    I got this off of the EW website; thought it might be fun to do here. If someone wants to add a category, feel free. These pertain to the finale episodes only:

    Best Death: Red John in The Mentalist
    Most Welcome Exit for an Unloved Character: Nate Haskell in CSI
    Best Overall Ending to an Otherwise Crappy Season: Desperate Housewives
    Worst Overall Ending to an Otherwise Solid Season: CSI:
    Best Romantic Cliffhanger: How I Met Your Mother (Barney's wedding)
    Best Non-Romantic Cliffhanger: House
    Best Kiss: The Good Wife (Alicia and Will)
    Best Fight (Verbal or Physical): Community (paintball wars)
    Top Tissue Moment (Single tear or sobfest): Bones (the delivery of Angela's and Hodgen's baby, and B&B baby drama)
    Single Most Clever Twist: Fringe (WTF, Peter never existed?)
    Single Weakest Twist: Castle (I liked the episode, but we all know Beckett won't die)
    Funniest Half Hour (or hour, if supersized): Parks and Recreation
    Single Funniest Moment: Parks & Recreation (Ron Swanson's singed facial hair.)
    Most Disturbing Image: House driving into Cuddy's house
    Most Likely to Earn Someone an Emmy (list show and actor): Justified/Timothy Olyphant or Margo Martindale.


    Another option is to list your favorite finales. Here's my top 5:

    I don't know what they mean by the Season Pass being in Jeopardy for Supernatural, we have quite a cult following of sorts and it's already been confirmed that the show is returning for a 7th season.

    I think though, my favorite show this season was Bones, except for the spin-off episode, it was just plain stupid and that show will not go anywhere.

    Yeah sadly those two categories suit the CSI season finale pretty well

    Desperate Housewives, I like the show, and next season I'm curious to see what Tom and Lynette's divorce brings, but I think the show needs to think about wrapping things up

    For me it was CSI always the top of the line, and the best crime drama on TV. The cumulation of the whole season was the finale. So gripping and remarkable and intense. "Blue Bloods" was also great, and L&O. I don't watch some of the other ones so don't have an opinion:confused:

    I think the downfall for CSI is having everything revolve around Ray. There's other characters there who could have a much better storyline written about them. Don't get me wrong I like Ray, but I don't want the whole show to be all about him and that's how I feel like it's been going.
