Ausiello on Grey's, Moonlight, House, Gossip Girl and More!
TVGuide.com
Question: The spoiler you gave last week about someone replacing Meredith as narrator in Episode 11 of Grey's Anatomy is just killing me. Can you give me anything else?— Melissa
Ausiello: The new narrator is not Callie.
Question: Is it Bailey? — Dani
Ausiello: The new narrator is… yes, it's Bailey. And as I teased last week, there's a reason behind her temporary promotion — and it ain't pretty.
Question: OMG! Something's happening to Bailey? Nooooooooooo! — Laurie
Ausiello: Physically? No. Emotionally? Yes. Let's just say that random scene last week of Bailey at home with her husband and kid will make a lot more sense when Episode 11 airs early next year.
Question: If retail sales were down over the Thanksgiving weekend, it's your fault! I read your blog post about the things you're thankful for and then spent the entire holiday weekend looking at YouTube clips from the best soap ever, Santa Barbara. Any chance we'll get to see the reruns on SoapNet anytime soon? — Chris C.
Ausiello: I think you stand a better chance of seeing Nancy Grahn and Pam Long riding a tandem bike together through Central Park. As the suits at SoapNet remind me every time I harass them at press tour, Santa Barbara's unprecedented use of popular music makes rerunning old episodes cost-prohibitive. And because music was such a vital part of the show's DNA, stripping the songs out and replacing them with cheaper tunes is simply not an option. Bottom line: Until SoapNet feels that there's enough of a demand to justify the hefty price tag, we'll have to relive the
magic of SB through YouTube clips like this one. And this one.
Question: You love frozen grapes, too! I knew you were a kindred spirit. I've been eating them since I was a kid and people thought I was a nut. Another guilt-free divinity? Sugar-free creamsicles. — Paige
Ausiello: Not a big fan of the creamsicle. What else you got for me?
Question: Gimme some Moonlight scoop. I'm so hooked on that show it's not even funny. — Mandy
Ausiello: A little birdie with big fangs tells me that there's an assassination attempt made on Josef (Jason Dohring) in the Dec. 14 episode. But the major news is that we discover a secret that Josef has been keeping from Mick (Alex O'Loughlin) for over 40 years, and it may (read: will) explain why he believes Mick and Beth can never work.
Question: Any scoop on Friday Night Lights? — Roger
Ausiello: A little birdie with big shoulder pads tells me that the final pre-strike episode — aka Episode 15 — ends with a doozy of a cliff-hanger.
Question: I will blab to Gargamel the location of every Smurf I know unless you do this one thing for me: Tell me if Supernatural ever plans on exploring the good side of the supernatural world. You know, guardian angels, the spear of destiny, stuff like that.— Jeff
Ausiello: TV Guide's HR policy strictly forbids me from negotiating with terrorists, but I suppose I could make an exception just this once. Here's your answer, courtesy of Supernatural creator Eric Kripke: "We have a firm belief in the cosmology of this show that evil, in terms of demons, etc, is very tangible and real and out there. Angels and supernatural forces of good are much more elusive. But in my opinion — and the opinion of the writers — if God is out there, he isn't sending angels to fight the battles; he's working through a very human, sweaty, outgunned and overwhelmed group of hunters. For us, these are the angels. I think the point that's very important to us to make is that the forces of good work through humans who are flawed and imperfect and trying to make the right decisions. And that's the way God works. So we try to present that."
Question: I will bathe you in Diet Raspberry Snapple if you can tell me that there is going to be a Gossip Girl soundtrack. — Jen
Ausiello: I have to hand it to you Ausholes, your bribes are getting more disturbing creative with each passing week. While I can't guarantee you that there will be a GG soundtrack, I can assure you that the thought has crossed Josh Schwartz's mind. "We're figuring that out right now," he says. "I think we're gonna come up with an aggressive sort of digital way to do it that really fits with our audience." BTW, if you haven't read Damian Holbrook's awesome Q&A with Schwartz — featuring a smorgasbord of O.C. gossip — hop to it!
Question: It's that time of year: October Road's back! Please give me some scoop! — Jamie
Ausiello: OK, but just so you know, I'm doing this out of a sense of pity, not obligation. I mean, did you see the ratings for those first two episodes? Ouch. Anyway, next week's episode is fairly action-packed, so let's get to it: Hannah chooses Ray, which leads Nick to finally realize that it's time to move the frak on. It also leads Road to go the flashback route, showing us Nick and Hannah's first encounter as kids and then when they dated as teens. Meanwhile, Owen learns the details of Allison and Ikey's affair by going on Nick's "infidelity tour," and Eddie and Hannah are hiding a big secret from Nick that Eddie is chomping at the bit to spill.
Question: I promise to abandon all other Pac 10 school allegiances — and I do have other allegiances — and root for USC in whatever bowl game they play in if you can tell me when Sci Fi will air BSG: Razor again.— Lee
Ausiello: I hope one of those other allegiances isn't UCLA, 'cause them Bruins are gonna get their asses handed to them this Saturday in the Coliseum — and I'm going to be there to witness the whole thing firsthand! I'll be sitting in Section 20, Row 81, Seat 16, but please, I beg of you, don't try to find me. I'm looking forward to being out of the spotlight for a few days. (Prior to the game, say around 11:30-11:45 am, I'll be standing in front of Tommy Trojan with my friends Holly and Sheryl. But please, if you're in the area, resist the temptation to come over and ask me to pose for a picture. This is Booty's day, not mine.) But back to your question: Unfortunately, Sci Fi has no plans to rerun Razor. However — and this is a big however — the flick will be available on DVD beginning Dec. 4.
Question: Thank you so much for the news that Life was picked up for a full season. — Sarah
Ausiello: I did good, right?
Question: I love Chuck! — Melissa
Ausiello: Well, you’re in luck, cause that one was renewed, too!
Question: I just read a rumor that Katee Sackhoff might be leaving Bionic Woman. Is it true? — Rob
Ausiello: What it is is a moot point, since there may not even be a Bionic Woman for her to come back to. There's only one episode left in the can, and it airs tonight. And given the ratings, there's no guarantee it'll go back into production when the strike ends.
Question: I'm dying to see clips of you hosting last month's Scrubs Farewell Tour. Help! — Michael Ausiello
Ausiello: OK, that's freaky. Not only is your name Michael Ausiello, but, like me, you too are infatuated with me. Spooky. And the coincidences don't end there: It just so happens that this week's Ausiello Report vodcast features exclusive, never-before-seen footage from the Nov. 10 Scrubsapalooza. I couldn't have set this up better if I had written the question myself!
Question: Any spoilers on House?— PE
Ausiello: Yes, and it's a fairly big one. Even though Cutthroat itch was the final doc voted off House's island last night, I have it on good authority that we have not seen the last of Anne Dudek on House. For more on that, head over to my Ausiello Report blog later today.
Question: In your last vodcast, you said you were going to tell us who was up for the role of Dana Delany's ex on Desperate Housewives. So, I guess my question to you is, are you a man of your word? — Jason
Ausiello: I am most definitely a man of my word when put on the spot in front of billions of people. The actor who was up for the role of Katherine's infamous ex once had his *r***s *a**n by *n***n* *****n*.
