Sweet TV romances are fine and all, but the relationships that keep you tuning in each week are usually the kind that are tragically unfulfilled. As much as we'd like to see certain couples get together, you have to admit that smoldering sexual tension is more fun to watch. So from these hot-but-not-on couples, which one gets your vote?

Weeds's sixth season comes to a close tonight, and if the show's past finales are any indication, we're in for a big cliffhanger. Nancy and the boys have been on the run all season long, but the tables have turned now that Guillermo and Esteban have finally tracked her down. As usual, our heroine seems to be in a bit of a pickle. The show couldn't go on without her, so how do you think Nancy will squeeze out of this one? Will she and Andy finally head to Copenhagen?
Though the latest season hasn't been my favorite, I have to admit that it's grown on me. I particularly loved the twist with Silas's father, and of course, the Mark-Paul Gosselaar cameo. You all were looking forward to the show's return back in July, but how do you feel about it now? Are you geared up for the finale?

Regardless of the rollercoaster of cancellations and pickups for new TV series, there's still a stable of mature TV shows that have been running for a long time (over four seasons, to be precise). It's time for you to weigh on which shows are still thriving, and which shows should be put out of their misery.

The Weeds loft which Pilar Proffitt designed for the Showtime House 2010 is one of the most livable rooms, with a palette that I completely covet. While the lines of the furniture, designed by Proffit's design firm POESIS, are absolutely stunning, my favorite element is the large-scale brown and mauve medallion rug. It pairs beautifully with the soft lavender walls, and I'd kill to have one in my home! Wondering where you can pick it up? Continue reading to find out!
On Tuesday, the third annual Showtime House opened its doors in Manhattan, showcasing high design and cutting-edge interiors inspired by the network's original series Californication, Dexter, Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, Weeds, The Big C, and The Borgias. It's open to the public on Saturdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 27. Tickets are $15 and all proceeds benefit Harlem Children's Zone.
I got in touch with the stellar group of interior designers and architects responsible for this year's inspired interiors and asked them each a couple questions about how their rooms came together. Check out this slideshow to read the designers' responses and get a peek at all of the fabulous rooms!

The sticker price of parenting is a huge shocker when you're just entering mommydom. On the "Yippity Sippity" episode of Weeds, new big bro Shane ventured into a baby store to buy a replacement stroller and learned the (faux) Yippity line was going to cost him $1,000. He asked what he could get for a $100, and the curt salesman told him a Yippity Sippity cup holder. The story of our lives. Shane made a move most of us can't, leaving the store with the pricey wheels . . . without whipping out his wallet. Unless you want to end up in the mommy pen, stealing isn't acceptable, but leaving the store empty-handed is a reality in a world filled with $2,000 cribs and $50 bibs. What goodies have you walked away from because of price?
How's this for a hot Summer night of TV? Tonight on Showtime, the Botwin family gets a name change and a new residence when the sixth season of Weeds returns. As the Newmans, Nancy and the gang go on the run — and incognito — to escape trouble after Shane's little accident in the season five finale.
Then, after Weeds is the series premiere of The Big C — the highly anticipated new comedy starring Laura Linney as a woman who changes her life after she's diagnosed with cancer. Joining Linney are costars Oliver Platt and Gabourey Sidibe as her husband and student. The buzz is big on this one — after the sneak peek we saw a couple months ago and the panel at the TCA, I can't wait to see the ultra-talented Linney in her own series and with such an important role. Will you be tuning in tonight?
