A walk down the aisle, unemployment and an unexpected crush factor into the fourth season of this buddy comedy. Viewers continually wonder if Ted's current conquest becomes the titular mom, and this season, it looks like he may have hit pay dirt. The relationship between Ted (Josh Radnor) and Stella (Sarah Chalke) moves forward when she accepts his proposal, made at the end of Season 3. As they get closer to the altar, they trip a few times: They realize they know little about each other after Stella ends up in the ER because of Ted's cooking; she expects him to move in with her after the wedding, but her Garden State address inflames ardent New Jersey-hater Ted; and his pals stage an intervention over their concerns about his nuptials. The wedding itself has a bad vibe. After Stella's sis backs out of her own wedding, Stella and Ted assume her plans, but it all goes south...bad vegan food? no booze? exes on the guest list? Just as frustrating is the employment picture for the gang. Ted, Marshall (Jason Segel) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) find themselves out of jobs. Marshall takes it the hardest (and finds his "underpants radius" expanding), Ted considers striking out on his own, while Robin goes to the ends of the Earth -- literally, Tokyo -- to find work. When that doesn't pan out, she faces deportation...until Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) creates an awesome video resumé for her. The most surprising turn of events is the revelation that Barney has a heart. He admits to Lily (Alyson Hannigan) that he's in love with Robin, and the usually sleazy Barney becomes flustered and jealous around his crush. Oh, but he still beds other women. In other developments: The gang searches for the best burger in NYC with Regis Philbin; the Naked Man offers an offbeat way to "close the deal" on a date; and Barney reveals his secret family. ~ Sue Tuttle, Rovi

Moving back to Wednesdays after a year on CBS' Monday-night lineup, The Nanny inaugurates its third season, offering 27 episodes this year. Fran Drescher continues to head the cast as Fran Fine, the cheekily vulgar nanny in the veddy-proper Manhattan household of widowed Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) and his three growing children. Although Sheffield's female business partner, C.C. (Laura Lane), has not given up her efforts to strong-arm Maxwell into marriage, it is clear that the master of the Sheffield house is falling in love with Fran. Indeed, in the season-ending finale, Maxwell not only takes Fran along on a business trip to Paris, but also stammers out those three magic words, "I love you" -- just as the "To be continued" title crashes on the screen. In other developments, Fran briefly moves out of the Sheffield town house and into an apartment with her best friend, Val (Rachel Chagall); Maxwell's imperious mother, Elizabeth (Dina Merrill), sweeps into town, immediately demanding that her son dismiss his nanny; Maxwell's shy daughter Maggie (Nicholle Tom) turns sweet sixteen; and in the series' animated-cartoon Christmas episode, "Oy to the World," the leading actors provide the characters' voices in a helter-skelter North Pole fantasy. As in previous seasons, several guest stars appear as "themselves" during The Nanny's third season, among them Elizabeth Taylor, Alex Trebek, Jay Leno, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Eartha Kitt, Burt Bacharach, tennis champ Monica Seles, fashion designer Todd Oldham, the cast of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and even "presidential brother" Roger Clinton. Most amusingly, Marvin Hamlisch also shows up -- not as himself, but as a fellow who happens to look like Marvin Hamlisch! Breaking into the Top 20 TV programs for the first time this year, The Nanny closed out its third season as America's 16th most-watched series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Being a vampire sucks." This pretty much summed up the attitude of the protagonist of this heady CBS mixture of suspense and the supernatural. Alex O'Loughlin starred as LA private detective Mick St. John, who'd become an "undead" vampire way back in 1947 thanks to his fang-bearing former wife Coralyn (Shannyn Sossamon. Though obliged to drink blood and avoid sunlight to survive (luckily he was impervious to such usual vampire repellants as wooden stakes and garlic), Mick made the best of a bad situation by taking a job that allow him to work nights and to spend his days sleeping in a freezer; and, good-hearted soul that he was, Mick sidestepped the embarrassing necessity of killing people for their blood by forming a strong friendship with morgue attendant Guillermo (Jacob Vargas), who provided him with an endless supply of fresh corpses. Against his better judgment, Mick fell in love with a mortal, intrepid girl reporter Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), who worked for the Buzzwire news service and who frequently accompanied Mick during his investigations. Rounding out the regular characters were Mick's mentor and best friend Josef (Jason Dohring), a remarkably well-preserved 400 year old vampire who supported his luxurious lifestyle as a professional fund trader, and who lacked Mick's compassion for human beings but was willing to avoid biting necks when Beth was around; and police lieutenant Carl Davis (Brian White), who by default was the only entirely normal character on the show. Curiously, the vampiric elements of the series took a back seat to the detective work, which followed the "procedural" format of such series as Law&Order and CSI. Created by Ron Koslow of Beauty and the Beast fame, Moonlight first flapped its wings on September 28, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
