In the season finale of _In Plain Sight_, Mary has been shot in the abdomen and critically wounded. Now of course she’s going to live and return to work as a U.S. marshall- there wouldn’t be a show if she didn’t. But what I’d like to see is her having to live with the long-term consequences of being so gravely injured. Like in, she lost half her stomach and duodenum and now can’t scarf down junk food like she used to anymore, she has to eat easy to digest foods that she hates. ---

I’d like _How I Met Your Mother_ to finally introduce us to, you know, the MOTHER. I’d like _Hung_ to show us Ray’s magic dick (season finale is in two weeks; maybe we’ll get it then). I’d like Penny and Leonard (on _The Big Bang Theory_) to have a real, committed relationship with each other, for reals, instead of toying with it off & on for what seems like decades, like the whole Ross & Rachel thing. In fact, I think the best possible idea for an episode of that show would be one where all four of the guys (Raj, Leonard, Wolowitz and Sheldon) all get some. Entitle it: “The Coital Condensate.” Chuck Lorre, e-mail me for my snail-mail address so you can send me my royalty check. I’d like _American Gladiators_ to come back on the air. I’d like _Wipeout_ to be a regular series instead of a summer-only show. Ditto for _America’s Got Talent_. I’d like the World Series to involve the Chicago Cubs (not gonna happen :mad: ). I’d like for _Supernatural_ to show us which actors they picked to play God (you know he’s gonna show up, right?) and Satan (ditto) early in the season. ---

I’d like for Jack Bauer to neither get tortured nor torture anyone this season of 24. I’d also like there not to be a mole this season. ---

I’d like to see more of Fi’s Irish terrorist compatriots on _Burn Notice_. I’d like to see Divya wear her sexy glasses more on _Royal Pains_. I’d like to see Michael Chiklis and Evan Handler guest star on _In Plain Sight_ so it would look like a Three Stooges reunion. ---

On “Bones”, I’d like to see the “Booth might be suffering from amnesia” cliffhanger dropped as quickly as possible, even if it means that Booth was playing a cruel joke on Brennan by pretending to have amnesia. ---

> [@Lightnin](#): > > I would freakin’ love for Satan to be played by Ray Wise from _Reaper_. I don’t watch _Supernatural_, but Ray Wise was a GREAT choice for Satan. I used to watch a show, occasionally, when I could find it, called [Brimstone](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165564/). [John Glover](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001278/) turned in a great performance as the devil on that program. As was brought up in the [Joker](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=530172)thread, that’s a role with a lot of room for a talented actor to work in. ---

I want a suspect to crack up laughing at the way Horatio keeps taking his sunglasses off and putting them back on, on “CSI: Miami.” “You’ve taken your shades off 5 times in the last 3 minutes… oooh, I get it! That’s supposed to be intimidating, right? Not working.” ---

I’d like **Lost** to wrap up with an explanation for absoultely everything that has happened, in a way that doesn’t feel cheap or like they cheated. I’d like to see a late-round contestant on **America Idol** , one who has a good chance of winning, to collapse and go completely insane. Live. I’d like there to be a satisfying conclusion to **Monk** solving his wife’s murder. ---

I’d like Ted to disappear for a year on \*How I Met Your Mother \*and focus more on the rest of the gang (I hate Ted). That’s slightly doubtful… I’d like the next season of \*Dexter \*to magically appear on my DVR, since I don’t have a Showtime subscription. I’d like the Kansas City Chiefs to be shown on national television. (Sorry, rest of humanity.) I’d like the writing to revert back to the original brainstorming sessions of Season 1 on _It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia_. I’d also like to see more of the McPoyles. ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > I’d like for _Supernatural_ to show us which actors they picked to play God (you know he’s gonna show up, right?) and Satan (ditto) early in the season. They do already have Lucifer cast. I’ll spoil it for you, if you like. AFAIK, they don’t have have any intention of God actually showing up. Remember, “God has left the building”. But I’m not sure how early in the season he first shows up. I mostly want Sam and Dean to make up and trust each other again. _sniffles_ Also, I want Hotch to survive on _Criminal Minds_. ---

Except that in virtually every show which has relied on this sort of sexual/relationship tension thing, the consummation usually results in a spectacular shark-jumping. The only way to save it is to break it off immediately (a la _Friends_) and reinstate the “will they ever get (back) together” vibe. Now, a romantic relationship between Penny and _Sheldon_ - man, that could drive the show through another three seasons. ---

I never have seen an ep of J&K+8, but I know I want to see the +8 rise up & do a Children of the Corn on Jon & Kate. I don’t want to see what Justin\_Bailey spoiled about BBT, I do want if they MUST have Penny & Leonard go to bed together, have Penny’s world be totally rocked (“The cat’s alive!”) while Leonard’s more like “It was _OK_…” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-you-like-to-see-happen-on-next-seasons-tv-shows-possible-spoilers/508179.md?page=2)
