90210
Someone is going to be diagnosed with a disease, and one of our couples is breaking up. [Watch With Kristin]
Naomi will definitely be getting new digs when the high school student moves out of her mother’s house and into a four-star hotel — the staff of which becomes a dysfunctional family of sorts for the bratty teen. [TV Guide]
Bones
According to executive producer Hart Hanson, yes. “We definitely want to have him back,” he says. “But you risk picking that scab too much and people going, ‘Aw, bring Zack back forever.’” [Michael Ausiello]
Hanson says the rotating intern experiment has an expiration date. “We don’t to do the Murphy Brown thing,” he says. “But we’re getting a lot of good stories out of these new people coming in and shaking things up in the lab.” Two more interns are on the way, including a devout Muslim (played by Pej Vahdat) and someone who is hearing impaired (not yet cast). [Michael Ausiello]
The new Muslim intern above makes Angela a soothing mix tape after her heart is broken by Roxie. [Michael Ausiello]
Hart Hanson says that the Angela/Hodgins love story is not over. “We’re not done with them,” he says. “But they have some obstacles to overcome.” [Michael Ausiello]
Brothers and Sisters
The original plan was for Saul’s boyfriend, played by John Glover, to come and go in just a couple of episodes, but I’m told that after his initial departure, all is not lost for Andrew and Saul—producers plan to bring him back for a second stint later this season. [Watch With Kristin]
Chuck
Joshua Gomez (Morgan) talking about the upcoming Sports Illustrated swimsuit model episode. “There is a scene where I had to be disrobed, and that’s a tough act to follow. I mean, they’re very pretty, but me naked is a whole other world of pain!” [Watch With Kristin]
Criminal Minds
Episode 18 focuses on a resurgent serial killer known as the Watchman. Hotch covered the original case back when he was just a young’un, and we’ll get some insight into how he grew into the awesome yet emotionally unavailable man he is today. [Watch With Kristin]
CSI: New York
Hill Harper talking about upcoming episodes, “The assistant mayor of New York gets killed at his own ball.” Harper revealed, “My ex-girlfriend comes back, and we catch her rapist from years ago.” [Watch With Kristin]
Executive producer Peter Lenkov promises “more intense character drama, as well as our trademark ‘only in New York’ stories. We’ll continue Stella’s pursuit of the man who tried to kill her and introduce a new nemesis for Mac, a media mogul played by Craig T. Nelson.” Lenkov goes on to say there are plans to “revisit” the Flack/Angell “thing,” but while Adam and Stella “play nice together, I am not sure there’s a romance there.” [TV Guide]
Damages
The first minute of the premiere will send shivers down your spine. Ellen (Rose Bryne) holds someone at gunpoint, wanting some answers, but who is at the other end of the barrel? Whoever it is will be dead by the end of the episode, but in true Damages style, the season will be set six months in the past, when Ellen is in therapy, Patty (Glenn Close) is having nightmares and Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson) is still alive! Plus, Timothy Olyphant sets the stage for the future gun-toting Ellen. [Watch With Kristin]
Eli Stone
The 13th episode will air December 30 and “bring us full circle to the Patchouli Peaks. [TV Guide]
Watch for Katie Holmes’ character, Grace, to get a mention in one of the remaining shows. [TV Guide]
Flight of the Conchords
The new season is just a week away – online at least – with FunnyOrDie.com streaming the premiere on Dec. 17 at noon ET, a full month in advance of its HBO debut. This season, look for Bret and Jemaine to attempt to jump-start their careers by filming an edgy, truth-challenged biopic about the band that borrows liberally from Star Wars. [TV Guide]
Gossip Girl
Lily is going to be attacked…by someone she knows. [Michael Ausiello]
While this week’s episode may have led you to believe that Serena has chosen Aaron, don’t count on that choice being permanent. Lonely Boy will be much less so after the holiday. B and Bass, on the other hand, definitely will not be kissing each other when the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. [TV Guide]
Heroes
Kristen Bell isn’t returing to the show, but someone else is. [Michael Ausiello]
A blonde in a new romance is going to die, and at first she’ll seem to be done for, but then we will learn that it’s all a cover-up—she’s still breathing. [Watch With Kristin]
Peter will not be without abilities for too much longer. In fact, he’ll be flying high within a few short episodes. [Watch With Kristin]
In the Fugitives volume we’ll see that creating supersoldiers isn’t Nathan and Tracy’s primary objective. They’re less interested in engineering than they are in command and control issues. Think Guantanamo Bay, only their version of Camp X-Ray actually has people who can do X-rays with their brains. [Watch With Kristin]
Brea Grant said she’s not on the plane of heroes that crashing in Fugitives: “I’m looking for them while that’s happening . . . at the beginning [of Fugitives], a bunch of stuff happens, and I’m trying to find my true love (aka Matt Parkman). I’ve been kidnapped and there are people who have been chasing all of us, and they’ve been hired by the government.” [Watch With Kristin]
House
In the January 19 episode, Foreman and Thirteen are referred to as Foreteen! [Michael Ausiello]
