The final week of season finale's and marking and marking the impending shortening of this column, at least until some summer season shows start up, or the occasional special.

Was anything worth watching? Let's take a look, shall we?

Sunday 5/22.

• Desperate Housewives. The first of the week's highly anticipated season enders. I am more of a casual viewer and didn't have a vested interest in how this one turned out. It was an interesting show as the secrets of Mary Alice's suicide are revealed, and the neighbor kid (I forget his name) is holding Susan hostage as Mike returns from possibly killing his father. Meanwhile, Lynette is having marital problems, and Bree is at her husbands side following his unexplained heart attack. ***
• Grey's Anatomy. I liked the episode, but don't remember much from the first season closer. I know George finds out he has syphillis, after finding a girlfriend who had also been with one of his roommates. There is also the potentially botched surgery and the unauthorized autopsy. Meredith and her boss's relationship gets a few more steps when his wife shows up. I am intersted in seeing where this goes next year. ***

Monday 5/23.

• WWE: Raw. This was a pretty good show. Features Lita's reasoning for turning on Kane and teaming with Edge. There was a decent handicap match between Shelton and Hassan/Daivari, couple of bothed moves, but Shelton is great to watch in the ring. Bischoff has a funeral for ECW which results in him being int he ring with Vince and Paul Heyman together. The show closed with a match between Batista and Edge, with interference from Christian and Tomo and thereturn of Triple H. ***
• 24. The 2 hour season cap on what was possibly the best one yet. The finale had mixed results with audiences, from what I have seen, I liked it. It is not without it's faults, but I am willing to suspend disbelief in a rather unbelievable show. Following the capture of Mandy, they are able to quickly locate Marwan, but he is not giving up the target. The techs onsite soon find that it is heading for LA, and it is quickly shot down. SOme of the knowledge regarding the missile and it's quick removal from the plot was a little disappointing. On the other hand, it seems like they are trying to take the series back a few steps and make it more personal for Jack. The Chinese are back in the picture and quickly get a confession and turn on Jack. The President, that spineless non-leader material guy, is quick to order his turnover to the Chinese. Palmer jumps into action and warns Jack that he is about to be killed. Jack escapes and the episode ends with him walking into the sunset David Banner style. It appears that next season will be Jack solo, and maybe some Tony action. ***.5
• Las Vegas. Sam's husband (Dean Cain) buys the Montecito and the season ends with an explosion, or rather implosion, while the cast members all wonder about their futures. Mike is going on a singing tour, Mary is flying off with her new boyfriend, the rest is up int he air. Next season could be interesting. ***
• Medium. A good finale to a show I can't quite decide if I like or not. The Texas Ranger from the pilot is back, helping Allison track down a serial killer in her dreams. Most of his help comes when he is not awake, then his heart becomes a problema nd he ends up in the hospital far from home. ***
