\"I will not be a dummy.\"
Pam got herself in a pickle when her best friend Jim declared his love to her -- twice! -- and she rebuffed him for her knucklehead fiancé. Jim then bolted to Connecticut to lick his wounds and has only recently returned. The newly knucklehead-free Pam is, of course, bubbling with jealousy over Jim's new romance. He's gone the emotionally healthy route of actually taking no for an answer, so the next move is going to have to be hers. If she wants things to improve in 2007, she'd better make that move. Sure, she's uncertain, insecure, and risk-averse, but Pam also spent much of this year being just plain dumb. You don't usually get what you want without asking for it, especially when you've already rejected it once. You're very lovable, Pam, but make 2007 the year you get a clue. ";

\"I will find a nice, single, sane boyfriend and stop behaving like a clown.\"
Title character Meredith has trouble remembering the first cardinal rule of choosing a boyfriend: he should not be married. Sure, McDreamy's marriage was on the rocks, his wife betrayed him first, and they're supposedly now off on a better new direction. But involvement with a married guy who doesn't mention he's married until far into the process will eventually exhaust even the most inexhaustible drama queen. (Which Meredith, of course, is.) Every time she engineers goofy high-school foolishness such as the competition between the boyish McDreamy and the well-adjusted (and therefore doomed) veterinarian Finn, Meredith hurts her own chances. She could use a few years of therapy, but at the very least, she should start by forcing herself to go on a few dates with a normal, non-jealous, non-possessive, non-creepy math professor or something. She's a doctor. She should have choices.

\"I will not become boring now that I have the woman of my dreams.\"
\"How I Met Your Mother\" constantly walks a tightrope. The central romance in this romantic comedy is Ted's pursuit of his friend Robin, which finally found success at the end of the first season. This was an unusually quick resolution to a story like this, and it would ordinarily kill the dramatic and romantic thrust of the show. But because viewers know that Ted apparently doesn't wind up with Robin after all, we still don't really know what's coming. Still, this dynamite show is still learning to live without Ted's determined hopefulness, and there is a lingering risk that Ted will become a cliché of the harried boyfriend, like Chandler on \"Friends\" once he started dating Monica. For the show's strength to survive, Ted needs to stay sharp and funny, and he needs to find some other outlets for all that optimistic energy.

\"I will not think that unwelcome pursuit is romantic.\"
As \"Studio 60\" has stumbled to find its feet, one of the storylines that did show promise was an interesting little friendship between self-righteous cocaine addict Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford) and winsome network president Jordan McDeere (Amanda Peet). When Peet's pregnancy forced a change of course, showrunner Aaron Sorkin apparently decided to accelerate their budding relationship. Therefore, at the end of the show's otherwise improved Christmas episode, Danny abruptly announced that he was falling in love with Jordan, and without ever giving her a chance to say yes or no, promised that he would come after her no matter what she said. Since the beginning of time, television has believed that pursuing unwilling women is romantic (pursuing unwilling men, of course, is merely pathetic), but Jordan's resolution for 2007 should be not to fall for it. If she likes him, they can have dinner. If she doesn't like him, she can call the police.";

\"I will not use my medical training to advance my personal agenda.\"
Professional schools are not always equipped to teach students how to deal with the real questions that may arise in a day-to-day practice. Still, someone probably taught Jack the part about doing no harm. In the fall finale leading into the winter hiatus, Jack found himself kidnapped and forced to perform surgery on his enemy (naturally), knowing the whole time that his on-again off-again crush Kate had just had intimate knowledge of the highly sketchy Sawyer, whom Jack views as a bum of sorts. Overcome with sympathy for the lovers, Jack decided to do a little extra slicing on the patient and threaten not to fix it unless Kate and Sawyer were allowed to escape. The American Medical Association will not be happy to hear about this.";

\"I will not get married unadvisedly.\"
Apparently, someone decided that Lorelai and Luke had been together for too long and needed to be split up, and the split took the form of the return of Lorelai's ex, Christopher. Christopher came back, Lorelai slept with him, and then Lorelai married him. In a show with a clear romantic direction dating back to its first season, marrying one party off to someone else is almost always a mistake, and here, it just makes Lorelai look inert and incapable of behaving rationally. Lorelai has been proposed to and engaged quite a lot in six and a half seasons, and it might be time for her to stop being involved in weddings and engagements for a while. Of course, this will now require her to get divorced.
