2010's Best Episodes: Vampire Diaries' Killer Transformation and Betty White's Dusty Muffin

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:01 PM PST

It was a great year for TV, which made it very difficult to choose the top 25 episodes of 2010. Recalling and, in some cases, rewatching the stand-out moments was a holiday treat.

Here's the third batch of TVGuide.com's weeklong countdown of the year's best episodes. (Catch up first with Episodes 25-21 and Episodes 20-16.)
