Tis the season, and therefore I apologize for posting this so late. But as I see, Betty had a hectic holiday, too. There is a big scare in the Suarez family and things go crazy. Also, Daniel is trying to get the company under control, but Cal seems to be in control, so Marc is trying to help Daniel. Let’s get started…shall we?

Yankees Player to Guest Star on HIMYM

Derek Jeter is dating Friday Night Lights Minka Kelly.

A-Rod is (supposedly) dating Kate Hudson.

So who is coming to How I Met Your Mother?

Yankees outfielder and sometimes first baseman Nick Swisher, who is dating actress Joanna Garcia, last seen in Gossip Girl. He will star in the Feb. 1 episode as himself, cramping Barney’s style at the bar when the girls swoon over Swisher instead of Barney.

So, if you could have your favorite athlete guest on your favorite show, who would it be and on what show?

Dexter: “My Dark Passenger has done this to me. It’s ruining my life.”
Harry: “It is your life”
Dexter: “I don’t want it to be. I don’t want it.”

Wow. In a season that felt like a slow simmer, things certainly boiled over with last night’s, game-changing, code-breaking, and, ultimately, heartbreaking season finale. Did you see that ending coming?

NBC unveiled “Mission: Chuck Me Out,” (www.chuckmeout.com) a new social media game designed to reward fans who help spread the word about the network’s returning series “Chuck” by using popular social networking sites.

The grand-prize winner of the new “Chuck” online game will have a photo of themselves featured in an upcoming episode as part of a Chuck “flash” — along with additional prizes.

“The fans of ‘Chuck’ have been incredibly passionate and supportive of the show. We want to reward this loyalty and activate further social conversation about the incredible new season. This innovative promotion is an excellent way to accomplish both objectives,” said Adam Stotsky, President, NBC Entertainment Marketing.

Dear TV Claus,

I am not asking for much, but if you could:

1. Please have Diane Delano (as Bobbi Glass) appear on Glee and come up against Sue Sylvester. That would be so awesome!

2. We really need Henry to come back to Ugly Betty and sweep her off her feet.

3. Have Booth and Bones realize they love each other, already!

“Do you believe in miracles? YES!!” Those are the famous words spoken by Al Michaels on February 22, 1980, the night of the USA’s watershed Olympic hockey victory over the USSR . It was also the night of the murder of Tommy Flanagan, a promising young player for the Fishtown Dock Rats, whose death is the subject of this week’s Cold Case. Will the backdrop of the greatest moment in sports history and the music of Bob Seger combine for a winner of an episode? Read on to find out!

Dear TV Claus,

Since I’ve NEVER written a letter to any form of gift-giving being, I would like nothing more than my first letter to be taken into consideration…

1. Please put Neil Patrick Harris on the following Television Shows besides How I Met Your Mother: Desperate Housewives, Big Bang Theory, The Biggest Loser, Law and Order: SVU, Community, 30 Rock, Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, and The Soup…I would love to watch him in every show I watch.

2. Never break off Meredith and Derek on Grey’s…I’m sick of the back and forth, and if you break them up again, I may finally lose interest.

3. Please beat Carlos up on Desperate Housewives for being such a d*ck to Lynette…the only woman on the show that never lost track of who she was.

Two guys are out trying to drum up voter registration, and one of them ends up dead with the word “Fed” written on his chest, not too far from the Federal Reserve Bank. It’s as obvious as obvious gets. Detectives Lupo and Bernard are not impressed.