Question: Got anything on CSI Miami? — Shakera
Ausiello: As you know, Elizabeth Berkley has been cast as Horatio's ex-wife and the mother of his teenage son. Well, what you may not know, is that she's trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for Prevaricator. Not only does she have a history of con artistry, but she may also be a murderer.
Question: Any news on the "name" actor CSI: NY is trying to get to play a childhood friend of Mac's on CSI: NY? — Rebecca
Ausiello: The "name" is Frank Grillo of Prison Break/Guiding Light fame, and his first airdate is tonight.
Question: My guess for your "Hit Show's Star Wants Deal of the Century" blind item is Anthony LaPaglia. — SILuedde
Ausiello: Nope, but you're driving in the right neighborhood.
Question: I'm single female from Russia and look for liaison. My name is Marinochka and I'm 27 y.o. Need you! — Marinochka
Ausiello: If anyone in our I.T. department is reading this, it looks like that new spam filter has sprung a leak. Either that or our demo has expanded to include illiterate Russian whores aged 18-34.
Question: No mention of Xander on Criminal Minds? Seriously? I kind of expect more from you. — Tricia
Ausiello: And whose fault is that? If you must know, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get your hopes up. Yeah, that's it. With the strike and all, there's a very real chance that his brief appearance last week may be the first and last we ever see of him.
Question: Oh your Ausiello-ness, do you know which Darling child isn't Tripp's on Dirty Sexy Money?— Jenn
Ausiello: Yes, and so will you after watching tonight's episode. (Spoilery hint: Blair is safe. Ditto the twins.)
Question: If the writers' strike comes to an end soon, can 24 still make the 2008 schedule? — Allan
Ausiello: That's a very good question. And, in light of reports that a deal could be imminent (please God let it be true), it's one Fox is wrestling with as we speak. One unsubstantiated rumor currently making the rounds is that the network may opt to split the current season of 24 in two, airing the first 12 episodes in the spring and the last 12 in the fall. Not sure how I feel about that. Actually, that's a lie. I'm fairly certain I hate it. --Message edité par geneviève-2 le 2007-11-28 18:14:38--

Hey, tubers! Thanks for all your TV-licious Q's this week. Let's dig right in, starting with the Official possibility of a bun in the oven...Yeee!
Cris in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada: The Office Angela's pregnant! Please tell me the one good thing about the strike is that once it's over, they can write the pregnancy in as Dwight's baby! Dwight as a dad = hilarious!
(1) Congratulations, real-life Angela! (2) Did you know that Office boss Greg Daniels, Angela Kinsey (Angela) and Paul Lieberstein (Toby) are all related via Liebersteiniosity? Remind me to make friends with Paul's mama, 'cause I wanna have Christmas dinner at that house! (3) She better be pregnant on the show, and it better be Dwight's (not—horrors!—some kind of Andyspawn), because, seriously, she's due in May and that is sweeps, so this is a gimme. (4) I would give up one of my own ovaries to hear Dwight Schrute's theories on pregnancy, birth and childrearing. Can you imagine?!
G in Chicago: "Lost Without Lost: A Haiku"
Where are my people?
Sandy beaches, shirtless men
Die, hiatus, die!
(Please, please tell me you have some tiny little morsel of info to share on Lost? I’m dying here!)
Ha!...Or make that Ha-lle-freaking-lujah! I do! Check out the spoiler section below, mon cheri!
Jer in McAllen, Texas: Your new photo is sooo Top Model! Any scoop on that dramafest? How about Project Runway?
Wow, I guess all my ANTM viewing finally paid off! Thank you. [Blush.] Okay, regarding PR: Heidi Klum is coming to town! (She sees you when you're sloppy, she sees all your mistakes, she knows if you dress bad or good, so dress good for goodness' sake!) Heidi is starring in the Paley Center for Media roundtable about Project Runway next Tues., Dec. 4, and I'm moderating. Yay! If you have any Q's about Runway, seasons one through now, email me at tvdiva@eonline.com, and I'll get you A's!
Chrissy in Oak Park, Illinois: So, I'm assuming Michael Vartan's show got canceled, since it hasn't been on for weeks. I'm angry!
Actually, ABC put Big Shots on hiatus for November sweeps, but it's back this Thursday and has a few eps in the hopper—including the one guest starring Charisma Carpenter. Said ep airs Dec.13!
Jennifer in Toluca Lake: Do you have any scoop on The Hills? I'm sorry, but it's the best show on TV. Do you think Heidi and Spencer will actually get married?
Sources tell me their plans are still in the works, though they've settled down regarding the casting of people in the wedding (perhaps because they were outed...hmmm?). And by the way, am I the only one who thinks Whitney's new squeeze Jarrett is kinda adorable? He gave her free personal training, picked her up for a date, treated her with respect and paid the bill. This just might be the best guy ever on The Hills! Still, spoiler alert! I just so happen to know it didn't work out between the two of them, because Whitney apparently moved on and started dating someone here at E! (no, not Korbi, not Moondust, not Teddy C...).
Sharon in Gainesville, Florida: I loooove The Hills, and I am totally Team L.C.! I'm even gonna buy L.C. designs for all my female family members this Christmas.Go for the handbags. Lauren just released a new line that includes a clutch, a coin purse and a tote. FYI, don't miss tonight's installment of the show, because Spencer's sister makes her debut, and she confronts your girl quite aggressively. It's a cannot-miss ep.
Diana in San Diego: I miss Logan's partner from last year on Criminal Intent—the redhead with the pixie haircut, not the new redhead. What happened to her? Is she ever coming back?
A L&O: CI show rep assures me that Julianne Nicholson (the pixie redhead, Det. Megan Wheeler) is returning to the show next year. She's been on maternity leave, with Alicia Witt (the new redhead) filling her shoes in the meantime as Det. Nola Falacci. Alicia shot six eps of the show, and her last installment airs when the show returns from winter hiatus. (Nicholson was great, wasn't she? It took me a while to get used to her, but I think Julianne's chemistry with Chris Noth is the best of anyone's since Jerry Orbach. Can't wait until she's back on the cases!)
Danielle in Van Nuys, California: I can't escape the billboards for that Tin Man movie. Is it any good?
Granted, I'm a wee bit biased because I have a Wizard of Oz collection the size of Jack Donaghy's cookie jar collection (seriously), but I think it's divine! It's a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, and if Sci Fi were lame (like me), the tagline should be something like, "Everything you think you know about the land of Oz is wrong (but cooler than you ever imagined)." The cast is top-drawer, the writing is even better, and if you like Lost, Battlestar or Pushing Daisies, plan to love it, because it's something like a mashup of all three (plus, Zooey Deschanel from Weeds). I foresee Pirates of the Caribbean/Harry Potter/Wicked-scale fandom erupting after y'all have seen it. And if not, I'll be starting a one-woman fan club.
Jenny in Sherman Oaks, California: I went to the So You Think You Can Dance show in L.A. this week, and it was awesome! Any scoop on the cast?
Sí! Korbi went backstage after the show and said the kids were in very good spirits, getting ready to drive up to San Fran for a big Thanksgiving dinner together (and their next performance). Kameron told her they're just trying to really enjoy these last couple weeks of the tour, because it's quickly coming to a close. The posttour plan? He's moving to New York with season-two finalists Ivan and Travis, while B-girl Sara's hitting L.A. And Neil has already booked a movie, which everyone's psyched about! By the way, guess who else she spotted backstage: Karen Darling! Turns out the very sweet Natalie Zea is a huge fan of SYTYCD and was totally thrilled to be meeting the dancers. I knew I liked her.
