30 Rock
Will Arnett returns next week and he’s newly “straight” and engaged to Don Geiss’ dowdy daughter — a ruse that was funny on paper but is even funnier on screen. View hostess Sherri Shepherd is also back as Tracy’s wife Angie, much to the dismay of Kenneth, who’s tasked with seducing her. [Michael Ausiello]
The first episode of the season is full-on Seinfeld, but the second ep is full-on vintage 30 Rock. Will Arnett and Sherri Shepherd are both back, Kenneth is used and abused by all comers, Jenna does a little roller dancing, and Jack Donaghy continues to rock our world. [Kristin@E!Online]
Big Bang Theory
Wolowitz hooks up with one of Penny’s superhot friends, but sadly, his mom ends up sabotaging it. [Kristin@E!Online]
Bionic Woman
The eerie creepiness of Sarah Corvus in episode two is overshadowed only by the eerie creepiness of Isaiah Washington as Antonio Pope, a new “trainer” hired to work with Jamie. [Kristin@E!Online]
Bones
Look for an upcoming baby-love episode in which Booth and Bones do a little babysitting and are forced to confront some parenting-related feelings, much the same way their standing-at-the-altar moment of last season forced them to confront their repressed romantic feelings for each other. [Kristin@E!Online]
Boston Legal
Katie and Whitney take the case of Jeffrey Bass at the last minute, an ex-police officer accused of second degree murder when he accidentally shot an African American suspect. They want to use an MRI as evidence that it was racially motivated. [SpoilerFix.com]
Brothers and Sisters
Kitty and Senator McCallister take dance lessons for their upcoming wedding, and it turns out McCallister is quite the pro when it comes to the quickstep. [Kristin@E!Online]
Chuck
If you thought Bryce Larkin, aka Chuck’s college roommate, was a goner, guess again. He is returning to the show and is very much alive. [Kristin@E!Online]
Criminal Minds
Nick Brendon is guesting as a (likely recurring) love interest for Garcia. [Kristin@E!Online]
CSI
Producers are adding another new female character that sources say could stick around on a recurring basis. She’s described as an ex-mob wife in her early forties who entered the witness protection program with her son to escape the bad men. I have a strong hunch that this is for the mob-centric episode that William Friedkin is directing this November. I also have a strong hunch that this character may be coming on as a love interest for the newly single Grissom. [Michael Ausiello]
CSI: Miami
They investigate a middle-school drug ring this winter. [Kristin@E!Online]
CSI: New York
The show is planning to introduce the childhood best friend of Gary Sinise’s detective, whom he hasn’t seen in 30 years. Producers are hoping to snag a “name” actor for the part. [Michael Ausiello]
Desperate Housewives
Tom Scavo may be stepping out on Lynette! He kisses a lady named Sylvia—and will later be seen at a romantic dinner with the hussy! [Kristin@E!Online]
Julie will be more wrapped up in the main mystery involving Dana Delaney’s daughter. Edie’s nephew won’t be back anytime soon, but she might end up going on a date with a Tommy Lee type later this season. Susan may get a little freaked over all the tattoos. [Kristin@E!Online]
Dexter
Episode four involves some seriously awesome strategery from both Dexter and Laguerta. They aren’t working together, but boy, I’d love to see what they could do if they ever joined forces. Also, Rita’s mom is a mean ol’ meddler. We may love her. [Kristin@E!Online]
Ghost Whisperer
Orlando Jones has been cast as a popular medium who comes to Grandview this November and ends up butting heads with Melinda. She suspects he’s a fraud and is upset that he’s giving a local woman potentially false hope by agreeing to use his “gifts” to help find her missing daughter. [Michael Ausiello]
Come midseason, we meet another ghost whisperer! Melinda meets a young girl named Becca who also has the ability to speak to the dead. Unfortunately, she’s an orphan. She’s never been able to speak to her dead parents, and her wards always think she’s a crazy liar (rather than a real-live medium). Melinda and Jim work to help her out. [Kristin@E!Online]
Grey’s Anatomy
Derek and Meredith’s relationship actually flourishes under this new arrangement. [Kristin@E!Online]
Burke’s mother drops by Seattle Grace to administer a dose of tough love. And Cristina isn’t the only person she goes all Dr. Phil on. Diahann Carroll takes Meredith to task for the “selfish” and “inappropriate” thing she did in last May’s season finale. [Michael Ausiello]
Derek makes a decision at the end of the second or third episode, and it’s one that’ll make all you Meredth-Derek fans swoon. [Michael Ausiello]
George decides this week to tell Callie the truth about what happened between him and Izzy. [Michael Ausiello]
Heroes
TV Guide’s cover story on “Heroes” reveals that Elle, the Kristen Bell character, is a company girl and that she’ll be turning up in Ireland when she debuts in 2.5. So Peter looks to be staying in Ireland a while.
Milo Ventimiglia talked about Peter’s current state of mind. He said, “I don’t even think he knows he can fly. I think at this point, things are happening to [him], and I don’t know where they’re coming from, and it’s terrifying. It’s got to be terrifying. He’s kind of afraid that people are afraid of him, and he sees the fright in their eyes, and he’s being reactive to everything.” [Kristin@E!Online]
Bob is like Bob from Twin Peaks: evil as hell. We’re looking into the rumors that he’s Matt’s dad (!), and we soon see his ugly mug in the group photo of the nine superpowered elders—i.e., the whole image of the death-threat photos received by Mama Petrelli and Papa Nakamura. [Kristin@E!Online]
How I Met Your Mother
We meet Lily’s big brother later this year. [Kristin@E!Online]
Marshall takes the New York Bar Exam. Ted has been dating Cathy for a few weeks and thinks it’s time to meet the gang. At dinner, he can’t figure out why they don’t like her. When they tell him that she literally can’t stop talking, he sees her in a whole new light. [SpoilerFix.com]
Friday Night Lights
There are at least two major developments in the second episode, airing Oct. 12. One of ‘em involves an old couple (they’re breaking up!), and the other pertains to a new couple (they’re doing the deed!). [Michael Ausiello]
Tim spots his onetime neighbor/honey (Brooke Langton in a blink-and-you-missed-her cameo) in the arms of another man. And not just any man. [Michael Ausiello]
Lost
They’re currently shooting Episode 4, and multiple sources confirm that it’s a Kate-centric outing that features flashbacks and/or flash-forwards. [Michael Ausiello]
Two new, potentially recurring characters are being cast as we speak — and both are described as “military types” in their late twenties who follow orders without question. [Michael Ausiello]
Episode five is currently casting, and they’re looking for actors to play a narcoleptic (hilarity ensues), an R. Lee Ermey-style drill sergeant, three older British guys and two young soldier types, whom we could see on more than a couple of episodes. [Kristin@E!Online]
4.05 could be Desmond-centric. Lost of British soldier types. Also in the eps and possibly recurring, Ray, a coldly professional psychiatrist. [SpoilerFix.com]
Mad Men
There’s a heartbreaking death in this Thursday’s episode. Peggy experiments with an unconventional weight-loss method, Pete steals something that belongs to Don, and, in a PG-13-rated twist, Betty discovers that her washing machine can do more than clean clothes. [Michael Ausiello]
Don’s half-brother returns this week! Guess that $5,000 payoff wasn’t enough. Also, while Roger is out of commission, crafty Don takes an opening. And Pete and Peggy are still having problems, together and apart. [Kristin@E!Online]
Men In Trees
Jack and Marin are intimate but obviously having problems, while Sam and Jane decided to elope. Jane’s parents are little people and Sam doesn’t know it until he meets them for the first time.

