- Nathan Fillion is back on TV in ABC's "Castle" starting March 9, 2009. It is purportedly a "witty drama" and Fillion's character is "out of control" so let's hope this is more fun than Fillion's previous vehicle, "Drive" and lasts longer than "Firefly" (sob).
- Harrold Perrineau is listed as a cast member in a new cop show, "The Unusuals". This can only mean, at the very least, less of Perrineau's character, Michael Dawson on "Lost". Personally, I want to see a violent end for Michael followed by cast-wide amnesia regarding his existence hereafter.
- Joss Whedon's latest foray into television, "Dollhouse" will premiere on Fox on February 13, 2009. Whedon fans, being the pessimistic sort prone to rallying around a cause, prematurely campaigned to save the show back in May. One has to wonder what kind of sadistic delight TV executives take in causing Whedon fans to jump at the shadow of cancellation while continuing to inflict "Heroes" on us long after any fan has ceased to care for it.
- Warning - "Battlestar Galactica" January 16 episode spoiler: Really, did anyone shed a tear at the death of Lt. Dualla? How else is Lee going to live happily ever after with Kara? Then again, I applauded when Cally Tyrol flew out into space. I'm a terrible person - long live the Cylons!

It seems like Joss Whedon will never catch a break. He needs to find a network that will recognize that some series take longer than a few episodes to catch its stride.
NBC canceled a few shows recently that I really enjoyed; "Journeyman" and "My Own Worst Enemy"; so I'm considering not watching any new NBC shows until the second season.
I'm hoping they keep "Chuck" around for at least another season.
