Rick Springfield will be playing himself in four episodes of Californication next season. And, because it's Californication, there will be nudity & sex involved. :P

And Ed Westwick will appear in at least one episode of Californication -- as 'a student with a fascination for vampire lit'.

Dexter's executive producer gives some vague spoilers

True Blood promo: zomg zomg zomg awesome.

Dollhouse interview: Same.

WHY IS IT NOT SATURDAY YET.

[sigrun]

I'm not yet caught up on True Blood but that promo makes me want to be; that was HOT. (And the best use of Bob Dylan since Battlestar Galactica.)

Well, with the definite possibility that this will be the last Dollhouse episode aired, I'm not sure that I really want the day to come so soon. :/

Ooh, I want to tuck the Flash Gordon DVD set next to those for the 1940s serial and the 1980 movie. :)

I'm hoping that it'll eventually get released in America; I never did finish watching it on SCI FI. :/

I haven't watched Bones in a couple of months but I'm definitely tuning in tonight just to see if they can pull off the storyline without it coming off as crack!fic.

I'm staying clear of Dollhouse spoilers. I spoiled myself for Alpha's identity and I really regret that. I would have liked to have been surprised.

I'm really annoyed at NBC for thinking they can go on without their two leads.

My thoughtless ex-roommate loved the movie Drop Dead Fred. I don't know if she'll love the idea of a remake or hate it with a passion.

Woohoo! Leverage returns!

Have you read the Dexter books? I know the writers are going to part ways from the book series. Right, right?! They better.

I saw a promo for the Family Guy crossover & -- I don't know if they'll be able to pull it off. It just looks ... weird.

I'm sorry you feel that way about Dollhouse! I understand your point though -- the Alan/Alpha reveal did not go smoothly. I wish they had promoted his appearance a bit more, it might have attracted more interest/higher ratings but that would have made the whole thing even that more obvious. :/

Well, it's not like NBC hasn't done it with other Law & Order shows -- the mothership goes through DAs like crazy & Criminal Intent's been rotating detectives for the past couple of seasons. That said, I don't see how SVU could succeed without Chris & Mariska -- they are the soul & heart of that show.

I liked Drop Dead Fred as a kid, but I tried watching it recently & it grossed me out so much. I've gotten weaker as I've grown. :P I hate the whole 'let's remake everything' trend that's going on, but -- if anyone can do it right, I think Russell Brand might be the man.

I haven't read the Dexter books ... yet. They're on my

Well, I saw the Bones episode and I think it could have been worse, but it was still pretty cracktastic. That's why I stopped watching the show. I can't deal with their level of wacky. Plus, the show pushes Booth and Brennan so hard and I've developed a strong distaste for them that I don't even understand. Oh well.

Yeah, NBC has done it with it's other Law and Order shows but that was pretty much from the get go. I don't think they could get away with it this late in the game with SVU.

Ugh. Russel Brand.

I wouldn't bother with the Dexter books. Well, maybe read the first one. The second if you absolutely must. The third DO NOT BOTHER. Trust me.
