The Sopranos
The fifth season finally lived up to the hype, with great episodes (most of them) and polarizing episodes ("Test Dream"). But the highlight (in the sense of payoff, not in the sense of event that viewers were psyched about) came with Adriana's death in the penultimate episode. For two seasons, viewers have watched Adriana alternately cooperate and battle with the Feds, knowing in their hearts that it wouldn't lead to anything good, yet hoping that somehow Ade could make it out alive. The excellent acting, writing, and directing that made the show a favorite of critics and viewers alike all came together in "Long Term Parking," when Silvio took Adriana to her final destination. -- Kim
Survivor
It's easier to pick out low points than high points from two rounds of Survivor that both featured Rupert, one of which also featured the inexplicably heavily promoted Jon Dalton, who hasn't figured out yet that no one cared about him twelve seconds after he strolled off the show. But the highlight of the entire year probably came at the All-Star reunion special, and didn't involve either of these guys. As grotesquely irritating as Lex's self-aggrandizing poseur integrity nonsense became over the course of the All-Star season, that's how satisfying it was to see everyone from Jeff Probst to Richard Hatch to Rob Mariano himself systematically poke holes in Lex's inherently Swiss-cheese-y logic until it was obvious that not only were Lex's fifteen minutes of fame over, but he had gone from being a relatively well-liked player to one of the biggest jackasses the game has ever known. It's kind of sad, really. -- Miss Alli

The West Wing
It was that one where all the Republicans were stupid. That was awesome. -- Miss Alli
Wonderfalls
Look, it got cancelled. It wasn't your fault; it was the fault of everyone you've ever loved. I guess this means it's officially time for you to stop going outside. Only the internet understands you. You've been saying it all along, but now you finally have proof. -- Pamie
