Forty Reasons We Loved Television in '07

5 ALEC BALDWIN on 30 Rock, pretending to be Tracy Morgan's dad. On why he left his son: "I was young and confused and your moms didn't want me 'round no more. Now pass me those collard greens."

6 The flash-forward finale on LOST. Especially the part when Jack read that mysterious obituary. And the part when we posted 500,000 words of commentary about it on our blog.

7 The emotional-carousel speech on MAD MEN, where Don Draper turns a slide projector into a metaphor for modern man's nostalgia, wrenching out every tear alpha-male viewers have repressed since they were thirteen.

8 Bret Michael's paramours Brandi and Lacey drunkenly vomiting during dinner on ROCK OF LOVE. Call us old-fashioned, but we miss the days when skinny girls waited until after dinner to throw up.
