... Actress Amber Tamblyn, who can't seem to find a series to stay on, is guest-starring on Hugh Laurie's House next season. She'll play a a med student who's sharp as a tack but not quite ready to deal with patients directly. And of course, she'll class with Dr. House. That was a given. [EW]
... NBC has announced its fall return dates, and it looks like September 20-24 will be a frickin' busy week for me. Like the rest of the networks, NBC is premiering its new shows that week, beginning with Chuck and The Event on the 20th. It's good to see the networks all play nice this year and not try any weird scheduling. [Deadline Hollywood]
... On the cable side of things, FX has also announced premiere dates. Sons of Anarchy returns September 7, Terriers makes its debut on September 8, and The League and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia roll in on September 16. [The Live Feed]
... George Eads has signed on for more CSI after receiving a contract offer that he liked. Eads plays Nick Stokes, whoever that is. [TV Guide]
... Justice is served. Steven Seagal's million-dollar sexual harassment lawsuit has been dismissed in court because you don't mess with Steven Seagal, even if he messed with you. I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm just saying what judge in his right mind would tell Steven Seagal he can't do whatever he wants? [Associated Press]
... Captain Phil's final episode on Deadliest Catch was a whopper. More than 8.5 million people tuned in to see how the show treated his death, making it the third-most-watched broadcast in the network's history. MTV, are you listening? If you kill cast members on Jersey Shore, people will tune in! Just a thought. [LA Times]
... President Barack Obama and former presidential candidate John McCain have their differences, but they do agree that Mad Men is awesome. In other news, I still disagree with both Obama and McCain. [Yahoo!]

Nick is the best thing on CSI !!!
Yay! Nick's gonna be back for next season! And what's with the "Nick Stokes whoever that is"?
What do you mean with 'Nick Stokes whoever that is'?
I'm glad he will be back. It's a pleasure for the eyes, at least mine.
I like Amber and look forward to seeing her on House. Should be fun. Oh, btw, I think you meant "clash" with House, not class.
Finally, good news for House, and Nicky is confirmed in the next season of CSI Las Vegas.

love amber tamblyn. cant wait to see if she becomes a long term character on house. hope she does though!
When do we get the dates for House, SPN, and Bones?
Captain Phil's final episode was handled very well and was very touching, in fact. So was the episode of After the Catch that followed it.
Hmm... Hope Amber does well on House, as long as she doesn't come between House and Cuddy, i'm good.
Yay for George Eads remaining on CSI and for Amber Tamblyn briefly joining House!!!
so glad that I finally know the premiere date for Chuck!
Did you mean "clash" with Dr. House?
