  2. "The Sopranos": When Dr. Melfi shows Tony her penis and admits to love affairs with Paulie, Phil, Carmella, Carmine and Meadow, Tony must choose: Whack them all or pursue his dream by moving to Nebraska and starting anew as a Pilates instructor.

  3. "The Tudors": Will Henry VIII marry Anne Boleyn?!?

  4. "Masterpiece Theatre": The countess lays stricken with a mysterious ailment, and her only hope is if you, the viewer, demonstrate your support for public television by calling one of our operators with your pledge right now!

  5. "Law & Order": After weathering the blistering media inquisition brought on by Jack McCoy's public-court masturbation breakdown, D.A. Arthur Branch decides the only way to fix this Godforsaken country is to run for president in 2008!

  6. "The View": In a down-and-dirty chick fight, Elisabeth Hasselbeck yanks on Rosie O'Donnell's hair, which comes off, along with a mask, and reveals... Mexican wrestler El Santo!

  7. "The King of Queens": Will Doug's gender-reassignment surgery force a title change?

  8. "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?": Eleventh-hour negotiations to line up a certain celebrity contestant for next season's opener hinge on White House insistence on pre-screening the questions.

  9. "CSI Miami": Tired of the constant preening and posing in the forensics lab, city officials threaten to replace all the colored mood lighting with plain old fluorescent bulbs.

  10. "Grey's Anatomy": Trouble lurks when Yang's cousin Oliver, A.K.A. Dr. McSleezy, starts hitting on Meredith.

  11. "House": Dr. House gives up medicine to pursue a career in figure skating. When his coach has an embolism on the tour bus, House must perform delicate brain surgery with Michelle Kwan's left skate as a scalpel.

  12. "Lost": The mysterious treetop-dwelling assailant responsible for a recent rash of skull fractures and head traumas is revealed in the final shot -- but could it really be the coconut-wielding ghost of Bob Denver?

  13. "24": With only one hour left, Jack Bauer must decide between saving humanity and watching "60 Minutes."

  14. "Heroes": Safe in his cubicle, Hiro awakens suddenly from the most amazing dream, screaming, "No! We're supposed to *shave* the cheerleader!"; meanwhile, his evil coworkers conspire to slip more acid into his Mountain Dew.

  15. "I Love Lucy": Tension mounts when Ricky comes home with a double bed.

  16. "COPS": Sparks fly when officers Lilith Meyerowitz and Lashonda Hairston pull over the obviously inebriated Mel Gibson, Michael Richards and Don Imus.

    and the Number 1 Worst TV Season-Ending Cliffhanger...

  17. "Baywatch": Panicked cries of "Help! Save me!" are ignored inside the guard station as a drunken David Hasselhoff tries to eat a hamburger off the floor.
