Great discussion of the lengths fans go to save TV shows, and how they are starting for find ways that actually work. Mailing stuff to the studio is on the decline (despite Terra Nova’s dinosaurs), while social media is making more of an impact.

If the burn-off schedule and low ratings weren’t enough to convince you that Bent is doomed, perhaps this will: star David Walton has been cast in a CBS comedy. The premise of this show sounds very similar to the movie Maid of Honor, with the male lead realizing he’s in love with his long-time best friend, just as she gets engaged to someone else.
Glad Walton has a chance to move to CBS, after getting burnt by NBC two years in a row.

Richard Castle, star of ABC’s Castle, showed up on another ABC show – in an author endorsement on a spy novel in Missing!
Another actor from the Whedonverse is joining Castle this season (and possibly next!) – Tahmoh Penikett! He’s probably best known for playing Helo on the epic space drama Battlestar Galatica, but he also had a major role in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse as FBI agent Paul Ballard.
On Castle, he’ll be playing Cole Maddox, who’s “cold, calculated and has a military background,” in the season finale May 7th.

Super-cute video preview of the next episode of Bones! Six weeks after giving birth (even though that episode aired just a week ago), Brennan tries to rationalize leaving little Christine at the Jeffersonion’s day care, while Booth assures her everything will be fine. Little Stapes isn’t much help as she gives her parents adorable facial expressions. Could they have picked a cuter baby to play the role?

To top off last night’s preview, TVLine has some additional pics of the Firefly reunion on next episode’s Castle reunion (airing April 16 – next Monday’s a repeat, but the last repeat until the season finale). The episode is entitled “Headhunters.”

I enjoy Glee’s music (though not much else about the show – too much soap opera melodrama and agenda-pushing), but I’m a huge fan of White Collar’s Matt Bomer, so when I heard Bomer would be playing Blaine’s brother on the show, I knew I would have to check it out.
My own brother recently got me addicted to Gotye’s music, so I was excited to hear that Bomer and Criss would be covering “Somebody That I Used to Know.” Here’s a video preview of that cover:

More backstory on Rumpelstiltskin, hints at August’s true identity, what more could you ask for in an upcoming episode of Once Upon a Time? Besides these awesome pictures, of course.

Looking forward to catching the episode in half an hour! And adding someone with a British accent to an episode is always a good thing! Hope Beckett figures out what’s going on soon.

We finally get a peek at the Clueless reunion on Suburgatory! Doesn’t Alicia Silverstone look like she’s about to say, “As if!” to Jeremy Sisto in this photo? Silverstone’s first episode airs April 18th.

Season two of Alphas is about to start filming! Joining the team this year is Detroit 1-8-7’s Erin Way, who plays an Alpha named Kat. Kat is able to pick up any skill for a brief period of time, but the downside of her ability is that the skill, and her memories, fade quickly.
The show will begin airing its 13-episode second season this July.

People who were worried about The Big Bang Theory affecting Community’s ratings can relax a little – Community’s rating is exactly what it was last week, when CBS was airing basketball. Even better, it was rated higher than 30 Rock, which follows Community in a less competitive timeslot.
Not so good are the ratings for NBC’s Awake, and ABC’s Missing. I’ve only caught one episode of Missing so far and thought it was decent, but I’ll be really sad to see Awake go. It puts such a cool twist on a crime drama (would have loved to see it following NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles on Tuesdays on CBS instead of Unforgettable).
Covert Affairs is getting some new faces, among them One Tree Hill alum Daniella Alonso, who will be playing therapist to the DPD. Also, Arthur’s ex-wife is returning, and Annie will get a new mentor.

Great interview with Laura Allen, who plays Michael Britten’s (Jason Isaacs) wife Hannah on Awake. It’s interesting how the two worlds Britten finds himself in also divide the cast.

So happy we get more Bones, especially since it has been so scarce this year. I think it’s really encouraging that the show was renewed before the studio even had a chance to check out ratings in the new Monday timeslot. The Fox drama will have seven all-new episodes in a row, starting April 2 (8/9 central).