Chris in Syracuse, New York: I'm a big fan of Wonderfalls. Any chance of Bryan Fuller and Lee Pace reuniting with any of the cast on Pushing Daisies? Also, rumor has it Veronica Mars' Rob Thomas is resurrecting Cupid—true?
Sadly, we heard through the grapevine last year that the cancellation of Wonderfalls just about broke Caroline Dhavernas' heart—so much so that she can't bear to take on another American series full-time. But...maybe a guest stint? Cross your fingers! (Speaking of Pushing Daisies, Mike White and Molly Shannon costar in the next ep as Hansel and Gretel types—a brother and sister duo with a predilection for candy. Love it!) As for Cupid, yes, it's true! Jeremy Piven won't be involved, but Rob is working up a new version for ABC! Don't forget. More R.T. in the world = more smiles.
Maria in Chicago: Why did October Road premiere on Thanksgiving? It couldn't have done very well in the ratings—most of my friends had no idea it was back.
True dat. Even the brand-new Seth Green-graced episode of Grey's Anatomy hit a ratings low with barely 14 million total viewers. Road aired after that, and lost more than half the audience, averaging about 6 million. The good news is it settles into its regular time slot (10 p.m. on Mondays) tonight, and the Weeds season is over, so we can all watch OR if we so desire. (Personally, I'm having a hard time getting into it. Can you diehards help me? I wanna love it!)
Melissa in Hammond, Indiana: I was just wondering if and/or when there are going to be new episodes of The Girls Next Door?Season four premieres Sun., Dec. 9 at 10 p.m. Look for 12 eps total this season. Jen is already parked in front of the TV with her popcorn and a bottle of gin. (Take a shot every time Kendra is tardy, Bridget talks to Winnie like she's a person and/or Holly mentions her stint at Hooters!)
Eric in Santa Barbara, California: I missed Battlestar Galactica: Razor! Will it ever be re-aired, or is there someplace on the Internet where I can find it?
Direct to DVD, baby! Razor comes out on DVD Dec. 4, 2007. And Christmas stockings around the nation open wide...Speaking of which, we've seen the season-four preview from the bonus features—check the spoiler section for more.
SPOILERS
Heather in Miami: My sincerest condolences that your Hawaii trip was canceled. Is there no justice in the time of the strike?! Anyway, why don't you make it up to yourself by telling us some Lost scoop.
Thanks, Heather. Anyone wanna help me drown my sorrows with some mai tais? As you may know, the Lost production office is an impenetrable fortress of secrecy these days, but I was able to dig up a little scoop that I certainly found fascinating! Sources tell me the series most definitely flashes backward and forward in this season—and until the series ends...yeee! I'm also hearing we get quite a few new characters courtesy of Marsha Thomason's character, Naomi. Word is, Naomi summoned them via walkie-talkie before Locke busted that knife in her back. So, newbies are a-comin'!
Tanya in Chino, California: Only two episodes left of Heroes! Any scoop on what happens? Are the eps good?
I've heard of what happens but haven't seen them yet, and I can tell you this: I'm highly alarmed by the body count at the end of next week's episode. If one death in particular isn't a fake-out (that is, if he or she doesn't come back when the show returns), I will be asking you to join me for the rioting, looting and hissy-fitting that is only appropriate with a death of this kind of fan favorite.
Yuley in Germany: I cannot stand Rose on Grey's Anatomy! Please tell me she will take her sicky paws off Patrick Dempsey.
Hey now! I'm not saying I like Rose and McDreamy together (jury's still out, if you ask me), but I have to tell you that Lauren Stamile, who plays Thorny, is quite a lovely person—inside and out—so let's not go crazy with the hate, 'kay? That said, you'll have plenty of reason to put a fist through your TV in the next couple of episodes if you are not a fan of the McThorny pairing, 'cause, well, there's a little lip-on-lip action on the way! Yep, you heard me. McDreamy is puckering up to Miss Prickly. Good thing or bad? Comment below!
Harrison in Rhode Island: The last episode of Grey's was fantastic! So many lives hanging in the balance. Any word on who'll survive?
I know Nurse Rose "saves the day" when it comes to McDreamy's computer-gremlin-riddled surgery, so I'd bet good money on that patient surviving...and on the experience making Derek swoon.
Tori in Sonoma, California: Brothers & Sisters is so good. Please spill!
Gladly. Stand by for lots of exclusive Brothers & Sisters video clips from my time hanging out on set with the Walkers! Those are coming later this week. Meanwhile, the romances are heating up, no?! Last night's episode had me all swoony with that Lyle Lovett serenade at the Hollywood Bowl for Kitty...(not that my hubby doesn't do things like that all the time, but jeesh!). Anyway, look for Saul to finally begin accepting his homosexuality when he goes on a date with a man named Evan, and for Nora to cozy up to Danny Glover's character, Isaac. (Poor Chevy!)
Grace in Asheville, North Carolina: I love Friday Night Lights, but I feel like there's an element of romance missing. Last season, we had Lyla and Jason, Lyla and Tim, Tim and the neighbor, Julie and Matt, Smash and Waverly and, of course, the coach and Tami to tide us over. This year, not so much.
Take heart! There is love (and lust) in the Dillon air, and you'll bear witness to it very soon. First of all, Matt Saracen has a couple of balls in the air...and I ain't talking 'bout his football game. As you know, the cheerleader has sunk her claws into him, but the heat between Matt and Nurse Carlotta keeps him from making a commitment to either of 'em! Also, Jason's got a date or two in the near future: One goes south fast, while another may turn into something long term. Of course, Julie's got forbidden teacher love on the brain, and stay tuned for some good Smash action as well.
Erin in Reston, Virginia: Any updates on my old fave ER?
In an upcoming ep, Sam and Gates...flirt?! Say whaaa? It's subtle, but it's there, and it's kind of freaking me out! What do you guys think of that pairing? Post in the Comments below!
Brenna: OMG! This Tuesday is the big Bones kiss! I am so looking forward to it! But I need to know, is anything good gonna happen for them after it? Love you, Kristin!
All I can say is that in the last scene of the last episode before Bones goes off the air (because of the strike), there's an event that's much, much bigger for Bones and Booth than a li'l ol' kiss...and not in a good way. Gaaah! (Oh, and thanks for the love, my dear.)
Kathie in West Haven, Connecticut: I love Gossip Girl, and I need a gossip fix! Can you tell me if Serena's mom and Chuck's dad are still together? They never made it clear whether she forgave him or not.
She did. Lily van der Woodsen and Bart Bass (or should I say L&B) are sooo on, and word is Serena is quite surprised when she finds out. XOXO, TV Gossip Girl.
James in Chicago: Chuck?
Most important, there's another great heart-to-heart moment coming up between Sarah and Chuck (how toe-tingly was that kiss?!). Also, Chuck's cover is finally exposed, causing him to leave town and go under permanent security, and at Buy More, Big Mike's giant marlin is stolen and the cops believe it's an inside job.
