... Larry Charles, the writer behind some of Seinfeld's wittiest and darkest lines, and McG, former executive producer of The O.C., are teaming up to create a new comedy for NBC. No title has been released, but we know it'll be semi-scripted (like Borat) and center on sci-fi junkies who set out to remake their favorite canceled TV show. Did somebody say, "Save our Bluths!"? [Variety]
... Castle's Detective Beckett (Stana Katic) better watch her back ... she'll be dealing with some fierce competition for Rick Castle's (Nathan Fillion) affection from guest star Alyssa Milano! Expect to see this love triangle in action sometime in 2010. [EW]
... Competitively time-slotted Fringe—which goes up against ratings giants like Grey's Anatomy, CSI, and The Office on Thursday nights—is kicking off a high-energy ad campaign in an effort to boost ratings. Expect to see strategically-placed "Observers" (those creepy bald guys from the show) in episodes of So You Think You Can Dance and broadcasts of Sunday Night Football. They'll also be roaming the streets in major cities like Atlanta and New York. Let's hope Josh Jackson dons some Observer makeup and hits the pavement, too. [Variety]
... After a successful one-hour special on the Disney channel earlier this month, it looks like My Little Pony will make its (her?) way to the small screen again. The sparkly maned beast has earned a spot on a new Discovery-Hasbro hybrid channel, created especially for kids. What's next, a Lisa Frank talk show? [THR]

Alyssa Milano is a great guest star for Castle!
Alyssa Milano on Castle is a great news!!
Alyssa and Nathan? Ugh!
What? Is she planning to charm Castle?
I've always liked Alyssa, should be interesting to see her in Castle, which is one of my very favorite shows. Though I have to agree with "sandbur", my money's on Beckett too! Fringe needs some campaigning sure, but it also needs to change its timeslot. It's a great show and it would be a pity to cancel it because of poor timeslot choice...
my tv misses Alyssa....
wtf is with my little pony? they could make almost anything into a short movie and they choose that? i'd rather watch dora the explorer or gouge my eyes out. or both
Alyssa Milano's alright
Wow nice for Castle and for FRINGE is a really good show but i agree i think it needs more viewers if the show wants to reach to S3
XO XO
:):):):)
Alyssa Milano seems an unusual choice for Castle...but my money is on "Beckett"!
Fringe definitely needs more viewers if it wants to make it to another season.
Alyssa on Castle.. huh
This will make for a great second half of the season, or even better yet for the 3rd season next fall.
The observer's name should be Waldo.
