Glee's Season 5 Finale (Fox)

When to Watch: Tuesday, May 13 at 8 p.m.
What to Expect:
There has been plenty of news surrounding this finale. First we discovered that Heather Morris' Brittany would be coming back, but then news broke that Naya Rivera's character, Santana Lopez, has been written out of the finale. Despite the whirlwind of who's in and who's out, the season five finale will definitely feature a huge twist. Creator Ryan Murphy teases, "Things are sort of building to a head in episode twenty, a sort of big, natural…I would say explosion is too harsh of a word, but something big happens and then the final season is the aftermath of that."

The Good Wife's Sure-to-be-Shocking Finale (CBS)

When to Watch: Sunday, May 18 at 9 p.m.
What to Expect:
Remember how The Good Wife's season four ended with Alicia opening the door and saying, "I'm in," to Cary? Expect a similar ending in terms of a cliffhanger, leaving fans to wonder what will happen to their favorite characters when the beloved drama returns for a sixth season in the fall. Plus, Zach graduates and his grandmothers, Veronica (Stockard Channing) and Jackie (Mary Beth Peil) are put in charge of his party. Sounds like the perfect recipe for conflict!

When to Watch: Monday, May 19 at 9:30
What to Expect: Andi Dorfman became a household name earlier this year when the famously called out The Bachelor's Juan Pablo Galavis on his douchey, "es okay" behavior.  Now, it's Andi's turn to find love on ABC's all-new season of The Bachelorette and we have a feeling she's not going to hold anything back. We're also curious to see how producers will feature suitor Eric Hill after his tragic death in April from a paragliding accident.

Words cannot describe how elated we are to see Maya Rudolph back on our TV screens in all her SNL-inspired glory.

Some of Rudolph's A-list BFFs, including Andy Samberg, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, Craig Robinson and Sean Hayes, will be stopping by to help the Bridesmaids' star snag as many laughs as possible (Psshh!

The Normal Heart HBO

When to Watch: Sunday, May 25 at 9 p.m.
What to Expect:
HBO's newest small screen film is definitely worthy of a big screen applause. Here's what you ned to know: Mark Ruffalo stars as Ned Weeks, the gay writer who works to bring awareness to the then-little-known disease rapidly affecting the LGBT community. Matt Bomer stars as his lover and we're completely star-struck over the rest of this A-list cast, which includes Julia Roberts, Taylor Kitsch and Jim Parsons.

Petals in the Wind (Lifetime)

When to Watch: Monday, May 26 at 9 p.m.
What to Expect:
It's going to be one hell of a family reunion on Monday, May 26 in Lifetime's highly anticipated follow up to Flowers in the Attic, their uber-successful (and cheese-tastic!) adaptation of V.C. Andrews' novel. 10 years have gone by and you can bet your poisoned donuts that Cathy and Christopher are still not over the damage done by their mother and grandmother (played to soapy perfection by Heather Graham and Ellen Burstyn). (Alas, Kiernan Shipka is not returning as Rose McIver [OUAT's Tinkerbell] takes over the role of Cathy.)

I Wanna Marry Harry (FOX)

When to Watch: Tuesday, May 27 at 8 p.m.
What to Expect:
This new Fox reality series sounds absolutely off-the-walls ridiculous—so, naturally, we're already obsessed. I Wanna Marry Harry is a dating competition with a huge, red-headed twist: 12 American girls travel to a gorgeous English country house and are lead to believe that Prince Harry (yes, THE Prince Harry) is looking to choose one of them as his next bride-to-be. Unfortunately, the quest for the (fake) tiara must by blinding these girls' eyes because this young lad, named Matt Hicks, is not the real deal. So what happens when the ladies discover the truth? We can't wait to find out!
