Just last month our favorite shows returned from the hiatus forced by the writer's strike and now it's already time for the shortened seasons to come to an end. But which series season finales promise the most bang for our buck?

This season fans will have to bid good bye to more than their shows for the summer. Several series will be saying farewell to longtime characters - or at least these characters' fates hang in the balance.

Beware: the following might contain spoilers.

Here's my list of the Top 5 Season Finales to watch:

1. Supernatural

Dean's (Jensen Ackles) deal with the crossroads demon from last year's explosive finale finally comes due this week. But holding the contract is Lilith (Rachel Pattee), the newest bad ass on the block and she's gunning for Sam (Jared Padelecki). Can the Winchester brothers defeat this pint-sized demon with enormous power? Will Dean find a way out of the contract without sacrificing Sam or will he join the demons he hates in Hell? And if Dean is hellbound, can Sam survive without him?

I've heard no word that Ackles is leaving the show (in fact, I've heard he wants to stay) and I can't image Supernatural without Dean, but I have a feeling the executive producer Eric Kripke isn't going to give Dean an easy out on this deal. Expect an exciting hour with killer music, the return of Ruby (Katie Cassidy) and one very big cliffhanger. The Season 4 finale airs May 15 at 9 p.m. on CW.

2. NCIS

Rumors have been flying since this show returned in April that one of the main characters will not be returning in the fall. The absence of Director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) in the "Stakeout" episode where Ducky (David McCullum) handles some blood work for the director has many speculating that Shepard is on her way out.

But this fifth season death won't be from any long-term disease. It'll be murder and from what I've read it'll be a tragedy that devastates the entire team in the two-hour finale. We seen many of the characters put in jeopardy during the last few weeks, but my money is still on the director. But we'll have to wait until the finale airs on May 20 at 8 p.m. on CBS to find out.

3. Bones

I've read that in the Season 4 premiere that Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) will be looking for a new full-time forensic anthropologist. But just why is Bones looking for a new staff member? Well, the Gormogon killer returns for the season finale and all the clues point to an insider in the Jeffersonian. Will the killer off one of Bones' own team before Booth (David Boreanaz) can find him or could one of the team members be the killer?

If a serial killer in the lab isn't enough, Angela's (Michaela Conlin) long-lost husband shows up. Will his perfectness be enough to drive Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) to homicide or will Angela finally get the divorce that she wants (she still wants it, right?)? The third season finale airs on May 19 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

4. Numb3rs

If this year's season finale is anything like the Season 3 finale we are in for one helluva ride. Last year's finale was by far one of the best season finales on TV last season. On Friday, we will hopefully learn more about Megan's (Diane Farr) mysterious personal leave that sent her to the East Coast in the last episode before we bid her character farewell.

But Megan's exit seems minor compared to a case that is about to set the Eppes brothers at odds. While Don (Rob Morrow) and the FBI deal with a potential terrorist attack, it's a battle of knowledge vs. security that Don will wage with his brother Charlie (David Krumholtz). Season 4 concludes on May 16 at 10 p.m. on CBS.

5. CSI

For the last three seasons, the season finale has found a member of the CSI team in peril - last year Sara (Jorja Fox) was kidnapped by the miniature killer, the year before Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) was in surgery after being shot and in Season 5 Nick (George Eads) was buried alive. But this year, Warrick (Gary Dourdan) is in jeopardy - and I have the feeling that he's not going to fare as well as his teammates.

We already know that Dourdan is leaving the show, we just don't know yet how. In the season finale, Warrick is once again in trouble - this time he's a suspect for murder of a big-time Vegas gangster. Is Warrick headed for lock up or will he be a victim of retaliation? The eighth season finale airs May 15 on CBS at 9 p.m.

And one series finale that I'm not looking forward to - Smallville.

In its seventh season, Smallville is about to loose the best villain on TV at a time when it is already showing its age. I've already talked about how Smallville needed to take the next step and let Clark Kent (Tom Welling) don his cape. I was hoping to see Clark make the transition to Superman in this season finale - and what I thought would be a series finale.

But due to the shortened season, the powers that be have granted this superhero another season. But the eighth season looks to be a shell of the former series. The series already lost Lionel Luthor (John Glover) earlier this year. And word has it that Clark's arch nemesis Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and his high school sweetheart Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) will not be returning as regular cast in the fall. And now there's a possibility that we're losing Chloe (Allison Mack) too. Add that to the fact that the show will also lose the two men behind the show - Alfred Gough and Miles Millar - next season and it doesn't bode well for the future of the show. However, if you'd like to see what Lex has in store for Clark before he parts, tune in to the season finale on May 15 at 8 p.m. on the CW.

Which season finales are you most looking forward to? Which characters will you miss the most?

I think that Zach might be in jeopardy on Bones. I really hope not because I like his character and really don't want to see him gone.

