MONDAY 3/9)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Season premiere. “This season, a new feature in the early weeks is a dance-off between the bottom two couples facing elimination.” Steve Wozniak + moon walk = elimination-proof.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): “The guys’ trip to San Francisco takes a detour once they learn that actress Summer Glau (appearing as herself) is on their train.” If you don’t already know who Summer Glau is, you probably shouldn’t be watching this show.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Ted reunites with his college girlfriend (Laura Prepon), prompting Lily and Marshall to reveal how much they loathed the snooty woman.” From what I recall, one can easily bond with Prepon over a quick smoke break.
- Castle (ABC, 10pm): Series premiere. “Well-known mystery writer Richard Castle is questioned by a fiery detective about a serial killer reenacting murders from his books.” Kinda sounds like Basic Instinct, sans a naked Michael Douglas. Or Sharon Stone. Or Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Casting Corner: Ghost Whisperer, Chuck, CSI: NY and More
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, NBC, My Name Is Earl,
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Samantha Who?: When Samantha finally makes its return on March 26, the series will be adding a little bit of crazy. Angie Harmon (Women’s Murder Club) will play Gigi, Winston Funk’s insane ex-wife. As we previously announced, Billy Zane will replace Timothy Olyphant as Christina Applegate’s former beau.

A Belated Ending for October Road
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
Although followers of October Road were left wanting after the show’s cancellation, those devotees could still get a bit of closure. The program’s co-creators (Scott Rosenberg, Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec) have written a 15-minute finale that they hope will answer many questions.
The piece - which sounds very similar to what happened at the end of Felicity - would start with Hannah and Big Cat’s wedding and then immediately jump seven years forward.
The plan is to attach “Don’t Look Back: An Epilogue for an Epic Love” (which has not yet been filmed) to October Road‘s Season 2 DVD and/or air it on the web.

‘October Road’ Returns to ABC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Renewals,
October Road, the show that made a brief appearance last March, will be returning to ABC next month. The show stars Bryan Greenberg as Nick Garrett, a famous author who returns to his home town after 10 years away. (I tell you this because chances are you didn’t watch it either.) Laura Prepon (That 70’s Show) plays Nick’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his possible child.
October will make a one-stint appearance Thursday, Nov. 22nd @ 10pm. It will then slide into its regular time slot starting Monday, Nov. 26th @ 10pm (presumably after The Bachelor is wrapped up).
I hate to say the series won’t last more than another six episodes—but I’ll go and ahead and do just that. The last time a show made a one-time Thursday appearance, it quickly disappeared days later. (If you haven’t guessed, I was referring to Viva Laughlin.) And has anyone else noticed that October is premiering on Thanksgiving?? My bet’s on four new episodes…tops.
