The best of 2011: We're thankful for...

We were thankful for a lot of things in 2011 and, as we gather to eat Turkey, watch football and contemplate holiday shopping, we thought it only appropriate to pause and take note of the pop culture greatness -- from "Once Upon a Time" to a "Muppet" makeover to Courtney Stodden and even Madonna, who loathes hydrangeas -- that landed on our radar in the past year.
