EW.com: 26 Great TV Season Finales

Here are the shows that I watch:

Mad Men

Ch-ch-ch-changes, Season 3

We'd gotten so comfy in the offices of Sterling Cooper that the finale decision to form a breakaway agency, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, felt downright revolutionary. Combine it with Don and Betty separating, and it was clear that the future of every main character was suddenly unclear. —KT

Alias

Two Years Gone, Season 2
J.J. Abrams gets props for his jaw-dropping cliff-hangers on Lost, but he perfected the art of the season-ending mind blitz on the less popular (but equally as compelling) Alias. In the final act of season 2, spy girl Syd's world gets rocked: Her best bud Will might be dead, her best girl Francie is actually an evil clone, and there's the small matter of two missing years. Not to mention a smokin' hot Vaughn sporting a mysterious wedding band. You'll be hit so hard with the Alias title card it'll give you whiplash. —GH

BuddyTV: TV's 100 Sexiest Women of 2010

Here's the full list. Thought Olivia Wilde should be way higher up the list. And Jennifer Carpenter as Debra Morgan should be there somewhere!

#1 Yvonne Strahovski, Chuck – As Sarah Walker

#3 Christina Hendricks, Mad Men – As Joan Harris

#5 Kaley Cuoco, The Big Bang Theory – As Penny

E!'s Top 10 TV Dramas of 2010

The full list is here.

Kinda surprised that Mad Men is only 10th and Grey's Anatomy is higher on the list (#7). Dexter should be higher though because I absolutely think that this season is just amazing!

Top TV Series of the Past 20 Years

The IMDb Editors' Top TV Series list is based upon the overall importance, impact and popularity these television shows have enjoyed for the past 20 years. Note that "Top" does not mean "Best" and after some discussion and enjoying a few microwaveable dinners with compartmentalized courses, we came up with the following rankings.

Rolling Stone goes mad for 'Mad Men'

While just about everyone knows who they are now, there was a time when the entire cast of “Mad Men” were relative unknowns.

Rolling Stone talks to the actors about that rise from obscurity and delves into the hotness that is the AMC critically acclaimed show in a new “Mad Men” cover story due to hit the stands on September 1.

Accompanied by a set of black and white, behind the scenes photos, the article tells the tale of the three seasons of the smash show which made celebrities out of its stars. "If Rob Lowe had been cast in the part, it would have been different," Jon Hamm, who plays Don Draper, told the magazine. "There was no back story with me."

Some of the cast still manage to pull off anonymity despite the popularity of the Emmy-winning show.

"One of my few vanities is going to a party and people not realizing I'm the person they saw in ‘Mad Men,’” said Vincent Kartheiser who plays Pete Campbell.

The “Mad Men” cover story joins just one of several television shows to recently grace the cover of Rolling Stone including a recent story about the stripped-down cast of another hit cable television drama, “True Blood.”

18 Sharp-Dressed Men

"Mad Men" makes us long for a time before Casual Fridays; we pick TV guys whose dapper duds deliver.

Summer TV

It hasn't quite started yet but we already have a couple episodes of Burn Notice and White Collar. Haven't really downloaded them yet but here's what I'm excited about:

Mad Men

So there's this channel that usually only shows movies--classic movies--and suddenly it's showing a TV show. A good one at that, too. Mad Men was rejected by HBO and then Showtime and it finally landed on AMC. I didn't even know this channel exists.

It won all these awards last season and I was just so upset that it beat my then favorite House! Not saying that I don't love House anymore (I mean, how could I ever not love Dr. Gregory House?!) but with that, and then Dexter and now this, I just have so many obsessions right now! These three are like the current top drama series. They're all nominated for the 2010 Golden Globes and I believe I would be fine if any of the three wins it.

Golden Globe Nominations

You can see the complete list here.

Last year, I knew who I wanted to win, Hugh Laurie for Best Actor Drama and House for Best TV Series Drama. But neither won, with Best Series going to Mad Men. And in the course of the year I have been hooked on Dexter and Mad Men. All three shows are nominated for Best Television Series, Drama, and their lead actors, Hugh Laurie (House), Michael C Hall (Dexter) and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) are all nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama. I can't decide who to root for!

I mean, how could you not love House?! Right now I can't stop thinking about Mad Men and how cool Don Draper is and what gentlemen they were back in the 60s... I just watched Dexter's season 4 finale and it's just plain amazing.

I do believe that Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dex's sister Debra on the show, deserves a nod. She's been brilliant since the first season but has never been recognized! Hopefully, next year people realize how good she is...

I kinda want Hugh Laurie to win because this is his sixth season and he's been performing well every single year. For the show, I want Dexter to win because it's just awesome! Not saying that the others aren't, but they definitely deserve to win something! Mad Men has had an amazing year last year so it's time for the others to win... (and for some reason I feel like all my favorites will get snubbed and some random show will win).