Sam, Ben and Sock try getting information from a drugged-out weed head that is hung up on the classics: cars, electronics and more, when they need a Beta tape played. As they are getting ready to watch the tape, a woman drives her car into the house, through the wall, yelling at Sam to give her Kit. He tells her he doesn’t have him. The guys are hanging out and Sock starts dancing crazily. Just as they are about to tell him to cut it out, he is suddenly joined by 5 beautiful, obviously drunk, women. The eight of them sit in the bar together when one kisses Sam and wants to exchange numbers and another asks Sock and Ben if they will strip for their Bachelorette party. Sam later meets up with Taylor, the woman who kissed him and things start to get heated when he puts a stop to it. [SpoilerFix.com]
Scrubs
According to Bill Lawrence, “unless Scrubs miraculously becomes a giant hit in its seventh year,” this season is the last. “It’s the never-say-never cliché,” he adds, “but Zach’s only working this year, and I’m trying to get other things going so I’m not planning [to be back]. I told the whole cast that this is it.” [Michael Ausiello]
After finding themselves in a compromising position, J.D. contemplates his commitment to Kim and Elliot struggles with the idea of her upcoming marriage to Keith. Meanwhile, Carla, to protect her diabetic husband from his sweet tooth, allows Turk to choose one candy bar to indulge in. But with so many options how can he choose just one?

Smallville
That “darker” Lana that executive producer Al Gough’s been teasing? Turns out she’s got a touch of embezzler in her. [Michael Ausiello]

We see the moment that Dean and Sam first found their father’s journal and the realization that monsters are actually real. [Kristin@E!Online]

The Game
Greek’s Scott Michael Foster will guest-star in the Oct. 22 episode of The Game as Brandon, Kelly’s fresh-out-of-rehab kid brother who needs a place to crash. The following week, in an attempt to make Derwin jealous, Melanie ends up in bed with Malik. [Michael Ausiello]
The Office
Jim and Pam are finally happy, so you know what that means: It’s time for Karen to put in an appearance! Rashida Jones is due back on the set next week to shoot scenes at Karen’s new place of employ. Office producers are currently casting the role of her assistant, a twentysomething metrosexual who is friendly and has a good energy. [Michael Ausiello]
Ryan is also in the market for an assistant — and she’s smokin’. According to the casting notice, she’s in her early twenties, businesslike, attractive and smart. [Michael Ausiello]
The Riches
The show is filming the second season right now, and as we understand it, the Malloys stay put in Eden Falls, at least for now.
