What TVLine Readers Are Thankful For
castle-beckett-wedding
Alyssa Is Thankful for...
KING AND QUEEN OF THE CASTLE
"...the producers of Castle for allowing Castle and Beckett to finally get married and for not giving in to the fear of the so-called Moonlighting curse!"
viola-davis-how-to-get-away-with-murder
Alex Is Thankful for...
MURDER, SHE WROTE
"...having the majestic Viola Davis on my TV this season. Not only is she playing an incredibly complex character with fantastic dialogue, but her ability to say everything without having to speak a word is phenomenal."
peter-capaldi-doctor-who
Jules Is Thankful for...
THE DOCTOR IS IN
"...the brilliance of Peter Capaldi's incarnation of the Doctor and all the throwbacks to past Doctors he has snuck in with his own style. Not to mention all that personality Twelve has brought out of 'the impossible girl' along the way."
parks-and-recreation
Robert Is Thankful for...
PARKS AND REC'S HAPPY COUPLES
"...Parks and Rec, for seemingly being the only show, let alone only comedy, last spring that didn't tear its couples to pieces at some point. No HIMYM-style end for Leslie/Ben & Co. (hopefully)."
the-leftovers
Mete Is Thankful for...
GREAT LEFTOVERS
"...The Leftovers. The writing, directing, score and cast — don't get me started on the amazing Carrie Coon — make for the greatest new TV drama this year."
psych-series-finale
Hannah Is Thankful for...
PSYCH OUT
"...Psych getting a proper send-off for its final season. Like all the other dedicated Psych-os, I was grateful to see Santa Barbara's finest psychic detective, Shawn Spencer, get engaged to Juliet with Gus right at his side, like always, and drive off into the sunset to continue to solve crimes, even if it is in a new city."
the-flash-gotham-arrow
Anastasia Is Thankful for...
DC COMICS' TAKEOVER
"...the DC universe coming to television. Shows like Gotham, The Flash and of course the returning Arrow are what TV needs right now, and it is being delivered in the best way."
octavia-spencer-red-band-society
Priyam Is Thankful for...
RED BAND LEADER
"...the wonderful and brilliant Octavia Spencer on my TV again. If she sings again, I'd be set 'til Christmas! Also, the entire cast of Red Band Society is amazing."
parenthood
Austin Is Thankful for...
PARENTHOOD'S SWAN SONG
"...NBC renewing Parenthood for a final season. The order literally came down to the last second. But I'm even more thankful to the wonderful cast and crew. The show has been a part of my life for six years now, and I'm excited to see what will happen to the Bravermans."
netflix
Mallory Is Thankful for...
SAFETY NET(FLIX)
"...Netflix. With the mediocre crop of new offerings this fall and the so-so seasons of returning faves, it's been nice to revisit gems like Gilmore Girls and Breaking Bad."
rhea-perlman-the-mindy-project
Mike Is Thankful for...
MINDY'S MOMMY ISSUES
"...Fox adding Rhea Perlman to The Mindy Project. She is the perfect foil for Mindy and Danny's growing relationship. Here's to hoping she will become a regular and not just recurring."
mark-sheppard-supernatural
Linda Is Thankful for...
SUPERNATURAL's DEVILISH CAST MEMBER
"...Supernatural adding Mark Sheppard as a series regular. Hell will never freeze over with someone that hot running the show."
the-middle-goldbergs-blackish
Jasper Is Thankful for...
HUMP DAY AT ABC
"...ABC's Wednesday comedy line-up. The Middle is, after six seasons, still a great show. The Goldbergs is better than its first season, Modern Family is just hilarious and black-ish is the best new comedy this year. So, ABC, thanks for your comedy Wednesday!"
ncis-ziva
Lorena Is Thankful for...
NCIS' MAGIC WORD
"...NCIS finally saying the 'Z' word."
Chapter One (Pilot)
Amy Is Thankful for...
JANE'S FULL TERM
"...Jane the Virgin getting a Season 1 pick-up! It is such a wonderful, charming, well-acted show that is surprisingly grounded for a show based on a telenovela."
elizabeth-mitchell-once-upon-a-time
Shawn Is Thankful for...
A FROZEN TREAT
"...Elizabeth Mitchell returning to my TV screen as a guest star on Once Upon A Time. This woman is responsible for portraying some superb television characters in the last few years, from Lost to V to Revolution. I'm thrilled she's adding another great performance to that list as the Snow Queen. (Not to mention this season of OUAT is just super fun.)"
marry-me-a-to-z-selfie
Bianca Is Thankful for...
SMALL-SCREEN ROMANCE
"...the rom-com epidemic on TV, with the always-amazing The Mindy Project and the newbies Marry Me, A to Z, Selfie and Manhattan Love Story. Yes, some of them were already axed, but totally worth the ride!"
american-horror-story-freak-show
Rashad Is Thankful for...
FX'S FREAK SHOW
"...American Horror Story: Freak Show. Once again, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have blessed me with another brilliant, incredible and very creepy season of a show that I've been obsessed with since Season 1. Only a show like AHS can make me feel sorry for an absolutely terrifying, serial-killing clown."
alicia-florrick-the-good-wife
Sian Is Thankful for...
THE GOOD WIFE'S LEADING LADY
"...Alicia Florrick's continued presence on my screen. Her character development, her sass and her brains: What more could a Good Wife fan want?"
juliette-avery-nashville
Sarah Is Thankful for...
NASHVILLE'S BABY BLUES
"I'm thankful for Juliette and Avery and their pregnancy storyline on Nashville. On a show that has embraced several over-the-top storylines, Juliette and Avery manage to be the most realistically developed aspect of the show. Hayden Panettiere and Jonathan Jackson continue to surprise viewers as well-paired acting partners with believable chemistry."
