'Boston Legal'
(9PM, ABC) series finale
Five seasons of wacky criminal trials, a frat-like law office and, of course, the highly quotable Denny Crane wrap up with a two-hour series finale.

The legal eagles of Crane Poole & Schmidt major financial woes, with a potential sale is putting a damper on Shirley and Carl's pending nuptials.

Meanwhile, Shirley has chosen a special man to walk her down the aisle -- ex-love Denny (Emmy winner William Shatner) -- but the outspoken attorney has bigger things on his plate; he's waiting for pal Alan (Emmy winner James Spader) to get the court's permission for Denny to try an experimental drug that could slow down his Alzheimer's.

'Gossip Girl'
(8PM, The CW)
The annual Snowflake Ball provides the Upper East Side teens with an opportunity for romance, but, as usual, exactly who'll be, ahem, Ball-ing with who is up in the air.

Serena is happily ensconced in her new relationship with artist Aaron, but when his ex-girlfriend shows up at the gallery and starts making plans with Serena's ex, Dan, Miss van der Woodsen gets jealous.

Meanwhile, Nate finds himself in a love triangle with pals Jenny and Vanessa, and Chuck and Blair meet a pair of lookalikes and counsel them on how they -- the dopplegangers -- can make a relationship work where they -- the real Chuck and Blair -- can't.

'Samantha Who?' and 'Boston Legal'
(9:30PM and 10PM, ABC)
Guess who's coming to dinner?

At the Newly home, it's Samantha's new boyfriend Owen, who's going to get to know Sam's 'rents during a family meal. But Owen gets a case of foot-in-mouth disease when he meets Sam's dad -- a chicken farm owner -- and makes disparaging remarks about chicken farm owners.

Meanwhile, it's about turkeys on 'Boston Legal,' when Shirley plans a cozy Thanksgiving dinner for herself and Carl, but instead -- and here's where the turkeys come in -- ends up hosting a dysfunctional pseudo-family affair when Alan and Denny and the office gang want in on the festivities, too.

'CSI: Miami'
(10PM, CBS) 150th episode
One hundred fifty episodes ... that's a lot of crimes, and, as a plethora of YouTube videos attest, a lot of David Caruso's trademark one-liners, often accompanied by the addition of his sunglasses.

Back to the crimes, CBS has compiled a handy list of 150 wrongdoings Horatio Crane and company have solved, including people killed by being bled out by leeches, eaten by sharks and crocodiles, drowned in champagne, poisoned with lip gloss and being blown up by a bomb sewn into a dress.

Tonight's case is much less kooky, but much more evil, as the team tries to find a murderer who kidnapped a baby before the infant becomes his next victim.

'Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash 2008'
(9PM, NBC)
Is it as important as tomorrow night's election coverage? Duh. But it's undoubtedly more fun, as the Not Ready for Primetime Players unspool two hours of very primetime-worthy political skits.

Recent sketches (Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, Fred Armisen as Barack Obama and, of course, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin) and clips from the 'SNL' vaults -- Chevy Chase as a bumbling Gerald Ford and Will Ferrell's numb-skulled Dubya, for example -- pepper the election eve special.

And there will be some new surprises from the show that's been the go-to series for political satire this season. We'll just be happy to see Poehler's 'Palin Rap' again.

Let's play dress-up.

When Halloween rolls around, we love seeing our favorite TV characters dress up.

From Roseanne's patriotic outfit to 'Bones' as Wonder Woman to Dwight's 'Star Wars' homage, see how well you remember memorable costumes worn by TV characters.

'Gossip Girl '
(8PM, The CW)
Poor Dan Humphrey ... guess he hasn't read the 'Gossip Girl' books, because if he had, he'd know that the new rich kid on the block is one Aaron Rose, destined to be the next boy toy on the arm of one Serena van der Woodsen.

Of course, in the books, Dan is also bisexual, so the TV series will probably never be 100 percent faithful to the book series, but it is true that Aaron ('Stick It' star John Patrick Amedori) is Serena's new Dan.

Meanwhile, Humphrey kid Jenny makes a new friend in the rebellious Agnes, who convinces Little J that she needs to make a bold move with her fashion career, lest Blair's mom squash it before it even begins.

'Dancing With the Stars'
(8PM, ABC) 7th season premiere
Cloris Leachman, prepare to get down and funky with your bad self.

And fans, pencil in three nights of primetime viewing for the 'DWTS' season premiere, which includes the opening night of competition (Mon.), a second night of performances (Tue.) in which one couple will be eliminated and a results show (Wed.) that will find another couple getting bounced and a performance by the Jonas Brothers.

Among the 13 celebs hoping to boogie their way to the mirrored ball trophy: Leachman, the show's oldest-yet contestant at 82, Susan Lucci, Lance Bass, Kim Kardashian, comedian Jeffrey Ross and 'Hannah Montana's' Cody Linley, the youngest-yet contestant at 18.

How many actors get to play three iconic characters on TV?

William Shatner's done it -- first as 'Star Trek''s original captain, James T. Kirk, then as 'T.J. Hooker,' and now as brilliant 'Boston Legal' lawyer Denny Crane, a role for which he's won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

He opens up to AOL TV's Kimberly Potts about the next 'Star Trek' movie, his fall 2009 talk show and ... Denny's bid for the White House?!
