Friends
Come Thursday, July 9, a gaggle of 13 (mostly) new houseguests will move into Big Brother 11's sleek, modern and eco-friendly pad. But as cool as the CBS reality show's new house looks, you can't say that a pool-themed bedroom is for everyone. And that got us thinking: What humble (or not-so humble) TV abode would you like to call home?
Do you want ...

The Proposal - Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock
June is prominently known as a month for weddings, and we couldn't think of a better way to honor the opening of the new romantic comedy The Proposal than by asking what big-screen question-popping you love the most.

Jay Leno
As Jay Leno says goodbye to The Tonight Show, audiences can look back on several historic moments that took place during his watch: Barack Obama became the first sitting president to appear on a late-night show.

Mad Men, True Blood
It's that time of year again. The TV season is all but over, and you find yourself wondering just how you're going to beat the heat of summer without your favorite fall-through-spring shows.
That is, unless you're anything like us and eagerly await the summer months because of cable hits like Mad Men, True Blood, Weeds, and The Closer. Sure, the networks usually fill their schedules with mindless reality shows or burn off shows they've passed on renewing next season, but there's also plenty to look forward to.
So, we want to know: What will you watch to survive the summer? Are you just dying for the final episodes of Pushing Daisies? Will you give in to reality dating shows? Spend some quality time with the boys of Entourage? Or skip summer TV altogether and break out old DVDs?
Tell us about your plans after the jump.

Desperate Housewives
At last week's Desperate Housewives panel at Paley Fest, series creator Marc Cherry teased that "a major character from the first and second season comes back for the final five minutes of the [season] finale" (which airs May 17, on ABC). Cherry's use of the phrase "from the first and second season" is clever, as there are quite a few former cast members who fall into that category. Make the jump to review our list of suspects and then chime in on who you think it might be booked for an encore.

Ben's near-death and Jin's return to the living are among this season's thumps.
Happy Thumpday!
As Lost catches one last breath this week before unfurling the final four episodes of Season 5, we thought it a good time to assess the 13 end-of-episode "thumps" served up thus far.
Make the jump and review the list of moments that wowed us before the screen went to black, and then vote for the one that slammed you deepest into the sofa (or beanbag chair, if you've been appropriately channeling the '70s).
Feel free to elaborate on the thump you're stumping for in the comments section.