Stephanie in West Chester, Ohio: Do you have any idea about what happens on the Psych holiday episode?
Well, Gus' dad kills an old guy...Kidding, that's just the title, but an old guy does die, Corbin Bernsen keeps the boys in check by being his usual hilarious self, and "Lassie" becomes a holiday pet of Juliet's family. Sort of. In other exciting Psych news, people who know things tell us that creator Steve Franks is directing the season finale. Yays!
Christopher in Concord, California: What's coming up on Dirty Sexy Money?The Darling family secrets do not stay hidden forever. I'm hearing we'll finally know the truth about which Darling kid is Nick's half-sibling this Wednesday! Word is, more info about Dutch and Letitia's affair is learned as well.
Jessica in Orlando, Florida: Anything on Aliens in America? Will Justin ever go on a date?
Yes, Justin is finally getting a girlfriend! In an upcoming episode. He dates an unpopular girl named Donna, who informs him that his French-kissing skills need fine-tuning. Also, Raja gets some lovin' as well from a girl named Sadika.
Janelle in Austin, Texas: October Road! October Road!
Nick's mother, who passed away years ago, had a secret her son soon uncovers.
Kristen in Winter Park, Florida: Can you give us any news about Law & Order: Criminal Intent? I'm a total junkie when it comes to that show...
Ben Vereen stars in the final episode of the fall as a minister entangled in the murder of four college boys. Word on the street says his performance is a major standout. Also, over on L&O: SVU, an upcoming case focuses on a secluded Orthodox Jewish community called Kiryas Joel after several children are raped by a 14-year-old classmate. Can you feel my goosebumps of creep from there?
Linda: Loved Battle star Galactica:Razor. However, I could not hear what the old man in the tub said! Grrr...please tell me what I waited nearly two hours to hear and then miss. Thank you so say we all.
He said, "Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end." I say, "The end and the beginning are always the same thing," but that's just me. As for the season-four preview, Tricia Helfer spills that there is going to be a new Six, who goes by the name of Natalie; Jamie Bamber says the first 10 eps are all about the secret Cylons; and Ronald D. Moore promises we meet the final Cylon before the end of season four. There's also a season-four trailer that includes one particularly intriguing shot: Kara lying on the floor of a Galactica hallway screaming, "We're going the wrong way!" Mmmm...
Kara in Fort Lee, New Jersey: Can you please tell me why the actress playing Nathan Fillion's ex-lover from Chicago looks so familiar? I've been trying to figure it out since she unexpectedly showed up at his door last night on Desperate Housewives!
Her name is Melora Walters, and you know her because she is crazy Wanda Henrickson from Big Love! You know, Joey's weirdo wife who has a penchant for poisoning people?! Turns out she'll be playing a loon on Desperate Housewives, too, and sources are saying Tom Scavo is her next victim! Do you remember when we reported back in October that Tom would be seen having dinner with an annoying hussy? Turns out that hussy is the same lady who wreaked havoc on Adam and Katherine Mayfair's marriage back in Chi-town

It took me a while to get used to her, but I think Julianne's chemistry with Chris Noth is the best of anyone's since Jerry Orbach. Can't wait until she's back on the cases!)
Danielle in Van Nuys, California: I can't escape the billboards for that Tin Man movie. Is it any good?
Granted, I'm a wee bit biased because I have a Wizard of Oz collection the size of Jack Donaghy's cookie jar collection (seriously), but I think it's divine! It's a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, and if Sci Fi were lame (like me), the tagline should be something like, "Everything you think you know about the land of Oz is wrong (but cooler than you ever imagined)." The cast is top-drawer, the writing is even better, and if you like Lost, Battlestar or Pushing Daisies, plan to love it, because it's something like a mashup of all three (plus, Zooey Deschanel from Weeds). I foresee Pirates of the Caribbean/Harry Potter/Wicked-scale fandom erupting after y'all have seen it. And if not, I'll be starting a one-woman fan club.
Jenny in Sherman Oaks, California: I went to the So You Think You Can Dance show in L.A. this week, and it was awesome! Any scoop on the cast?
Sí! Korbi went backstage after the show and said the kids were in very good spirits, getting ready to drive up to San Fran for a big Thanksgiving dinner together (and their next performance). Kameron told her they're just trying to really enjoy these last couple weeks of the tour, because it's quickly coming to a close. The posttour plan? He's moving to New York with season-two finalists Ivan and Travis, while B-girl Sara's hitting L.A. And Neil has already booked a movie, which everyone's psyched about! By the way, guess who else she spotted backstage: Karen Darling! Turns out the very sweet Natalie Zea is a huge fan of SYTYCD and was totally thrilled to be meeting the dancers. I knew I liked her.
Chris in Syracuse, New York: I'm a big fan of Wonderfalls. Any chance of Bryan Fuller and Lee Pace reuniting with any of the cast on Pushing Daisies? Also, rumor has it Veronica Mars' Rob Thomas is resurrecting Cupid—true?
Sadly, we heard through the grapevine last year that the cancellation of Wonderfalls just about broke Caroline Dhavernas' heart—so much so that she can't bear to take on another American series full-time. But...maybe a guest stint? Cross your fingers! (Speaking of Pushing Daisies, Mike White and Molly Shannon costar in the next ep as Hansel and Gretel types—a brother and sister duo with a predilection for candy. Love it!) As for Cupid, yes, it's true! Jeremy Piven won't be involved, but Rob is working up a new version for ABC! Don't forget. More R.T. in the world = more smiles.
Maria in Chicago: Why did October Road premiere on Thanksgiving? It couldn't have done very well in the ratings—most of my friends had no idea it was back.
True dat. Even the brand-new Seth Green-graced episode of Grey's Anatomy hit a ratings low with barely 14 million total viewers. Road aired after that, and lost more than half the audience, averaging about 6 million. The good news is it settles into its regular time slot (10 p.m. on Mondays) tonight, and the Weeds season is over, so we can all watch OR if we so desire. (Personally, I'm having a hard time getting into it. Can you diehards help me? I wanna love it!)
Melissa in Hammond, Indiana: I was just wondering if and/or when there are going to be new episodes of The Girls Next Door?Season four premieres Sun., Dec. 9 at 10 p.m. Look for 12 eps total this season. Jen is already parked in front of the TV with her popcorn and a bottle of gin. (Take a shot every time Kendra is tardy, Bridget talks to Winnie like she's a person and/or Holly mentions her stint at Hooters!)
Eric in Santa Barbara, California: I missed Battlestar Galactica: Razor! Will it ever be re-aired, or is there someplace on the Internet where I can find it?
Direct to DVD, baby! Razor comes out on DVD Dec. 4, 2007. And Christmas stockings around the nation open wide...Speaking of which, we've seen the season-four preview from the bonus features—check the spoiler section for more.
SPOILERS
Heather in Miami: My sincerest condolences that your Hawaii trip was canceled. Is there no justice in the time of the strike?! Anyway, why don't you make it up to yourself by telling us some Lost scoop.
Thanks, Heather. Anyone wanna help me drown my sorrows with some mai tais? As you may know, the Lost production office is an impenetrable fortress of secrecy these days, but I was able to dig up a little scoop that I certainly found fascinating! Sources tell me the series most definitely flashes backward and forward in this season—and until the series ends...yeee! I'm also hearing we get quite a few new characters courtesy of Marsha Thomason's character, Naomi. Word is, Naomi summoned them via walkie-talkie before Locke busted that knife in her back. So, newbies are a-comin'!
