What TVLine Readers Are Thankful For (2017)

"I'm thankful that Arrow is finally writing Oliver and Felicity's relationship the way it always should have been written. They are communicating and letting each other in. All their walls are down. And I think [we] may hear some wedding bells in their future." –Stephanie

"I'm thankful for Pamela Adlon and Better Things! There's nothing else like her show on television right now. Her performance (and everyone else's, honestly) is so freaking honest. The fact that she's directed every episode this season is another reason I'm thankful. You can tell it's a female perspective from the things she chose to focus on. THANKFUL. ALL. DAY." –Charley

"I am so thankful we got to see Jamie and Eddie discussing having kids on Blue Bloods! It's pretty much all I wanted this holiday season." –Trenton

"I'm thankful for the Brooklyn Nine-Nine proposal. It really caught me by surprise and melted my heart at the same time. And for a cop comedy, that's a pretty amazing feat." –Sarah

"I'm probably in the minority but I'm thankful that Chicago Fire didn't kill off any of its cast as they started Season 6. This show always makes me smile (and sometimes cry), and it definitely feels like a family, so I didn't want to lose anyone again (I still miss Shay)." –Heather

"This year I'm so thankful for Rachel Bloom and the rest of the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend cast and crew for delivering an incredible third season. And even though it is hard to watch at times, its portrayal of mental illness is brave and honest. Plus the songs are brilliant." –Kate

"I'm thankful that the Pop network brought ER reruns back into existence." –Sarah

"I am thankful [for] Arya Stark, the most badass character out there. She had two of the most jaw-dropping scenes in Game of Thrones [Season 7]. She really is a cut above the rest." –Racehelleet 

"I am truly grateful for Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. It's been a pretty terrible year, and Kevin is sweet, funny and optimistic, with wonderful performances (particularly Jason Ritter's). The cast creates a wonderful family that I'm glad to come home to every time I watch. Balm for the soul!" –Scott

"I'm thankful for having Tom Welling back on my TV screen again [on Lucifer]." –Sabrina

"I'm thankful that Sara Ramirez is back on television in Madam Secretary. She's my favorite actress, and I've missed seeing her since she left Grey's Anatomy in 2016." –Marianne

"I am thankful for The Middle, an unwavering source of light and hearty laughter for the past nine seasons. Foolishly overlooked by the Television Academy, the sitcom has captured the essence of family, of Middle America, and what it takes to be happy in a mud hole." –Brigid

"I am thankful for The Mindy Project ending on a high note by attempting to redeem Danny and reuniting our favorite couple." –Rosie

"I am thankful for the Once Upon a Time reboot. I kinda like it, especially new Hook, new Henry, the missing girl, Roni, Tiana and Tilly." –Naomi

"I'm thankful that Orphan Black ended on a high note, and that all the clones got what they deserved. I'll be even more thankful next year when Tatiana Maslany wins her second Emmy!" –Catarina

"I'm thankful for Netflix's offline downloading feature! I'm a New Yorker who takes the subway twice daily, and this allows me to catch up on TV and watch great shows I would never have time to watch otherwise (most recently Ozark, Master of None, Jerry Before Seinfeld and The Good Place)." –Evan

"I'm thankful for Playing House and its three perfect seasons. I'm thankful for true friendship, body rolls, artisanal cheese, bird bones, making too many apps, Phylicia Rashad's poetry, dancing cops, Kenny Loggins, and Lennon and Jessica. Thank you. #HellYesLife" –Noa

"I'm thankful Sense8 is getting a proper ending after that magnificent second season. No other show has given us a better portrayal of the world, and how diversity and tolerance literally makes us stronger. Can't wait for the movie!!" –Eli

"I'm thankful for Donna finally kissing Harvey on Suits." –Lindsey

"I'm thankful for the best start to a Supernatural season since the early days. The stories are engaging, the character moments are moving and poignant, and the performances are stellar. And I cannot remember a new character being as popular or so well integrated as Alex Calvert's Jack. SPN is the highlight of my TV week." –Mie

"I am thankful that Season 2 of Stranger Things actually lived up to the hype and was as good as Season 1." –Holly

"I'm grateful for the 300th episode of Grey's Anatomy. It was filled with nostalgia, humor and scenes that I didn't know I needed. It provided closure for Alex/Izzie on some level, it gave plenty of shoutouts to previous favorites (Lexie! Mark! Christina! Izzie!), and to make things even more special, the episode went full circle by showing Ellis clapping for Meredith. This hour, once again, proved to me that Grey's Anatomy is still one of the best shows on TV. And for a show in its 14th season, that's remarkable." –Ingmar

"I'm thankful for Kevin and Nora reuniting (and hopefully [being] happy!) at the [end] of The Leftovers." –Amanda

"I'm thankful we got one last Scandal season. Despite what everyone thinks about her right now, I'm never going to be ready to let Olivia Pope go." –Velizar
