality Bites. But Ben Stiller directed it and Helen Childress wrote it and they’re developing the potential new series at NBC, so for a moment let’s hope for the best. And… make a few suggestions for who should play the slacker crew so iconically embodied by the original cast. Here are our picks, tell us yours in the comments:

Lelaina Pierce (Winona Ryder): Shailene Woodley – She’s kinda artsy, she’s done TV, she’s the latest indie and crossover it girl. Would be fun to see her wield a camcorder, plus she’d look great as a doily.

Troy Dyer (Ethan Hawke): Penn Badgley – He’s brooding, he’s dark and mysterious AND he’s about to film a movie with the original Troy Dyer, Ethan Hawke. Perhaps he’s already getting tips on how not to steal a Snickers bar.

Vickie Miner (Janeane Garafolo): Rebel Wilson – Can’t you just hear her screaming “Welcome to the Maxi Pad!”? Enough said.

Sammy Gray (Steve Zahn): Danny Pudi – The Community star certainly has the comedy chops to pull off Vickie’s self-deprecating gay best friend. Plus his pop culture knowledge from playing Abed Nadir is beyond, perfect for the movie’s quick quotable comebacks and fast talking.

Michael Grates (Ben Stiller): Josh Gad – He’s used to playing characters who get the short end of the stick (see: Steve Wozniak, Arnold Cunningham) but always with a lot of heart. If I’m being honest, I was aTroy girl in the 90s, but watching it again, Michael really shoulda come out looking better in this. I’m hoping he gets another shot in the TV show.

20 best TV series finales ever

20. FRIENDS
(1994-2004)

After ten years of coffee-house meetings, on-and-off romances, and memories both hilarious and heartwarming, the series wrapped up with fans feeling a sense of closure. Ross and Rachel were in it for good, Monica and Chandler had twins, Phoebe was happily married to Mike, and Joey had a new chick and a duck. With new sets of goals all around, the characters seemed ready to move on with their lives, but the same can't be said for us. Much like Monica's purple-walled apartment in the final scene, we will always be a little empty without our Friends. —Sandra Gonzalez

Farmiga cast in 'Psycho' series

Vera Farmiga has been cast as Mrs. Bates in A&E's Vera Farmiga has been cast as Mrs. Bates in A&E's "Bates Motel.""The Departed" actress Vera Farmiga has been cast in A&E's "Bates Motel""Bates Motel" is a prequel to the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock filmMrs. Bates is an abusive character who twists her son into a serial killer of women

(EW.com) -- "The Departed" actress Vera Farmiga has been cast as one of the most notorious mothers in movie history.

She joins A&E's "Bates Motel," a prequel to the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film.

"[Farmiga] is a phenomenal talent who has demonstrated incredible range and intelligence in a number of landmark film roles, and we couldn't be more excited to have her join our project," executive producer Carlton Cuse said.

Robin Roberts' 'GMA' med leave to begin

The role's official description downplays Mrs. Bates' abusive character, who twists her son into a serial killer of women: "Mother of young Norman Bates. She's complicated, passionate, and compelling, Norma Louise is a smart, multidimensional character who is always capable of surprising us."

The role of Norman hasn't yet been cast. (Never noticed this before, the similarity of their names -- Norma and Norman Bates -- nice).
