1. A Smirk on The Vampire Diaries

I'm thankful for Damon's smirk and his beautiful blue eyes on The Vampire Diaries. -- Miranda Wicker

2. Abs on Arrow

I'm thankful for all the gratuitous scenes of Stephen Amell's abs on Arrow; especially when he's doing the salmon ladder. It's a lot of hard work, so thank you, Mr. Amell! -- Katie Wiedel

3. Shonda Rhimes Thursdays

I'm thankful for Shonda Rhimes! She's got Thursday nights handled! Her inventive storytelling continues to showcase strong female leads. What else could a girl ask for? Seriously! #TGIT -- Krystal Sondel

4. Victoria Grayson's Emotions on Revenge

I'm thankful for Victoria Grayson when she's pissed off on Revenge. The faces Madelaine Stowe pulls through all the botox are excellent! -- Paul Dailly

5. Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez

I'm thankful for Gina Rodriguez on Jane the Virgin. She is such a star on that show. She can make you laugh, and cry all in one episode. Best new character of fall season. -- Mary Kate Venedam

6. The Mindy Project's Danny Castellano

I'm thankful for Danny Castellano on The Mindy Project. He can be a lovable crank one minute, then surprise us the next by proving to be a total softie underneath, red reading glasses and all. He's got mad gingerbread house making skills to go along with some killer dance moves, and I think that striptease he did for Mindy in the premiere warrants it's own special shout out. Most of all, I'm thankful for Chris Messina, Castellano's portrayer, who always seems willing to do whatever Mindy Kaling and the writers throw at him and the character with 100% committment. Those are just some of the reasons why I believe Danny Castellano is a national treasure! -- Bridget Liszewski

7. The Killing's Netflix Swan Song

I'm thankful that Netflix decided to bring The Killing back for six final episodes. I know the ending was controversial, but I loved that we got sunny skies, Linden smiling and Holder being adorable. I'm glad they got their happy ending. -- Whitney Evans

8. A Real Soap Actress on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

I'm thankful for Lisa Rinna joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. A real soap actress joining a soapy reality show? Pure genius. -- Winston Rice

9. Gilmore Girls - On Netflix and at ATX Festival

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE GILMORE GIRLS REUNION! I got to ATX festival every year. Ahhh I don't know how I am going to make it until June. I'm hardcore thankful for that reunion. Is there anything better than Rory and Lorelai reunited? Answer: Yes, if Luke shows up. -- Allison Nichols And on that note, I'm grateful Gilmore Girls is on Netflix! Even though I have all seven seasons, there's nothing like being able to stream hours and hours of Lorelai and Rory on a rainy day without having to switch out DVDs. And now that it's on Netflix, it's like the show has been reborn. And a lot of people are watching it for the first time, which is really exciting. -- Ashley Sumerel

10. Netflix's Resurrection of Longmire

I'm thankful Netflix saved Longmire from cancellation! Now we will get a resolution to that crazy cliffhanger. -- Stacy Glanzman

11. Parenthood's Final Season

I’m thankful NBC is giving us one last season of Parenthood! While it’s not a full season, nor is everyone present for every episode, at least I can dine with my favorite TV family one last time. -- Nick McHatton

12. The Long Life of Grey's Anatomy

I'm thankful for Grey's Anatomy. Even in its eleventh season, my favorite doctors and the awesome storylines have me glued to the edge of my bed every Thursday night. Thanks Shondaland! -- Christina Tran

13. The Walking Dead

I am thankful for The Walking Dead having all amazing episodes this season so far. The strongest string of episodes so far and the show is really embracing the fact that it is an action and horror series. Also, as a faithful follower of the comics, it brings tears to my eyes that the show made it this far into the story. -- Amanda Wolf

14. 200 Episodes of Supernatural and Counting

I would give thanks to Supernatural for reaching 200 episodes. I stayed with them when they got sent to Friday Purgatory and gave a fist pump when they returned victoriously to Tuesday. And I still can't stop singing A Single Man Tear. -- Tanya Moat

15. Scorpion and Their Case Solving Abilities

I'm thankful for Scorpion - You have to love a show that will actually "solve" the case and still leave 10 minutes to see the characters interact and remind us they are human beings too. -- Jim Garner

16. Signed, Sealed and Delivered by the Hallmark Channel

I am going to go ahead and say I am grateful for Signed, Sealed, Delivered on Hallmark Channel. Never have a been more captivated by the idea of writing a letter than I was watching that ten episode series. I don't think family and life values have ever some across as normative and not cheesy as Martha Williamson of Touched by An Angel fame managed to craft this wonderful show and its characters. Glad their going to continue it on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as a series of films, but it was definitely an unexpected surprise this year that I was thankful for! -- Chandel Charles

17. Sheldon's Fun with Flags on The Big Bang Theory

I am thankful for Sheldon's Fun with Flags on The Big Bang Theory because it shows how perfect Sheldon and Amy are together. A woman that can help her man record over 200 episodes of a show about flags is a keeper! Plus I now know what the flag for jellyfish is! -- Samantha McAllister

18. A Caskett Wedding on Castle

I'm thankful for Rick Castle and Kate Beckett finally becoming husband and wife. I've watched from the very first episode and although I would've loved to have seen a longer wedding, their vows were absolutely perfect. Seeing this couple so darn happy makes my heart smile. After seven seasons, it was wonderful to see the promise of the Caskett relationship finally become official. -- Christine Orlando

19. Scott Foley's Dance Moves on Scandal

I'm thankful for Scott Foley's adorable dance moves on the midseason finale of Scandal. He may not have been my pick back during the days of Felicity, but he's won me over on Scandal. Team Jake for the win! -- Amanda Steinmetz

20. The Awesomeness that is The 100

I'm thankful for the awesomeness that is The 100. The series may be on the CW, but it's right up there with some of the best shows on television. Jason Rothenberg and the writers have created a complex world to examine the best and the worst of humanity. The series continues to take shocking and unexpected turns while remaining believable. -- Carla Day

21. TV Viewers and Fellow Fanatics

I'm thankful for all of you, for allowing me amazing opportunties to do what I love, making lasting friendships and turning being a couch potato into something positive. Without the other Fanatics (contributers and readers), none of that would be possible. Thank you!
