Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Michael Mann, David Milch... the names involved in HBO's new drama "Luck" are so great, we were sold before we even heard the premise. And the seedy world of horse-racing is certainly fertile ground for TV drama. So while plot details are scarce so far, we can't wait to see what comes out of this collaboration when "Luck" debuts on HBO January 29. (The network already aired a special sneak preview this past Sunday.) We do get some idea of what to expect from the show's official poster; take a look for yourself right here:

All TV shows must come to an end — except, apparently, "The Simpsons" — and this year, dozens of them did.

Some were embarrassing misfires, such as "The Paul Reiser Show," which was axed from NBC's lowly lineup after just two episodes. (Heck, even Mario Lopez's hated "H8R" got to air four.) Others, however, were carefully crafted conclusions, such as the tear-jerker finales of "Friday Night Lights" or "Rescue Me." And somewhere in between were the critical hits that just couldn't build a big enough audience ("Lights Out," "Men of a Certain Age").

But apart from the contrasting circumstances, one thing stands out above all else: It is a bloodbath out there, people! What follows is a list of 88 shows — yes, EIGHTY-EIGHT shows — that called it quits in 2011, whether by choice or by network decree.

The '80s animated hit "ThunderCats" roared back to life on the small screen this summer, thanks to Cartoon Network's slick new reboot. (And the network is helping you become a ThunderCat with their new "Mane Frame" Facebook app; check it out on the show's official Facebook page.) Whether you're an old-school viewer or a "ThunderCats" newbie, you'll love this week's Yahoo! TV giveaway: We're handing out a trio of prize packs that are just purr-fect for the "ThunderCats" fan in your life.

The grand-prize pack includes a pair of  "ThunderCats" T-shirts (one men's, one women's), a "ThunderCats" baseball cap, and a six-inch collector's edition Lion-O action figure. You can also win one of two runner-up prize packs:  either two deluxe action figures of Lion-O and Tygra, or three standard action figures of Lion-O, Tygra, and Mumm-Ra. (With these in hand, you can play along at home!)
