TV News Roundup, 7/12
- Ladies and gentlemen, we have our Supergirl. Canadian actress Laura Vandervoort has been cast as Superman's counterpart on "Smallville." Vandervoort, who most recently played Sadie on The N's "Instant Star" and had a role in The Lookout, will make her debut in the show's season premiere.
- Meanwhile, Katie Cassidy — David Cassidy's 20-year-old daughter — will join the cast of "Supernatural." She'll play a demon hunter who meets up with the Winchester boys in the first episode of the next season.
- Those of us who have been enjoying Lifetime's "Army Wives" are in luck: The show, which is the highest rated series in Lifetime history, has been renewed for a second season of 18 episodes. The season will start sometime in the spring of 2008.
- Coming soon to a TV near you: "Car Talk," the animated series. The show will be based on the call-in radio show where brothers Tom and Ray — or Click and Clack, as they're known — answer questions about listeners' cars. The series, which will air on PBS, apparently will pick up when the radio show ends, delving into the brothers' personal lives.