Yes, I hated it when both NCIS and Bones were on Tuesday night. But if I had to pick between the two, I think I'd go with Bones. I like the relationship between Booth and Bones better.

I've always favored Bones over NCIS. The characters on NCIS seem either too caricatured (Ducky and Goth Girl) or too "I'm a total military-related badass" (the guys with guns), and there's much more chemistry between Booth and the squints than there is in NCIS.

That, and the result of the last night's episode seals the deal for me. Within vacelts' article list, I'd say Bones' is the finale I'm most looking forward to.

Gary Dourdan has been charged with felony drug possession. Doesn't really answer your question, though. My guess is that they will kill off the character.

Yeah. I heard about the arrest. He really blew it. The producers tried to help him save face by saying he was leaving (rather than he was being fired) and then he went and got himself arrested.

It's a shame that it had to come to that. His character will be missed.

Mine too. I didn't realize that there was so much behind the scenes drama with him though. I knew there had been drama with Jorja Fox and in the past with George Eads, but never realized that Dourdan was having so many issues.

I think Dourdan's issues were covered up by Fox and Eads' problems. Dourdan has been pretty quiet and I think this is just now coming out because Fox has left and there's nothing else to focus on.

Have you heard anything about the House season finale?

The CSI one intrigues me but that may be because I watched on dvd this weekend the four episode arc of season 7 when the dirty cop joined the gang.

I'd watch csi miami's finale if they killed off caruso.

Here's what I know about the House finale:

It's a two-part episode that begins tonight. House will lose his memory after a bus accident. And he's obsessed about a fellow passenger who he is sure is sick, but he can't remember details.

In other House news, here's a spoiler for next season from TV Guide:

Fox, in collaboration with producer NBC Universal, is quietly developing a House spin-off for next season. As I understand it, producers are introducing a new male character for a multi-episode arc and, assuming the actor they find really pops in the role, he may be spun off into his own show. But there's a twist, and it's a big one: Per multiple sources, this newbie is not a doctor, but rather a private investigator! And no, his name isn't Twitter.

Awesome.

Hell I'll write the strip. Or next time one of the 666 crime shows busts a serial killer they can just send him to Miami and say, "oops" They can even bill it as a crossover effort.

Speaking of crossovers did anyone else watch the csi crossover with a sitcom? I saw the csi one and it had its moments.

He said the bartender took his keys but they never showed that his bike was still at the bar. It was an assumption on the part of the viewer.

I think Amber was one of the eight patients taken to a different hospital.

Reaper - No, but I'm expecting the "other woman", Cady, to come home and that ain't gonna be good. I belive I read somewhere on the net it did get picked up for another season, but now I can't find it.

Supernatural - Probably weighting on this with the most anticipaition. Probably because right now there is no indication which side of the line Dean is going to land on. I just watched the last episode last night off the DVR and I wasn't expecting Bela to buy it at the end.

Reaper -- I've heard that it will probably be picked up, but haven't seen anything definite yet. I liked Cady better than Andy and hope that she does come back.

Supernatural -- I'm with you about the anticipation. I can't imagine the show without Dean in his current role, but as last week's episode showed Kripke isn't afraid to kill people off and he's not going to make this easy for Dean or fans.

My hubby and I are looking forward to Reaper, Law & Order:SVU and Supernatural season finales. I am looking forward to Ugly Betty, Medium, Desperate Housewives and especially LOST.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the season finale of Reaper after the twists they've added to storyline already this season. I'm just hoping its a season finale and not a series finale.

Is Desperate Housewives good this season? I was a big fan of the show the first couple of seasons but stopped watching it about the time Mike went into a coma.

Desperate Housewives has been very good this season.

I hadn't heard anything about Reaper being a possible series finale. I thought it was doing well for CW. They'd better not cancel it!

I'm sure I will be electronically beheaded for this, but 4 of your picks are crimesolvers, and while I like them, I think they are overrepresented in the sample. Of course, that is your taste. I'm looking at Lost, and dark horse pick here: The Office. Toby's leaving! *bites fingernails*

You're right, I did lean heavily on crime dramas this time, but they seem to be offering the more edge of your seat finishes this year.

Lost is on my list too, but I'm behind so it didn't come regularly to mind.

I'm not an Office fan, but generally most sitcoms don't have big finales. Office must be an exception.

Hodgins would be the biggest twist of the bunch, with his outspoken loyalty and antiestablishment views, not to mention his relationship with Angela.

It won't be Booth, Bones, or Cam, and Angela seems like an unlikely choice. I'd say either Zack or Hodgins, or maybe the black guy (the one who almost replaced Zack). I'd say Hodgins, though I'm horrid at predicting things like this.

Admittedly, they could pull a Numb3rs and put Hodgins in the magical place where he's both a traitor and a hero. A more likely compromise scenario would probably be Hodgins being a mole under unorthodox pressure exerted by or on the Really-Powerful-Whatchamacallit Group that he heads.

Bones

CSI:NY