Tanya in Chino, California: Only two episodes left of Heroes! Any scoop on what happens? Are the eps good?
I've heard of what happens but haven't seen them yet, and I can tell you this: I'm highly alarmed by the body count at the end of next week's episode. If one death in particular isn't a fake-out (that is, if he or she doesn't come back when the show returns), I will be asking you to join me for the rioting, looting and hissy-fitting that is only appropriate with a death of this kind of fan favorite.
Yuley in Germany: I cannot stand Rose on Grey's Anatomy! Please tell me she will take her sicky paws off Patrick Dempsey.
Hey now! I'm not saying I like Rose and McDreamy together (jury's still out, if you ask me), but I have to tell you that Lauren Stamile, who plays Thorny, is quite a lovely person—inside and out—so let's not go crazy with the hate, 'kay? That said, you'll have plenty of reason to put a fist through your TV in the next couple of episodes if you are not a fan of the McThorny pairing, 'cause, well, there's a little lip-on-lip action on the way! Yep, you heard me. McDreamy is puckering up to Miss Prickly. Good thing or bad? Comment below!
Harrison in Rhode Island: The last episode of Grey's was fantastic! So many lives hanging in the balance. Any word on who'll survive?
I know Nurse Rose "saves the day" when it comes to McDreamy's computer-gremlin-riddled surgery, so I'd bet good money on that patient surviving...and on the experience making Derek swoon.
Tori in Sonoma, California: Brothers & Sisters is so good. Please spill!
Gladly. Stand by for lots of exclusive Brothers & Sisters video clips from my time hanging out on set with the Walkers! Those are coming later this week. Meanwhile, the romances are heating up, no?! Last night's episode had me all swoony with that Lyle Lovett serenade at the Hollywood Bowl for Kitty...(not that my hubby doesn't do things like that all the time, but jeesh!). Anyway, look for Saul to finally begin accepting his homosexuality when he goes on a date with a man named Evan, and for Nora to cozy up to Danny Glover's character, Isaac. (Poor Chevy!)
Grace in Asheville, North Carolina: I love Friday Night Lights, but I feel like there's an element of romance missing. Last season, we had Lyla and Jason, Lyla and Tim, Tim and the neighbor, Julie and Matt, Smash and Waverly and, of course, the coach and Tami to tide us over. This year, not so much.
Take heart! There is love (and lust) in the Dillon air, and you'll bear witness to it very soon. First of all, Matt Saracen has a couple of balls in the air...and I ain't talking 'bout his football game. As you know, the cheerleader has sunk her claws into him, but the heat between Matt and Nurse Carlotta keeps him from making a commitment to either of 'em! Also, Jason's got a date or two in the near future: One goes south fast, while another may turn into something long term. Of course, Julie's got forbidden teacher love on the brain, and stay tuned for some good Smash action as well.
Erin in Reston, Virginia: Any updates on my old fave ER?
In an upcoming ep, Sam and Gates...flirt?! Say whaaa? It's subtle, but it's there, and it's kind of freaking me out! What do you guys think of that pairing? Post in the Comments below!
Brenna: OMG! This Tuesday is the big Bones kiss! I am so looking forward to it! But I need to know, is anything good gonna happen for them after it? Love you, Kristin!
All I can say is that in the last scene of the last episode before Bones goes off the air (because of the strike), there's an event that's much, much bigger for Bones and Booth than a li'l ol' kiss...and not in a good way. Gaaah! (Oh, and thanks for the love, my dear.)
Kathie in West Haven, Connecticut: I love Gossip Girl, and I need a gossip fix! Can you tell me if Serena's mom and Chuck's dad are still together? They never made it clear whether she forgave him or not.
She did. Lily van der Woodsen and Bart Bass (or should I say L&B) are sooo on, and word is Serena is quite surprised when she finds out. XOXO, TV Gossip Girl.
James in Chicago: Chuck?
Most important, there's another great heart-to-heart moment coming up between Sarah and Chuck (how toe-tingly was that kiss?!). Also, Chuck's cover is finally exposed, causing him to leave town and go under permanent security, and at Buy More, Big Mike's giant marlin is stolen and the cops believe it's an inside job.
Stephanie in West Chester, Ohio: Do you have any idea about what happens on the Psych holiday episode?
Well, Gus' dad kills an old guy...Kidding, that's just the title, but an old guy does die, Corbin Bernsen keeps the boys in check by being his usual hilarious self, and "Lassie" becomes a holiday pet of Juliet's family. Sort of. In other exciting Psych news, people who know things tell us that creator Steve Franks is directing the season finale. Yays!
Christopher in Concord, California: What's coming up on Dirty Sexy Money?The Darling family secrets do not stay hidden forever. I'm hearing we'll finally know the truth about which Darling kid is Nick's half-sibling this Wednesday! Word is, more info about Dutch and Letitia's affair is learned as well.
Jessica in Orlando, Florida: Anything on Aliens in America? Will Justin ever go on a date?
Yes, Justin is finally getting a girlfriend! In an upcoming episode. He dates an unpopular girl named Donna, who informs him that his French-kissing skills need fine-tuning. Also, Raja gets some lovin' as well from a girl named Sadika.
Janelle in Austin, Texas: October Road! October Road!
Nick's mother, who passed away years ago, had a secret her son soon uncovers.
Kristen in Winter Park, Florida: Can you give us any news about Law & Order: Criminal Intent? I'm a total junkie when it comes to that show...
Ben Vereen stars in the final episode of the fall as a minister entangled in the murder of four college boys. Word on the street says his performance is a major standout. Also, over on L&O: SVU, an upcoming case focuses on a secluded Orthodox Jewish community called Kiryas Joel after several children are raped by a 14-year-old classmate. Can you feel my goosebumps of creep from there?
Linda: Loved Battle star Galactica:Razor. However, I could not hear what the old man in the tub said! Grrr...please tell me what I waited nearly two hours to hear and then miss. Thank you so say we all.
He said, "Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end." I say, "The end and the beginning are always the same thing," but that's just me. As for the season-four preview, Tricia Helfer spills that there is going to be a new Six, who goes by the name of Natalie; Jamie Bamber says the first 10 eps are all about the secret Cylons; and Ronald D. Moore promises we meet the final Cylon before the end of season four. There's also a season-four trailer that includes one particularly intriguing shot: Kara lying on the floor of a Galactica hallway screaming, "We're going the wrong way!" Mmmm...
Kara in Fort Lee, New Jersey: Can you please tell me why the actress playing Nathan Fillion's ex-lover from Chicago looks so familiar? I've been trying to figure it out since she unexpectedly showed up at his door last night on Desperate Housewives!
Her name is Melora Walters, and you know her because she is crazy Wanda Henrickson from Big Love! You know, Joey's weirdo wife who has a penchant for poisoning people?! Turns out she'll be playing a loon on Desperate Housewives, too, and sources are saying Tom Scavo is her next victim! Do you remember when we reported back in October that Tom would be seen having dinner with an annoying hussy? Turns out that hussy is the same lady who wreaked havoc on Adam and Katherine Mayfair's marriage back in Chi-town

Spoiler Chat: Prison Dish and Lost Scoop!
