The TCA Press Tour - where I'll be heading on Monday, so don't forget to tell me your questions for NBC - is already underway in Los Angeles, with the cable networks peddling their wares to critics. Here's a sampling of the news so far:

"Nip/Tuck" (panel discussion pictured above) is going all meta on us, introducing a satirical show-within-a-show that will hire the good doctors as consultants.
Everyone wants to know if the stars of HBO's new drama "Tell Me You Love Me," which starts Sept. 9, are actually having sex on-screen. To the point that one reporter asked "Did anybody actually, uh, do it?"
Larry David seemed to be having fun with reporters during the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" session.
The two TV movies HBO promised "Deadwood" fans are only at 50-50 odds to actually happen now, but the one-hour "Extras" special is a go.
Shoop! Salt-n-Pepa showed up at a VH1 panel to talk about their breakup and makeup, which will be chronicled in a new reality series.
PBS is getting buzz for the new Ken Burns documentary The War - but the public TV folks also handed out Jane Austen action figures, just in case.
