19/01/10 - TV News Weekly Review #15 - Welcome back, Carter!

Yes, it should've been done 9 days ago, but it's not my fault that eztv broke exactly that day, right? :< Anyways, I'm glad that I can unload all these news, 'cause my bookmarks folder "TV News" is just overflowing. And I must say up front, that some news might be old, so, sorry.

Moving on:

- The new USA show White Collar renewed for a second season! Hulk happy!
- Mia Kirshner (24, The L Word) joins the cast of The Vampire Diaries for a reccurent role. Her episode will air this Thursday. (Bleh)
- As you probably noticed, Better Off Ted and Scrubs are airing two episodes a week. Why? Well, me thinks that it will be axed very soon. (Source)
- To those who watch Nurse Jackie, remember Mo-Mo? Well, he's out for the second season. (Noooo!)
- Mister Simon I-hate-everything-and-everyone-and-only-an-elephant-on-a-monocycle-makes-me-impressed Cowell, leaves the American Idol. Well, maybe they'll cancel it? (please please please) [edit:]nope, THREE more seasons of AI was ordered. (Hulk mad)
- Ok, a little Dexter spoiler for those, who still don't watch it:

(More here)
- Kim Raver becomes a regular in this little soap called Grey's Anatomy. Not that anyone cares.

- More spy drama by USA. This is called Covert Affairs and will star Piper Perabo as Annie Walker, a multilingual CIA trainee who is suddenly pushed into a field position because of an ex-boyfriend who is of certain interest to her agency. (Walker.. Walker.. I know that name from somewhere)
- There will be a little crossover between The Cleveland Show and Glee. Well, the first one is still crap anyway, so let me know which episode will it be. (Source)
- Some of you probably were worried about Lost's premiere, because Obama's national address the same night as the premiere. Well, it's all safe. (Ufff)
- YaY, someone's back to Chuck! I won't tell, but I think you know! (YaY)
- To Bones fans, remember when in the start of the News Reviews, I said, that it would be a flashback episode to Booth's and Brennan's first investigation? Well, it will be soon and Zack is coming back for it! (Hurray for the old crew!)
- If anyone except me watches Glee - there will be a Madonna-theme episode. (Setlist) [edit:] Also, Glee will be back for a second season! Me so happy!)
- The biggest failure of 2009, FlashForward, pushes the return date for two weeks, from March 4 to March 18. I smell "cancel" in the air.
