This week: 30 Rock, Army Wives, Bones, Desperate Housewives, ER, Friday Night Lights, Lost, My Name Is Earl, NCIS, Prison Break, Scrubs and Shark.

30 Rock

Jack Donaghy’s dream of creating a TV show that strands a bunch of middle-aged whores-for-hire on a deserted island is about to become a reality. The show is casting a slew of attractive females in their late thirties to early fifties to serve as contestants on the fictitious “MILF Island”. The twist? The male contestants courting the hot mamas on the show-within-a-show are described as being “of eighth-grade age.” [Michael Ausiello]

Army Wives

Production starts in March with original episodes kicking off in June. [Michael Ausiello]

Bones

In addition to the four pre-strike episodes, two new episodes will be produced, and then all six will air on consecutive Mondays beginning April 14. [Michael Ausiello]

Desperate Housewives

The tax man cometh to Wisteria Lane, and he’s in his late twenties, very sexy and answers to the name Tim. He’s also Susan’s cousin and he arrives to help Mike fill out his 1040s and gets into a little mischief along the way. The show is also casting a teenaged version of the character. Apparently, Tim witnessed a tragic event when he was 18, and producers want us to see it! [Michael Ausiello]

ER

According to sources, ER has been ordered for a 22-episode season 15. [Kristin@E!Online]

Friday Night Lights

NBC gave Taylor Kitsch permission to take a major role in the forthcoming X-Men spin-off Wolverine, which essentially KO’s any chance the show had of coming back this season. [Michael Ausiello]

One option NBC is considering for Friday Night Lights is to “wrap it up” as a two-hour movie of the week. The show has already been looked at by at least a few other networks, but so far, no new home. [Kristin@E!Online]

Lost

Libby actually pops up in the final pre-strike episode (now airing in late April), and the original plan was for her to return for at least one or two more this season. Whether or not that’s still happening is an open question. [Michael Ausiello]

Andrea Roth plays somebody from Juliet’s past in the March 6 episode. [Michael Ausiello]

The person who dies is an original 815er. And as far as major Lost deaths go, this one veers from tradition in one significant way. [Michael Ausiello]

In tomorrow’s episode Locke delivers two eggs over easy to Ben in solitary. Wait until you see the breakfast he whipped up for his other prisoner. Hint: It’s bursting with flavor and, if digested properly, quite the appetite suppressant. [Michael Ausiello]

Miles may not be around much longer as Ken Leung has joined TBA by Carla Ching which open on March 13. [Michael Ausiello]

My Name Is Earl

Series creator Greg Garcia says that Alyssa Milano will be back for “a bunch” of the final nine episodes. [Michael Ausiello]

NCIS

The show reportedly has been picked up for an extralong 28-episode season six. [Kristin@E!Online]

Prison Break

A fourth season is pretty much a lock. [Michael Ausiello]

Scrubs

It’s looking very good that NBC will give the show the proper send-off (i.e., several new episodes culminating with a series finale) it deserves. [Michael Ausiello]

Shark

Producers want to bring in a big-name actress to replace Jeri Ryan during her absence. One option that was being bandied about pre-strike was bringing back previous guest star Sherry Stringfield to fill the void. Not sure if that’s still in the cards. [Michael Ausiello]
