We've been frustrated with this last season, but there was a time when we found Chuck quite charming, so much so that we actually looked forward to each new episode. Now we're mostly glad that the show is finally ending. Here's what we've missed about the series, and what we won't once it's gone.

It's a new season of the addictive MTV reality-competition series The Challenge, and while some installments falter because there just isn't enough in-fighting and drama, Battle of the Exes doesn't look like it will have that problem. Jam-packed with personal chaos, hard challenges and beautiful scenery, the show has always mixed the best elements of The Amazing Race, Survivor and Bachelor Pad together. But we have particularly high hopes for this Battle after seeing the premiere. Here's why:

Well, whattaya ya know? With only three installments left, Pan Am manages to pull itself out of its death spiral and comes up with an episode that's not half-bad. It's probably too little too late at this point, but if "New Frontiers" ends up being the last episode to air (ABC has two more in its hanger, but no airdates have been announced), at least it ends the series on a decent note.

I've really been enjoying this season of Parenthood, and last night's "Road Trip" was an exceptionally great episode. Packing up the Braverman family at the beginning of the second half of the season, throwing them out of their comfort zones -- and, in a few cases, slightly stale story arcs -- and putting Zeek on edge about his stone-cold mother (played well by Frances Sternhagen) made for a terrific hour of network dramedy. The ending was expectedly sweet and everything, but the best parts of "Road Trip" happened before the heartwarming country drive home:

Now that everyone's finished high school, the 90210 writers had to find ways to keep the gang back together... so Annie's cash to go to the East coast fell through, Dixon decided to forgo college to pursue his music career, Liam went off to pretend like he was part of The Deadliest Catch and Navid is running a decidedly non-pornographic version of his father's film studio. But while many of them are involved in higher education, they seem to have all taken a healthy dose of stupid juice since they left West Beverly, as almost everyone has accidentally found themselves in some ridiculous situations. When guest star Kellie Pickler is playing a version of herself and seems like the show's most intelligent character... you know you've got problems. Here's what's going on:

In last night's episode, "In Havoc and In Heat," Zoe (who we're supposed to buy as a promising cardiothoracic surgeon from New York, and not an insufferable girly-girl) decides that she's going to let loose and have a one-night stand with Wade -- a man with whom she had a brief tongue-tangle while she was covered in mud, drunk and in the front seat of his car... on the day she met him. But instead of just inviting Wade over for a drink to beat the heat, she has to be all freaking weird about it and turn into one of those rom-com characters who tries on a million outfits in front of a mirror. Who is she supposed to be, Katherine Heigl or Kate Hudson? Will she jump on her bed in her underwear next week? There were a lot of preposterous moments in the episode (Zoe later falling off the bar stool was just one of them) that made us wince, but this particular scene summed up precisely everything that is wrong with her character. Now keep in mind, this is a woman who wears short shorts on a regular basis and sports slinky designer dresses and five-inch heels to work. And she's doing this for a guy who has made it pretty clear that he'd like to bang her whenever she wants. Here's how the entire sequence broke down:

Now that The Playboy Club has been axed, we'll probably never find out if Nick Dalton wins whatever political race he was gaming for, or if that cute little lesbian bunny will ever make out with Maureen, or how long it will take before the mob boss's body turn ups. But honestly, aside from maybe the potential lesbian smooching, we really don't care about any those things at all. In fact, the mysteries were never all that engaging, which might be one reason this show has become fall's first casualty. There are, however, a few things we will miss. Five, to be exact.

This show ended last season by leaving Pete on the floor after a heart attack (stroke? aneurysm? I'm not a doctor, so what do I know?), while his infant son looked on helplessly and his self-involved wife went off on her book tour. The finale also featured Sam and Addison getting back together for some sexy times, ignoring the fact that the bigger issues in their life are still totally unresolved, and Little Shepherd (not quite as awesome as Little Grey) heading to a bar because drinking is a totally great idea for a former drug addict.

I'm not sure how many there are of us left, but I know I can't be the only person who has faithfully watched Weeds from day one up until last night's season -- and possibly series, if Showtime doesn't renew -- finale. Even if you haven't seen the series completely through, the fact that you made it through this season is frankly pretty impressive. It's had its high points (everything with Pouncy House, Shane's story arc, shreds of Andy growing up, even some Doug moments) and serious lows (Nancy never ever changing ever, Silas constantly pouting, the whole Stevie thing, as if we're supposed to give a shit), but if what we saw in the final moment of "Do Her/Don't Do Her" truly was the close to seven long seasons of seeing the rise and fall and rise and fall and several more rounds of both of Nancy Botwin... well then I would be sorely disappointed, for more reasons than one.

Shows like Doctor Who and Quantum Leap are entirely based on the premise that they send their lead characters all throughout various points in time. Terra Nova isn't jumping all over the place, but instead just sends a handful of people 85 million years back, in some sort of alternate timeline, in order to save a few members of mankind. While they seemingly can't save the folks in our existence who can't see the sun, or breathe on their own or eat oranges or have more than two children without getting arrested, they do have a plan on saving humans as a race by sending them through a portal back 85 million years to create a new society. Or something. We're a little fuzzy on the details.
