Kyle XY
Originally airing on ABC Family in 2009, the third season of Kyle XY begins with promise. Kyle (Matt Dallas) effortlessly goes into heroic mode when he has to rescue his girlfriend Amanda (Kristen Prout) from a covert organization. When he himself is endangered, he relies on his fellow lab-created "sister" Jessi XX (Jaimie Alexander) to come to his aid. But at a certain point, the series hits an ick factor when it hints that Kyle and Jessi may have feelings for each other. Never mind that they're not necessarily human. It still just feels wrong. Part sci-fi, but mostly a teen soap opera (think Gossip Girl and Beverly Hills, 90210, the remake), Kyle XY lacks some of the luster of its debut season. The characters are more clichéd this time around and are given rote lines that don't always ring true. To be fair, there is a lot going on here that would've been better served spread out over twice the number of episodes. But like many shows that are canceled without much warning, this final season of Kyle XY is a bit anemic. It's only 10 episodes long, and the abrupt ending leaves fans feeling a bit cheated about what happened and why (or, in some cases, why not). Though watching Kyle (and Jessi) thrive in their adoptive home is sweet, it doesn't drive the show. The best plot device features the duo scheming to stop the over-the-top experiments that basically produced them--and could produce duplicates of them. The series finale is unsatisfying. But the three-disc DVD set's saving grace is a bonus feature called "Kyle XY: Future Revealed." Just about 12 minutes long, the featurette does an admirable job of fleshing out the bellybuttonless hero's back story, as well as giving insight into what the future holds for the pragmatic teen. --Jae-Ha Kim

After the kids discover the Tragers can't pay the huge hospital bill, desperate plans are made to raise the fortune themselves. Josh thinks of renting out Jessi's flat as love nest. Kyle feels guilty for the accident and decides to win enough by entering a Latnock inventors competition, a floating board, but jealous regular Nate Harrison meanly sabotages his project. So Kyle still needs help from everybody else, and the clock is ticking.

Nate Harrison not only keeps opposing Kyle, he even becomes his rival for Amanda. Now Andy is to follow her moms to Cleveland, she arranges for him to date 'perfect substitute' Katie, which proves an emotional roller-coaster for all three. Declan finds a new girlfriend. After courting coaching from Lori, Jessi realizes she'll never win Kyle from Amanda.