Categories: spoiler chat
Ruth in London: I feel like my man Wentworth Miller has been MIA for months now. Any idea where he is?
Just as I was working up a “Where’s Wento?” graphic with my former future husband in a dashing red and white hat, my buddy Marc Malkin found him! Even better, he’s been spotted in this town...And even better than that, he’s coming to your living room tonight (hubba-hubba). Don’t forget: Prison Break is back on Fox with five new episodes, and I have scoop on the new season down yonder in the Spoiler Section, as well as the Dominic Purcell interview you may have seen here. For the record, I'm officially back in. (Sorry, Sara/h fans...I just can't resist! Wenty’s powers are...too...strong!)
Andy from San Diego: Are we going to be seeing Penny next season on Lost?
First off, 17 days and counting till the premiere—thank you, Jesus! Now, for what it's worth, according to find815.com, Penelope Widmore is still involved in the search for Desmond, and her search has been connected to the crash of flight 815—her phone number shows up in a notebook belonging to Sam Thomas, the man we are following through the Find815 story. By the way, if you're a Sonya Walger fan, check your TiVo: She had a blink and you'll miss her part in last night's Terminator premiere.
Julia in San Diego: Lost! I just read somewhere that Sawyer might not make it through the season. Please save me from a true panic attack and tell me Sawyer isn't going anywhere!
Yes, Sawyer's going to be killed off in episode six, and from what I understand, that will be the show's last-ever mention of the character. Audiences just never warmed up to him, and the writers realized it was best to simply give his off-putting storyline a swift, clear-cut end. (I'm kidding. Seriously now, with all the stressing going on at tvdiva@eonline.com, I worry you guys are all gonna give yourselves aneurysms. I promise you, if Sawyer were to eventually get killed off, which I consider unlikely in the extreme, the show would at least do it, Nate Fisher style—that guy is gonna be around until the end, in one way or another.)
Carla in Camilla, Georgia: Can you tell me what's going on with the writers' strike? I'm clueless, and I just want to know if it will end soon.
Sadly, there's currently no end in sight. The Writers Guild of America and the AMPTP, which represents networks and studios, haven't even been at the negotiating table since early last month. The current season is most likely shot. If you're looking for a prediction on the actual timeline, I'll defer to CBS president and CEO Les Moonves, who said on Thursday he's guardedly optimistic it'll be over in "the next few months." Let's hope so. Besides the lack of good shows, there is the more serious problem of all the affected people who are out of work and feeling the financial effects of the strike. Let's hope it's resolved soon, for their sake.
Matt in Calabasas, California: Do you know when the next Real World/Road Rules Challenge starts? Any scoop?
The Gauntlet III (which is the 15th edition of RW/RR Challenge!) premieres Jan. 23, and T.J. Lavin is hosting once again. It'll be veterans vs. rookies, and guess who's back to battle? Queen Coral! She's accompanied by many others, of course, including Diem, San Diego Brad, San Diego Robin, Crazy Beth, Crazy Katie and Crazy Paula from Key West. And the rookie I'm most excited about? The now-crazy Las Vegas Frank.
Kyle in O'Fallon, Illinois: What happened to Chuck? It was my favorite new show, and I thought NBC had a couple of new episodes they were going to air, but I haven't heard anything since the last new episode they aired. So, any word on when those episodes might air?
Happily, these episodes are scheduled for Jan. 24. Weirdly, however, they are the bread in a Celebrity Apprentice sandwich. The first new Chuck airs at 8 p.m., then Celebrity Apprentice airs at its regular time, and then the last new Chuck episode of the season airs at 10. Sad. I have had to type "last episode" way too often recently. How about we find a new word for it...maybe...spumoni? (Seems more palatable.)
Carol in White Plains, New York: I know y'all are major fans of 30 Rock just like me. I'm so afraid it's not gonna return after the writers' strike. Is it still struggling in the ratings?
Last Thursday's spumoni attracted almost 6 million viewers, which isn't great, but it does show that the series has gained a few more fans this season, and I can't imagine in my wildest dreams (which, like Tracy's, often involve robots and Napoleon) that Ben Silverman would off this show, especially after the show's Emmy win and Tina's Globe win. That would just be silly.
Starscream in Chicago: How awesome was it that Tina Fey won last night? 30 Rock
It was so very awesome. Meanwhile, if you're jonesing for a little 30 Rock action even though they are out of new eps, you can catch Alec Baldwin on the aforementioned Celebrity Apprentice. Little bro Stephen "calls in a favor" with Alec, who comes by to help him on a challenge. It's not much, but at least it's something.
Jen in San Francisco: I just saw that Dexter is now going to be on CBS. Is it even worth watching the network TV version?
Yes, at least according to Julie Benz, aka Rita herself (with an adorable new brunette look, by the way, thanks to her just wrapped gig on The Punisher II: War Zone). While she was at the Nine West booth at the Access Hollywood gift lounge, she told me they have always been ready for the show to air somewhere other than premium cable. She says, "As we were shooting both seasons, we always did TV coverage for the dialogue for syndication purposes, if down the line it was ever going to air on another network. We already have that in the can, and most of the violence on the show is insinuated...I do know they'll take my naked butt out of it." FYI, I believe that in addition to removing some of the swear words and Julie's adorable naked butt, the eps will all be cut at least a few minutes shorter. The Showtime versions run about 52 minutes, and broadcast drama episodes usually run about 43 minutes, so we may lose a few comedic C-stories...
Dru in Santa Fe, New Mexico: Did you guys see the Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus? Since it's a cartoon, it's not those kid actors from the show, who are awesome, but maybe this will blossom into Simpsons success à la The Tracey Ullman Show?
Okay, Shawn and Gus are equally awesome as adults, as kids and as cartoons. How many characters can you say that about!? Not the Muppets, that's for sure.
Ragna in Reykjavik: Why do you hate Supernatural so much? Did Jared and Jensen snub you at some event?
Okay, let me try to clear this up: I have nothing at all against Supernatural or One Tree Hill—honestly!—and certainly nothing against Jared or Jensen (please), and I truly apologize for the misunderstanding. Just to clarify what happened: The only reason I took One Tree Hill and Supernatural out of the TV Throwdown Poll (which, looking back, was, um, perhaps not the best name) was because, with 28 and 29 percent of the entire vote, respectively, all the other 100-plus shows had only 1 to 2 percent each, and therefore could not be ranked. As I said, the whole point of this poll was to get a sense of which shows you readers want to hear more about. So, I thought it was okay to announce that Supernatural and One Tree Hill had the most votes and then open it up to the other shows so they could be ranked as well. Does that make sense? I really hope so, and I apologize for not being clearer the first time. Bottom line: I got the message loud and clear that you like these shows, and I will do my best to serve you!
SPOILERS
Thomas in Detroit: Prison Break is here—wooo! What can you tell us? Will Michael break out?
Yes, he will. And here's what else is notable and surprising (at least to me!):
Michael starts off in solitary but will be running free very soon.
Not all the escapees will make it out alive. (Gulp.)
Lincoln and Sucre try to off Susan in a very kaboomy way.
Lincoln meets up with L.J. one last time.
Lincoln is shot.
