It’s come down to this. Three years (really three hours according to Artie) of blood, sweat, and tears see the New Directions finally head towards that much-vaunted National championship. The road there is paved with random and familiar intentions. Tina makes every swap bodies so she can learn a lesson and Rachel shows Carmen why she’s a golden shining star.
But really, the two hours belonged to Noah Puckerman.
coming to cbs this fall…
The new series include ELEMENTARY, a contemporary take on the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes in New York City, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu; VEGAS, a drama inspired by a real-life sheriff and his battle with a powerful mobster for control of Las Vegas in the 1960s, starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis; MADE IN JERSEY, starring Janet Montgomery as a smart first-year lawyer with working-class roots practicing at a prestigious Manhattan law firm; and PARTNERS, a comedy about two very different life-long best friends and business partners and their significant others, starring David Krumholtz and Michael Urie.
“These new series feature a great range of bold concepts, rich characters, big stars and fresh faces,” said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. “From a new take on Sherlock Holmes to an epic battle for control of 1960s Las Vegas to a working-class point of view in a prestigious law firm, the dramas each have a unique style and sensibility. And, our new comedy PARTNERS fits perfectly with the CBS Monday night tradition of relationship comedies with a lot of heart and humor.”

Before we break out our industrial size boxes of Kleenex to discuss the season finale, let’s all let our hoots, hollers, and cheers! Private Practice has been officially renewed for season six! And per ABC’s fall schedule announcement, it will remain on Tuesday nights, at 10/9c. Let the celebrating commence…
In a few minutes, because seriously that was one heck of a depressing finale! And that “cliffhanger” is bound to ruffle a few feathers and spark some conversations. And I definitely want all of your opinions below, because I most certainly plan to share mine! But before we get to that, let’s go over how we got there…

90210 has a history of shocking finales. In the first season finale, Annie drove drunk and killed a homeless man (and basically got away with it, only serving a summer long house arrest). In the second season finale, Naomi was raped by one of her teachers. In the third season finale, Naomi told her boyfriend, Max, that she was pregnant. So did this season finale bring the shocks? If you consider someone being hit by a truck In the middle of nowhere shocking, then it completely did.
So who was the lucky-, I mean, poor cast member that was potentially killed off tonight? Read on for tonight’s season finale character breakdown!

Wilson’s alarm goes off at 6:30 am but he’s already awake and brooding. He shows up at House’s place and says he’s not doing any more chemo. So I guess that means he still has cancer. Bummer.
Wilson is happy if he has six months to a year left to live without spending the bulk of it sick in the hospital. House says if he did two weeks on two weeks off chemo he could live three or four years. Wilson doesn’t want to and House says he’s not just going to let Wilson die.
