What I'm Thanking TV For in 2010

Conan O' Brien sports a beard upon his return

Television....besides being invented (and has since upgraded into HDTV technology, with the thinnest of styles and models, making viewing so much more pleasurable!), I am so grateful to you this year for:

• The return of Conan O' Brien
• The Walking Dead
• Alex O' Loughlin
• Comedies like Raising Hope, Modern Family, Community, The Middle and Better With You.
• Michael Chiklis (read: In Awe of Michael Chiklis in No Ordinary Family)
• Great drama shows with strong female leads like Rizzoli & Isles, The Good Wife, The Big C
• Laura Linney doing her own TVshow
• Kyle Sandilands on X Factor Australia
• Matt Cardle on X Factor UK
• Patrick Jane 
• Rick Castle
• Amy Farrah Fowler
• Martha Plimpton (love, love her! My new Sue Sylvester!)
• Mondo Guerra 
• Lonestar, though aired rather briefly
• Girlpower fix on Nikita
• Finales of Lost and 24 (sad, and at the same time relieved when it ended)
• Accessories inspiration on Cougar Town
• Fashion inspiration on Pretty Little Liars
• That cute Umbrella/Singing In The Rain number on Glee

What about you? What are you most thankful for from TV this year?