Marcus in Alabama: Will we get a full season of Prison Break?
We get only five more eps, which is a total of 13 (unless the strike ends like, oh, now-ish). But the good news is the 13th episode was planned to be the "winter finale" (aka the midseason break), so unlike other series, it will feel as though it is a real ending to the season. It will be very satisfying spumoni.
Yessie in New Jersey: One thing that's always bothered me: Why do Michael and Lincoln have different last names? Prison Break?
I get this question all the time, so I asked Dominic himself to clear it up. He says: "Lincoln took his dad's surname, and Michael took his mom's surname. When they were divorced, she reclaimed her maiden name, and he decided to go with her name." Easy-peasy, right? (My guess is the real reason it happened that way was so the prison folk wouldn't be on to Michael's association with Linc in the first season.)
Tom in Cleveland: I'm an old Lost fan—and by old Lost fan, I mean I'm nearing 40 years old. I have a theory that I'm hoping you might validate. If it's true, then I want to coin a new "shipper" term, too. And that's this: We'll discover that Kate's with...a freighter! My bets are on Jeremy Davies. If so, then we have our Skaters, our Jaters and our "Keighters"!
Yeah, because it's not like there are enough people who already have a vested interest in Kate's love life! Jeez, what kind of trouble are you trying to stir up? Anyway, as far as I know, none of the boaties are getting in any of the Lostie's pantaloons, but they might be getting in their heads in a very interesting way.
Jackie in Athens, Illinois: Did you hear that Lauren and Whitney were fired from Teen Vogue recently? Is it true? The Hills
Well, fired is a harsh word. I heard it was an amicable parting, but the rumor is that Teen Vogue was not interested in being a part of the show anymore. What? Lisa Love wasn't happy with the way she was portrayed?! Actually, I hear there are several changes in store for Lauren and the ladies of The Hills. Sources say Ms. Conrad is moving out of the tiny apartment she shares with Audrina, as she's recently purchased a Spanish-style home in Hollywood. (Also, like her last place, not actually in the hills, but who's counting?)
Jessica in Bloomington, Indiana: I absolutely love Women's Murder Club! Any word about what's next?
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Bupkes. The wine-counterfeit episode was the last prestrike episode. The good news is, Lindsay is safe (for now) from the Kiss Me Not Killer. The bad news is, no more show (for now).
Sam in Chihuahua, Mexico: Thank you so much for answering a Jacket question. We don't get as much attention as Skate and Jate, it's really sad. So, it's hopeless to ship Jacket for season four, right? Lost
Patience, grasshopper, until at least episode six, which is a Juliet ep. I hear you Jacketeers will like that one.
Laurie in Adair County, Kentucky: Can you tell me if Jessi is still alive on Kyle XY?! I need to know!
Let me just say that if you're a fan of the girl, tonight's premiere should satisfy you.
Kate in Plymouth, Michigan: What's coming up on Cashmere Mafia?
A gossip girl's got it out for Caitlin. Well, kinda. I'm hearing our lesbian-in-training will be outed on a sleazy Website. By the way, word is Caitlin will soon realize she's really more bisexual in nature.
Carmen in Wichita, Kansas: Will we ever see Mia's ex, Jack Cutting (Tom Everett Scott), on Cashmere Mafia again?
Sure will. She tries to make that cutie jealous in just a couple of weeks.
Nicole in New York: Okay, Friday's episode of Moonlight made me cry. I have to know what happens next. Any scoop?
Good news for you Coraline fans: She's at the center of this Friday's ep, she's so not doing her "I'm human!" thing anymore, and we delve into the history of her infamous "fleur-de-lis" and her past life in 18th century France.
Jen in Los Angeles: Hey, so, my pet Friday Night Lights theory is that Lyla's mom is the one getting pregnant. Am I close?
You are so far off...Although one of the parties involved doesn't get much more screen time than Lyla's mom.
April in Bethesda, Maryland: Can you tell us anything more on the Bones cliffhanger? Does the person who's suffering physically have anything to do with the cliffhanger, or is that a different part of the episode altogether?
Yep, you've got it. The cliffhanger and the suffering are one and the same, and I'm pretty sure either way, the cliffhanger will leave all of us fans suffering until new eps of Bones come back, somewhere, somehow...Sigh.
Marcia in Austin, Texas: Not that you'll answer, because you are pure evil, but any scoop on Supernatural?
For now I can tell you the show returns Jan. 31 with an episode I personally inspired: Sam and Dean confront a terrible and wicked witch who just happens to know a few secrets from Ruby's past while they're at it.
XOXO, Beelzebub
Marc in Naples, Florida: So excited that Medium is back. Any dish?
Meredith's mom and Alex P. Keaton's dad are guesting! Next Monday, Kate Burton and Michael Gross play parents with a missing daughter and a possible job for Joe. Allison, obviously, is so on that case. Also, we learn about another missing person: Cynthia Keener's (Anjelica Huston) daughter, MIA for 10 years now. Muy interesante, no?
Sara in Superior, Wisconsin: I loved the pilot for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Does it stay good?
Yes, indeed, thanks in no small part to Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood, John from Cincinnati), who joins the show next Monday. I caught up with him somewhere between the Spanx corner and the FragFX videogame booth at Access Hollywood's gift lounge over the weekend, and he told me, "Owain Yeoman and I are both Cromartie, which is all the same robot underneath—he just needs a new flesh suit. I show up in episode three, and I'll be following them around for a while. When we got to where we stopped because of the strike...I actually haven't even met them yet, but I do interact with a lot of people who get in my way, and the FBI guy Richard T. Jones is on my tail." It's gonna be a little awesome.

Last Thursday's spumoni attracted almost 6 million viewers, which isn't great, but it does show that the series has gained a few more fans this season, and I can't imagine in my wildest dreams (which, like Tracy's, often involve robots and Napoleon) that Ben Silverman would off this show, especially after the show's Emmy win and Tina's Globe win. That would just be silly.
Starscream in Chicago: How awesome was it that Tina Fey won last night? 30 Rock
It was so very awesome. Meanwhile, if you're jonesing for a little 30 Rock action even though they are out of new eps, you can catch Alec Baldwin on the aforementioned Celebrity Apprentice. Little bro Stephen "calls in a favor" with Alec, who comes by to help him on a challenge. It's not much, but at least it's something.
Jen in San Francisco: I just saw that Dexter is now going to be on CBS. Is it even worth watching the network TV version?
Yes, at least according to Julie Benz, aka Rita herself (with an adorable new brunette look, by the way, thanks to her just wrapped gig on The Punisher II: War Zone). While she was at the Nine West booth at the Access Hollywood gift lounge, she told me they have always been ready for the show to air somewhere other than premium cable. She says, "As we were shooting both seasons, we always did TV coverage for the dialogue for syndication purposes, if down the line it was ever going to air on another network. We already have that in the can, and most of the violence on the show is insinuated...I do know they'll take my naked butt out of it." FYI, I believe that in addition to removing some of the swear words and Julie's adorable naked butt, the eps will all be cut at least a few minutes shorter. The Showtime versions run about 52 minutes, and broadcast drama episodes usually run about 43 minutes, so we may lose a few comedic C-stories...
