What Is the Best Sci-Fi Show of 2009?
They're the shows with the mind-blowing storylines that make us go "huh?!" This year, we saw the departure of one of the genre's biggies (Battlestar Galactica) and a cult favorite (Dollhouse). In their place we have a few other series ready to carry the torch in 2010, including two newbies.

What Did You Think of the V Premiere?
ABC's V finally debuted, giving us a glimpse at the Visitors (and their creepy alien skins). The premiere brought in a huge audience, making it the second most-watched of the new season — but what did you think of the first episode?
While the opening with the descent of the spaceships is eerily suspenseful, I felt like the writers packed in a ton for just an hour-long show.
TV Tonight: V Premiere
The Visitors are coming! Tonight, V invades ABC with an updated redo of the eighties sci-fi series. I'm still somewhat confused over why the network is splitting up the season into two separate installments (the first four episodes now; the rest in March), but you can bet I'll be watching to assess if the show is worth following into Spring.
Buzz-Worthy Video of the Day: First look at ABC's V
Fall TV is underway, but there are a few lingering shows that have yet to premiere. On November 3, we'll get to check out the first episode of V, ABC's new remake of the alien invasion series. While we wait for next week, I've got a taste of the new show.
ABC Splits Up the Debut For V: Brilliant or Baffling?
ABC's Fall drama V is going to have an unorthodox birth: first, it will premiere in November with a four-episode run and then stop until March, when it will resume again. The main reason cited is the Winter Olympics, which will be airing and taking up prime-time viewers.
The show, a remake of the 1980s alien invasion miniseries, has promise — it stars Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell and Scott Wolf, and the futuristic extraterrestrial subject matter is pretty beloved.
First Look: ABC's New Dramas
In addition to the four new comedies ABC announced at its Upfront presentation this week, the network also laid out plans for six new dramas, three for Fall and three for midseason.
Flash Forward, The Forgotten, and Eastwick are the first three we'll see, with Flash Forward taking Ugly Betty's old time slot on Thursdays and Eastwick anchoring the all-new Wednesday night lineup.
Later in the season, we'll meet The Deep End, Happy Town, and the network's remake of V.
Upfronts Buzz: Samantha Who? Canceled, While ABC and CBS Pick New Shows
Over the weekend, things were looking pretty good for Samantha Who? to return in the Fall. But apparently, the numbers just didn't work: Christina Applegate's show won't be back on ABC next season because the budget just couldn't be cut down enough for ABC to pick it up.
TV Casting News: Scott Wolf, Katie Cassidy, Anastasia Griffith
As pilot season continues in Hollywood, I've got a fresh round of casting news, including Scott Wolf's next TV job and some plans for the new Melrose Place. Check it:
- Scott Wolf has been cast in ABC's remake of V, which is about aliens known as "the visitors" trying to take over Earth. Wolf's role is as a TV newscaster who begins to spread the aliens' messages.

Avatar and The Hurt Locker Lead the 2010 Oscar Nominations!
Anne Hathaway joined Academy President Tom Sherak this morning in LA to announce the nominees for this year's Oscars. As expected, there was lots of love for Avatar — the film is up in a total of nine categories, as is The Hurt Locker, including Best Picture and Best Director nominations for both James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow. This is the first year with 10 films in the running for Best Picture, and The Blind Side scored a spot next to films like Up, Inglourious Basterds, and District 9.
