Finally - new programming to talk about! Yesterday, we saw the return of ABC’s Sunday night block and got a taste of what NBC’s offering in the dance department. Despite a nice outing for its premiere, Superstars of Dance still couldn’t best Desperate Housewives’ numbers. Meanwhile, an earlier game between the Eagles and Vikings gave FOX the overall win in the viewers and the demos.

Although the image of actress Sharon Gless (Colleen Rose) turning a Hollywood agent into a large Build-A-Bear is still fresh on my mind, it’s surprisingly been a year since was last on air. (The show was temporarily halted in February 2008 because of the writers’ strike.)

So where exactly did the series leave off? Julia was shot by Eden, Christian and Annie were involved in a car accident on their way to the hospital, Matt started sleeping with his half-sister and Sean was stabbed in the back (literally) by Colleen.

To get a clue as to what the remaining episodes of Season 5 have in store for us, check out the preview above. Nip/Tuck returns to FX this Tuesday, January 6th at 10:00.

Balthazar GettyAs we’ve learned from the behind the scenes drama at , ABC doesn’t have a problem saying goodbye to difficult actors. Unfortunately, that’s a lesson Balthazar Getty may be learning the hard way.

According to multiple sources, Getty could soon be getting more time to divide amongst his four kids and his new squeeze. While there’s a chance the actor may be let go from Brothers & Sisters altogether, it’s believed he will at the very least be downgraded from full-time status next season.

These rumors come not-so-coincidentally after reports of increased tension on the program’s set. Balthazar’s affair with Matthew Rhys’ ex has cause him to lose fans since this past summer. His recent work performance and attitude supposedly haven’t helped either. Although I’m sure the 33-year-old’s relationship with Sienna Miller played some part in the personnel decision, Entertainment Weekly claims “budgetary and storyline considerations” were also factors.

So what does this mean for fans of the show? There’ll be one less person yelling around that Walker dinner table. (And that’s a good thing.)

Secret Life of the American TeenagerIn the middle of all the winter reality and new small-screen comedies, ABC Family’s surprise hit will reappear next month. That’s right: is returning Monday, January 5.

The first season was split into two as the show began to create more buzz and excitement. The eleventh episode “Just Say No,” the last to air before the fall break, drew more than four and half million viewers. It’s official: the family drama is a success.

Ten more episodes will now air for the second season, bringing viewers up-to-date on all the relationships, twists and, of course, the status of Amy Jergens (Shailene Woodley) and her as-yet-unborn baby. For those who want a refresher, ABC Family will air the first eleven episodes in an all-day marathon January 4.

Can’t sit in front of the TV that Sunday? The first season of the series will also be available on DVD as of December 30.

If Dollhouse‘s last trailer had you on the fence, this sneak peek may tell you exactly what you need - and want - to know.

In this clip from the show’s premiere episode, Topher (Fran Kranz) and Boyd (Harry Lennix) reference the “wiping” that is done to their agents’ memories. (The operation has memories and personalities completely erased after each mission.) Question is: Does this teaser make you wish you could forget too?

premieres February 13 on FOX.


Although CBS falls behind its competitors in the news department, the network is having no problems with its entertainment division. Another day, another win for the Eye.
