Nathan Fillion stars in 'Castle.'

Best Ending We Saw Coming a Mile Away: Just how hot was Will and Alicia鈥檚 longer-then-expected elevator ride on Tuesday鈥檚 season finale of THE GOOD WIFE? So hot, that not even the could ruin what may have in fact have been the most satisfying season ender of 2011.

Best Ending We Didn鈥檛 See Coming: Note to Showrunners not willing to put their show鈥檚 central couple together for fear of diluting viewer interest. Keep delivering edge-of-your-seat episodes like Andrew Marlowe鈥檚 marvellous CASTLE season ender and you won鈥檛 be hearing a peep from us. Seriously. Still reeling.

Biggest Shocker: That we were too busy concentrating on whether or not 叠翱狈贰厂鈥 Hart Hanson would have the cajones to finally put Booth and Brennan together that it didn鈥檛 even occur to us that he would write Emily Deschanel鈥檚 real-life pregnancy into the show!

Biggest Shocker, Daytime Division: Two of the most complained-about (and seemingly entrenched) soap writers in recent memory were ousted. In a one-two punch, GENERAL HOSPITAL announced that Mob-lovin鈥 scribe Bob Guza was out, and a day later, DAYS OF OUR LIVES said that RoboRafe creator Dena Higley had also been replaced!

Best Performance By A Former Brat Packer: While many speculate that Catherine Tate will be the new OFFICE boss come fall, we loved the idea of James Spader鈥檚 off-kilter alter ego getting the top slot.

Biggest Regret: Not tuning into Thursday鈥檚 two-part season finale of THE MENTALIST, which based entirely on our Twitter feed鈥檚 reaction toRed John鈥檚 reveal will be something that we hope to revisit sometime in the not-to-distant future.

Oddest Story: In a span of a few days, former REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY star Danielle Staub went from working as a full-on stripper to seeking help from reality-star shrink Dr. Drew.

Ploy Most Likely To Work On Our Own Contributor, CT: Upon learning that The CW would be offering a Bingo-like came called CWingo as a way to get viewers to watch ads, CT dashed out to buy himself a series of multi-colored blotters.

Least Shocking Development: THE BACHELORETTE鈥檚 Ashley Herbert claims to be 鈥渂lown away鈥 by the hotties vying for her attention. Because the show is so well known for casting unattractive dudes.

Most Delusional: MAD MEN creator Matthew Weiner 鈥 who says such 60鈥檚-themed shows as THE PLAYBOY CLUB and PAN AM owe their pick-ups to his show 鈥 seems to think he鈥檚 the first person to have set a show during that decade.coughAMERICANDREAMScoughw

Biggest Letdown: Quick! What鈥檚 the only thing more disappointing than HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER鈥檚 season finale, which punctuated an incredibly uneven season with a predictable pregnancy for Marshall and Lily coupled with the not-so-shocking reveal that Barney was in fact the man about to walk down the aisle? How about the almost unforgivable fact that not only did we not get a clue to who the titular mother is, but if fans want one, they鈥檒l have to shell out hard earned cash for it! Said co-creator Craig Thomas in an interview with, 鈥溾淭here鈥檚 an exclusive clue in the season 6 DVD that will be released in September鈥 There鈥檚 a longer version of a scene from last night鈥檚 finale on the DVD that gives you a little more information about the actual moment Ted meets the mother. That鈥檚 DVD only. I realize I sound like a salesman saying that. It鈥檚 just true.鈥
