Some stuff from the web.
SeattlePI.com: TV Gal Live From L.A.: Thank you, WB, for Spike-ing your fall TV schedule!
For all you “Buffy” fanatics keeping track, that means Alyson Hannigan (Willow), Nicholas Brendon (Xander), Seth Green (Oz), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), David Boreanaz (Angel) and [James] Marsters all have a regular presence on your television screen this fall.
Marsters’ casting may be sweetest of all, since it brings him back to the network that launched him to fame. And frankly, The WB can use his help. It’s no secret that the network formerly known as The Frog did not enjoy its best season in 2004-2005.
This year, The WB wants to reclaim its cool by any means necessary, using strategic hires as a start. Marsters’ return was only one of several surprising casting announcements. Welling also revealed that Tom Wopat would be joining the cast, reuniting him with his “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star John Schneider, who plays Clark’s dad.
Then Welling added that this year, “Smallville” is digging deeper into the comic book’s lore by having Clark explore the Fortress of Solitude and meet the lamest superhero ever, Aquaman. That Welling, he’s a talkative guy.
Where is all the Aquaman hate coming from these days? I think it was Entertainment Weekly that had a small article in it this week about people dissing Aquaman. But, I digress.
Spike *and* a Dukes reunion on the “Smallville”? I may have to actually watch it again even though I vowed not to after the season of Lana’s witch tattoo.
Cool! I think that Smallville and Marsters go together beautifully. Which reminds me that I need to remember to record the last few eps of Smallville’s last season. I never got closure on the witch tatoo. Which I liked, by the way, gave Lana something to do other than cry and look pretty.
What show is Nicholas Brendan on again?
Nicky Brendon’s gonna be on Kitchen Confidential.
