Looks as though Knight Rider is finally being put out of its misery.
Mad Men’s John Hamm is set to appear on 30 Rock as a love interest for Liz.
Good stuff for Lost fans. A sneak peek of the Season 5 premiere, a discussion with producers Lindelhof and Cuse, and members of the cast talking about their handling of guns.
Kids in the Hall are returning.
The Office will be taking the one-hour time slot following the Super Bowl in an episode in which Michael gets roasted.
ABC releases its midseason lineup which includes KB fave Nathan Fillion in a new show, Castle. Spring TV is going to be plenty competitive after a crappy fall. Returning shows include Lost, 24, and American Idol.

I’ll call a prediction that The Spirit bombs and Sin City 2 is cast aside.
I’ll call a prediction that Ratner, the bane of film fans everywhere, will be put on Superman and do to it what he did to XMen.
A sequel to Hancock?! Might as well –it’s not like much is worth watching anymore.
Sigh.
Dang I’ve missed Lost, and that preview looks awesome!
I was hoping you’d post the Lost preview—I just saw it last night. Who do those lawyers represent?! Whitmore?
Joseph Fiennes? Nathan Fillion? My crap day is suddenly much better…
I just barely watched Hancock, and I enjoyed it much more than the critics would suggest (and more than the linked article) Personally, I really was shocked at the twist midway through. Will Smith is a very entertaining guy to watch. Still, what’s left?
Can’t wait for Lost and 24! Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times!
Hancock was so bland, there’s no reason for a sequel in that universe other than to make money for Smith. Sin City 2 is a sequel I can get behind though.
The “twist” in Hancock –the idea of it, anyway –was very cool. But the movie wasn’t about that at all; there was 15 minutes of cool. The rest of it was just plain crap. I was so put out!