Cuddy is going to ask Cameron to take over her job. But offering is very different from accepting. And accepting is very different from maintaining. [Michael Ausiello]
Lost
While Season 5, premiering January 21, gets off to a generally strong start, it’s Episode 6 — The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham — that could really blow the roof off the joint. Gotta love Locke. Er, I mean Jeremy. [TV Guide]
Medium
The show is now casting for Joe’s (Jake Weber) sister, Mara, who is described as a divalicious 35-year-old who behaves more like a 25-year-old. Mara comes to stay with her brother Joe after her husband cheats on her, and while she’s in the house, she begins inducting the girls into the worlds of veganism and cheeseball reality TV. [Watch With Kristin]
Prison Break
At minimum, Prison Break will deliver six more episodes after its beyond-midseason break, for a total of 22. Should Fox decide this is the series’ final season, the buzz is that two additional hours will be tacked on, to properly wrap things up. [TV Guide]
Next week we learn what Scylla really is and say goodbye to a series regular. During the December 22 winter finale, plan to bid another major player adieu. (Ed Note: I’m guessing Sucre this week and Gretchen December 22) [TV Guide]
The Big Bang Theory
Sheldon and Leonard soon will confront a staunch nemesis in a showdown that will test their mettle (and metal) as men and nerds. That’s right: Get ready for robot wars. [TV Guide]
They were filming outside the Aquarium [of the Pacific in Long Beach] and saw Wentworth and Sarah and was able to watch some of the filming. I found a crew call report later with some details about the episode. It was for episode 418, ‘VS.’ The episode had Michael, Sara, Lincoln, Mahone, T-Bag, Self and two other people named Christina and Downey. In the first scene it says ‘Mahone arrives, not Linc. Michael can’t believe Mahone will still work for the Company.’ So apparently Michael is still alive and with Sara, and apparently Mahone is working for the Company again! [Watch With Kristin]
The past continues to haunt the boys. In an upcoming episode, Lincoln tries to get access to information locked in his mom’s safe-deposit box, but the bank isn’t playing ball unless Linc gets a court order. [Watch With Kristin]
Privileged
Megan might be leaving the Baker girls! In the finale few episodes of the season, Megan will fulfill her dreams and get a job at a magazine. [Watch With Kristin]
Psych
Remember the Yin Yang serial killer? Shawn sure does, so he’s understandably freaked when he/she makes a comeback in the season 3 finale on February 20. The episode also features the return of Cybill Shepherd and Rachael Leigh Cook, and a special appearance by an iconic brat packer in a pivotal role. [Michael Ausiello]
Pushing Daisies
The series finale will no longer end on a cliffhanger. Through the magic of post-production, Bryan Fuller and his team managed to tack on a completely new beginning and ending to the episode. “We’re doing a lot of work in post to shape it so that it is satisfying for the audience,” Fuller says. [Michael Ausiello]
ABC may burn off air Daisies’ final three episodes on one night in early January. Episode 9 airs tonight and 10 next week. [Michael Ausiello]
Rescue Me
Maura Tierney is joining the cast as a potential love interest for Denis Leary’s Tommy. “She’s a female version of Tommy,” explains Leary of her character, who appears in five episodes of the upcoming fifth season and could return for a longer run in season 6. “She’s feisty, she’s stubborn, and she doesn’t need any help from anybody, especially a man. She’s never played a character like this before.” [Michael Ausiello]
Sheila’s son, Damian (Michael Zegen) is the new probie! “He decides that he wants to take his father’s badge number and we pull some strings and get him assigned with our crew,” says Leary. “It’s Sheila’s worst nightmare, because she had been gently nudging him to doing something else, anything other than becoming a firefighter. And now he wants to be another Tommy.” [Michael Ausiello]
Samantha Who
Producers are recasting the role of Sam’s ex, Funk, which was originated last season by Deadwood’s Timothy Olyphant. [Michael Ausiello]
Scrubs
Elliot (Sarah Chalke) is in a porno called “Drunk Blondes #1,” then Dr. Maddox (Courteney Cox) fires the Janitor (Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate) and J.D. asks Maddox a lot of questions about her va-jay-jay. [Watch With Kristin]
Smallville
Jimmy will witness Davis Bloom murdering someone. Is he hallucinating? Or does Jimmy know Davis’ secret? And whose side will Chloe take when confronted with this news? [Michael Ausiello]
Supernatural
Sam Winchester and the grim reaper are going to sit down for a friendly game of chess on Supernatural. Look for a Death match—or something like it—in an upcoming episode called Death Takes a Holiday. [Watch With Kristin]
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The show is casting a pair of twentysomething female twins to play a U.S. Navy sailor. [Watch With Kristin]
The Office
The Office is looking for a 45- to 65-year-old female character named Rose who is described as “a very plain, boring, corporate female.” [Watch With Kristin]
The Tudors
By season’s end, Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) hooks up with wife No. 5, Catherine Howard. “She is the most dangerous girl you have ever seen,” says Jonathan Rhys Meyers. “And the girl who plays her is the most dangerous girl you’ve ever seen. She’s extraordinary.” [Michael Ausiello]
