Our top moments of the week: 13. Weirdest Wake-Up Call: After a brokenhearted Walden is rejected again by his estranged wife on Two and a Half Men, he and Alan drink the pain away and wake up naked in each other's arms. They slowly recall the evening's events and realize that they went skinny-dipping. When they ask whose idea it was, the camera pans out to an equally hungover-looking Berta — who has been talking about all the nasty things she wants to do to Walden in her head. Now there's a threesome we don't want to see. 12. Funniest Cold Open: Oyster-shucking is dangerous — and hilarious.

Lights Out10/9c FX The Learys live in a New Jersey mansion that the Sopranos wouldn't find unfamiliar, and paterfamilias Patrick (Holt McCallany) made his money violently. But that's where the similarities end (some of them, anyway): Patrick (aka "Lights") is an ex-heavyweight boxing champ. Alas, retirement hasn't been good to Lights, and his money's running out (so, yes, he'll get mixed up with the mob). But Lights' story isn't all boxing-movie clichés. For starters, he's married to a med student (Catherine McCormack) and he's a responsible father. And when he's diagnosed with "pugilistic dementia" in the series opener, it's only the beginning of the story. — Paul DroeschRead on for previews of Frontline, Millionaire Matchmaker, NCIS, The Haney Project, Teen Mom and Onion SportsDome.

In the pursuit of TV love, our favorite characters employed some really weird tactics this week. On Boardwalk Empire, Margaret got Nucky's attention by dropping a dime on him. Crosby proposed with a plastic novelty ring while wearing a tacky jumpsuit on Parenthood. House's cranky doc even agreed to — gasp! — babysit. Don Draper's impromptu proposal on Mad Men's finale caught us off guard. But it's Kalinda and Blake's destructive flirtation on The Good Wife that perhaps most eloquently underscored that love may be a many-splendored thing, but there's nothing hotter than taking a baseball bat to your intended's automobile.
