This show is totally insane. I mean that in the best possible way, even though I sound like I'm a crazy person when I try and describe the plot of a given episode (or worse, the plot of the books) to someone. They always look at me strangely and then step away quietly. But that doesn't diminish my love for this cuckoo-bananas series.

Okay, I'll admit that this season hasn't been the greatest in Project Runway history. Far from it, in fact. But I'm still curious to see how it all goes down tonight. Leading up to the final runway show, it's just as hard to judge how things are going to turn out as it is in any given episode -- until the dresses get onto the runway, you never know what they'll look like or how they'll be received. (Although sometimes you can get an idea.)

The least-anticipated season finale of Desperate Housewives ever is here at last. This season has taught us that bringing back old beloved characters from earlier seasons doesn't always bring the best out of a show. It was a great surprise to see the return of Paul Young, an old enemy to Wysteria Lane, but did they do anything clever with it? They repeatedly recycled plot lines we've seen before: Paul Young's wife shoots herself, Felicia is stirring up trouble in Paul's life, Susan Mayer is a victim (this time with a kidney problems), Gaby ticks off Carlos, and Lynette can't keep her man happy. Can this show's season finale save what might be its weakest season?

It's a two-hour Smallville finale, which means it's two, two, TWO times the awfulness! Okay, so maybe some of the episodes this season have been halfway decent, but it's really not hard to deliver when people's expectations are so low. After all, this show has been disappointing people for ten years -- it's gonna pleasantly surprise them at least once or twice. But those ten years have all built up to this one episode, and a big chunk of it is gonna be about a wedding we've all known was coming for at least half that time. How can it possibly fail to let everyone down?

It's fight night! We mean it this time! After twelve episodes of build-up, in which we got one real boxing match and a cage fight, we're finally getting the main event we've been promised all season. Patrick "Lights" Leary and "Death Row" Reynolds will get in the ring together to settle the question of who's the Heavyweight Champion once and for all. And this time they can't put it off any more!

While we will admit to being slightly biased against some of the characters on this show this season (which Erin's mother totally called us out on), I have to say that the right two women went home last week. Jennifer occasionally had some very good shots, but she didn't always know what to do with herself, and ditto Erin, who also happened to not be particularly nice. Remember her shoving people in the Wal-Mart race?

So, NYC Prep's already over. Time flies when you're harshly judging children and questioning PC's sexuality, I guess. Tonight's the season finale, and from what I gather we'll be seeing Jessie's Operation Smile fashion show -- you know, just one of the many fashion shows everybody's "always trying to get [her] to model" for. Yes, I know. Hilarious.

I'll admit, it took a little bit of the fun out of the two-part season finale to learn that it was a producer-mandated rehash of last season's most popular episode, and that it would be split into two parts and run in separate weeks, but after the first installment, I am back on board with "The Paintball Episode Part II: A Fistful of Paintballs." Not only did it up the ante from the last game, it seamlessly interwove the group's fractious family dynamic, bringing the season-long dickitude of Pierce Hawthorne to a splattery head. ...That came out sounding dirtier than I intended.

Here it is, the first week of May sweeps, and the fifth season of 30 Rock is already over. This season was pretty good, wasn't it? Sure, it wasn't Season 2, but it certainly wasn't Season 4. Liz wasn't quite as much of a total slob. Jack's existential crises made some sense. And thanks to Tracy being gone, we even got some pretty awesome Pete stories in. In fact, the season was good enough to make most of us feel a little sad every time Alec Baldwin tried to convince us 30 Rock was going to end.

Well, the first season of the U.S. adaptation of Being Human is almost over, and it seems to be a resounding success. The second season has been greenlit, it wasn't a desecration of the original, and all of the main characters are still alive. Right? The season finale is tonight, and I'm assuming none of the three main characters is going to die. Well, aside from the two who are already dead.
