In this paper we discuss some special (critical) background solutions thatarise in topological gauged ${\mathcal N}=8$ three-dimensional CFTs with SO(N)gauge group. These solutions solve the TMG equations (containing the parameters$\mu$ and $l$) for a certain set of values of $\mu l$ obtained by varying thenumber of scalar fields with a VEV. Apart from Minkowski, chiral round $AdS_3$and null-warped $AdS_3$ (or Schr\"odinger(z=2)) we identify also a more exoticsolution recently found in $TMG$ by Ertl, Grumiller and Johansson. We alsodiscuss the spectrum, symmetry breaking pattern and the supermultipletstructure in the various backgrounds and argue that some properties are due totheir common origin in a conformal phase. Some of the scalar fields, includingall higgsed ones, turn out to satisfy three-dimensional singleton fieldequations. Finally, we note that topologically gauged ${\mathcal N}=6$ ABJ(M)theories have a similar, but more restricted, set of background solutions.
