Game of Thrones' Third Season

The showrunners have said that this season is the one they have been looking forward to since they started the HBO series. We are practically breathless with anticipation.

Kevin Bacon on TV

We love the Bacon regardless of what vehicle he's starring in, but because The Following is far and away our favorite new series, it makes his presence that much more appealing.

No More Annoying Ellis on Smash

Thank you, Josh Safran, for getting rid of he who lurks in doorways. We're sure the actor who plays him, Jaime Cepero, is a lovely person. But it's time to make room for storylines that don't involve peanut allergies.

Mistakes the Girls Make on Girls

We've seen the first couple episodes of Girls' second season, and rest assured that you will continue to love it for all the same reasons you loved it before.

Downton Abbey Returns

We can't wait for more of Maggie Smith's disapproving stare, and we will give it right back to the TV screen when this happens.

The Office Series Finale

We are not ready to say goodbye to Scranton, but it will help immensely if Steve Carell comes back in some capacity. Dream sequence? Make it so, Office writers!

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Hosting the Globes

Could this hosting duo be any cooler? We want to go to there, especially if "there" is a Fey-Poehler after-Globes party. And speaking of Fey…

30 Rock Series Finale

Farewell, Liz Lemon & Co. You changed our TV lives. And we bet our bottom dollar that the series finale will be all anyone talks about for months afterward.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot

Joss Whedon, we will pretty much assemble anywhere you tell us to.

American Horror Story’s Finale

Ryan Murphy said that this season will not end with any burning questions, so we can't wait to see how Briarcliff wraps everything up.

Sherlock’s Third Season Airing and/or Starting Filming

The exact schedule is still up in the air due to Benedict Cumberbatch's and Martin Freeman's growing star power, but we hope they start filming soon enough to get new episodes before the year ends. But if that's not possible, at the very least we want to see them start shooting in 2013. We miss Sherlock and Watson big-time.

Community's Return

Finally! Bring on the study group we have missed way too much.

Fringe's Final Episode

Fans were lucky that Fox gave Fringe the opportunity to wrap up its run, and we're sure the final episode will be one of the TV highlights of the year.

How I Met Your Mother’s Maybe Series Finale

It's looking more likely that we will get a ninth season of HIMYM, but regardless of your opinion on that, the final episode of this season will surely either give us the mother's identity or at the very least a Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) wedding. We hope.

American Idol Maybe Being Less Boring

Last season was kind of a snooze from start to finish. Maybe this year the winner won't be a white guy with a guitar? Stir it up, Nicki and Mariah!

A Parks and Rec Wedding

The fate of our favorite comedy is still undecided, so if we have one wish for this last season, it's that we see Ben (Adam Scott) and Leslie (Amy Poehler) walk down the aisle. And maybe Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) officiates. And Andy (Chris Pratt) is the wedding singer. We have so many ideas!

Matt “Probing Blue Eyes” Bomer

We just want another excuse to mention and think about the White Collar stud of our dreams. He is truly a living Disney prince.

Revenge Back to Normal

We honestly believe that Emily (Emily VanCamp) will pick up the Sharpie once again and go back to crossing out those a-holes who destroyed her family.

New Episodes of The Walking Dead

The third season has truly been a killer one, so here's hoping the remaining episodes continue the awesome streak.

More Damon and Elena Sexy Time

Bring on more Vampire Diaries sex! Does that make us sound creepy? It does, but we've accepted that fact.

The Carrie Diaries Premiere

We absolutely adored the pilot for this CW prequel to Sex and the City, and we know you guys will too. We've been waiting to talk about it for so long with all of you!

The Americans

Kerri Russell as an ass-kicking Russian spy? Yes, please. An FX series that smells a bit like Homeland? More yes.

Stephen Amell’s Torso on Arrow

The CW superhero hit is truly a good show, but we always like to remind the universe that we are thankful for the wonderful abs we get to watch in action week in and week out.

Homeland’s Third Season

The Showtime drama phenomenon doesn't do cliffhangers and twists like normal TV shows. And now that Brody (Damien Lewis) is on the run, we can't wait to see what Homeland does in season three.
