This category might as well be called Outstanding cable Drama Series. Between the strong contenders on HBO (Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones), AMC (Mad Men, The Killing, The Walking Dead) and FX (Justified, Sons of Anarchy), the broadcast networks will be lucky if they get one show in the running. If they do, that show will likely be the best of the bunch, CBS’ The Good Wife.

Question: Rumor has it you got a preview screener of the Friday Night Lights finale. Thoughts? —Jamie
Ausiello: It’s too soon. Sorry.
Question: Does the Friday Night Lights finale contain a flash-forward element? —Jesse
Ausiello: Lordy, you people are relentless. Can’t you let a man grieve?

Prepare yourselves, because it packs an emotional punch the likes of which I have not experienced, well, ever. The final scene in particular just destroyed me. I’m so not ready to let go of these characters. Speaking of The End, I’ll be posting a post mortem with exec producer Jason Katims immediately following the finale. If you’re not a complete basket case — heck, even if you are — I strongly recommend you drop by and give it a read.
Question: Any Glee scoop? Will Emma face off with Gwyneth Paltrow for stealing Will? —Bridget
Ausiello: Considering Emma’s married to John Stamos, I don’t think “stealing” is the right word here. But the recovering germaphobe’s feathers will be ruffled by Holly’s return, and not just because of the Will factor. Turns out Emma is now the advisor of McKinley High’s celibacy club, so while sex-ed substitute Holly’s impromptu contraceptive demonstration may get the Glee Club all hot and bothered, it just gets Miss Priss bothered. In other Glee news… did you see this?! …READ MORE

Idol also showed strong retention (~97 percent) in both viewers and the demo (with an 8.9 rating).
The night’s big battle, however, may be shaping up in the 10 o’clock hour. Though Blue Bloods continues to dominate … READ MORE