Dru in Santa Fe, New Mexico: Did you guys see the Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus? Since it's a cartoon, it's not those kid actors from the show, who are awesome, but maybe this will blossom into Simpsons success à la The Tracey Ullman Show?
Okay, Shawn and Gus are equally awesome as adults, as kids and as cartoons. How many characters can you say that about!? Not the Muppets, that's for sure.
Ragna in Reykjavik: Why do you hate Supernatural so much? Did Jared and Jensen snub you at some event?
Okay, let me try to clear this up: I have nothing at all against Supernatural or One Tree Hill—honestly!—and certainly nothing against Jared or Jensen (please), and I truly apologize for the misunderstanding. Just to clarify what happened: The only reason I took One Tree Hill and Supernatural out of the TV Throwdown Poll (which, looking back, was, um, perhaps not the best name) was because, with 28 and 29 percent of the entire vote, respectively, all the other 100-plus shows had only 1 to 2 percent each, and therefore could not be ranked. As I said, the whole point of this poll was to get a sense of which shows you readers want to hear more about. So, I thought it was okay to announce that Supernatural and One Tree Hill had the most votes and then open it up to the other shows so they could be ranked as well. Does that make sense? I really hope so, and I apologize for not being clearer the first time. Bottom line: I got the message loud and clear that you like these shows, and I will do my best to serve you!
SPOILERS
Thomas in Detroit: Prison Break is here—wooo! What can you tell us? Will Michael break out?
Yes, he will. And here's what else is notable and surprising (at least to me!):
Michael starts off in solitary but will be running free very soon.
Not all the escapees will make it out alive. (Gulp.)
Lincoln and Sucre try to off Susan in a very kaboomy way.
Lincoln meets up with L.J. one last time.
Lincoln is shot.
Marcus in Alabama: Will we get a full season of Prison Break?
We get only five more eps, which is a total of 13 (unless the strike ends like, oh, now-ish). But the good news is the 13th episode was planned to be the "winter finale" (aka the midseason break), so unlike other series, it will feel as though it is a real ending to the season. It will be very satisfying spumoni.
Yessie in New Jersey: One thing that's always bothered me: Why do Michael and Lincoln have different last names? Prison Break?
I get this question all the time, so I asked Dominic himself to clear it up. He says: "Lincoln took his dad's surname, and Michael took his mom's surname. When they were divorced, she reclaimed her maiden name, and he decided to go with her name." Easy-peasy, right? (My guess is the real reason it happened that way was so the prison folk wouldn't be on to Michael's association with Linc in the first season.)
Tom in Cleveland: I'm an old Lost fan—and by old Lost fan, I mean I'm nearing 40 years old. I have a theory that I'm hoping you might validate. If it's true, then I want to coin a new "shipper" term, too. And that's this: We'll discover that Kate's with...a freighter! My bets are on Jeremy Davies. If so, then we have our Skaters, our Jaters and our "Keighters"!
Yeah, because it's not like there are enough people who already have a vested interest in Kate's love life! Jeez, what kind of trouble are you trying to stir up? Anyway, as far as I know, none of the boaties are getting in any of the Lostie's pantaloons, but they might be getting in their heads in a very interesting way.
Jackie in Athens, Illinois: Did you hear that Lauren and Whitney were fired from Teen Vogue recently? Is it true? The Hills
Well, fired is a harsh word. I heard it was an amicable parting, but the rumor is that Teen Vogue was not interested in being a part of the show anymore. What? Lisa Love wasn't happy with the way she was portrayed?! Actually, I hear there are several changes in store for Lauren and the ladies of The Hills. Sources say Ms. Conrad is moving out of the tiny apartment she shares with Audrina, as she's recently purchased a Spanish-style home in Hollywood. (Also, like her last place, not actually in the hills, but who's counting?)
Jessica in Bloomington, Indiana: I absolutely love Women's Murder Club! Any word about what's next?
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Bupkes. The wine-counterfeit episode was the last prestrike episode. The good news is, Lindsay is safe (for now) from the Kiss Me Not Killer. The bad news is, no more show (for now).
Sam in Chihuahua, Mexico: Thank you so much for answering a Jacket question. We don't get as much attention as Skate and Jate, it's really sad. So, it's hopeless to ship Jacket for season four, right? Lost
Patience, grasshopper, until at least episode six, which is a Juliet ep. I hear you Jacketeers will like that one.
Laurie in Adair County, Kentucky: Can you tell me if Jessi is still alive on Kyle XY?! I need to know!
Let me just say that if you're a fan of the girl, tonight's premiere should satisfy you.
Kate in Plymouth, Michigan: What's coming up on Cashmere Mafia?
A gossip girl's got it out for Caitlin. Well, kinda. I'm hearing our lesbian-in-training will be outed on a sleazy Website. By the way, word is Caitlin will soon realize she's really more bisexual in nature.
Carmen in Wichita, Kansas: Will we ever see Mia's ex, Jack Cutting (Tom Everett Scott), on Cashmere Mafia again?
Sure will. She tries to make that cutie jealous in just a couple of weeks.
Nicole in New York: Okay, Friday's episode of Moonlight made me cry. I have to know what happens next. Any scoop?
Good news for you Coraline fans: She's at the center of this Friday's ep, she's so not doing her "I'm human!" thing anymore, and we delve into the history of her infamous "fleur-de-lis" and her past life in 18th century France.
Jen in Los Angeles: Hey, so, my pet Friday Night Lights theory is that Lyla's mom is the one getting pregnant. Am I close?
You are so far off...Although one of the parties involved doesn't get much more screen time than Lyla's mom.
April in Bethesda, Maryland: Can you tell us anything more on the Bones cliffhanger? Does the person who's suffering physically have anything to do with the cliffhanger, or is that a different part of the episode altogether?
Yep, you've got it. The cliffhanger and the suffering are one and the same, and I'm pretty sure either way, the cliffhanger will leave all of us fans suffering until new eps of Bones come back, somewhere, somehow...Sigh.
Marcia in Austin, Texas: Not that you'll answer, because you are pure evil, but any scoop on Supernatural?
For now I can tell you the show returns Jan. 31 with an episode I personally inspired: Sam and Dean confront a terrible and wicked witch who just happens to know a few secrets from Ruby's past while they're at it.
XOXO, Beelzebub
Marc in Naples, Florida: So excited that Medium is back. Any dish?
Meredith's mom and Alex P. Keaton's dad are guesting! Next Monday, Kate Burton and Michael Gross play parents with a missing daughter and a possible job for Joe. Allison, obviously, is so on that case. Also, we learn about another missing person: Cynthia Keener's (Anjelica Huston) daughter, MIA for 10 years now. Muy interesante, no?
Sara in Superior, Wisconsin: I loved the pilot for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Does it stay good?
Yes, indeed, thanks in no small part to Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood, John from Cincinnati), who joins the show next Monday. I caught up with him somewhere between the Spanx corner and the FragFX videogame booth at Access Hollywood's gift lounge over the weekend, and he told me, "Owain Yeoman and I are both Cromartie, which is all the same robot underneath—he just needs a new flesh suit. I show up in episode three, and I'll be following them around for a while. When we got to where we stopped because of the strike...I actually haven't even met them yet, but I do interact with a lot of people who get in my way, and the FBI guy Richard T. Jones is on my tail." It's gonna be a little awesome.
