Question: First-time writer.
Looking for scoop onPsych.
Totally love that show.
Team Roday-Hill-Meloni

At one point shirts and
skins were suggested, whispers my gridiron mole, but it was too chilly.
Question: IfFriday Night Lightsgets picked up for a fourth season, who among the cast will return?
Beyond that, exec producer Jason Katims is keeping his options open.

people go off to college and then it doesnt work out.
Something brings
them back to town.
And some people never end upleavingtown.

them.

Ausiello:Congratulations all you game-players you found it!
Heres
the question that prompted Jesse Spencer to declare, If there is, Im
done.
:
Any plans for a very special episode of House in which Chase and Cameron get married?
Did anyone guess correctly?
If so, congrats!
You just won exclusive access to the rest of
Spencers quote.
I think [producers] are wary about getting into too
much relationship stuff, he says.
Its a procedural show at its core.
Thats why people like it.
You wont see
Chase and Cameron make a home and have babies and other greeting card
stuff.
Question: Hugh Laurie was spotted filming a beach scene in Malibu while wearing a
Hawaiian shirt.

My name is Sam, and Im a Demon Bloodholic.
Question: Totally psyched about the return ofRescue Mein April.
How about some scoop?
Sean
Ausiello:A major character will be diagnosed with cancer this season.
And because itsRescue Me, itll be both sad and hilarious.
Probably
more of the latter.
Question: I have just been blown away by these final episodes of
Battlestar Galactica.
Im almost afraid to ask for spoilers.
Eh, frak

The other 31 percent remained unaccounted for at press time.
(And I
agree with you about theseBSGeps being top-notch.
