A while back we told you about news that Las Vegas producers had approached former Magnum, P.I. star Tom Selleck about joining the series, and now NBC has announced that it's a done deal. Selleck will join the show this fall and be the new billionaire owner of the Montecito with a mysterious past (of course).

But James Caan fans take note: he will appear in the first episode of the new season to wrap up his storyline, and resolve those cliffhangers from the final episode this season. Along with Caan, Nikki Cox is also leaving the show.

Hmmm...mysterious billionaire? They should give Selleck's character the name Robin Masters. That would be funny.

I love Futurama; I think it was one of the most under-rated shows that aired. It was The Simpsons with even more heart. The one downside to it is that most die-hard Simpsons fans believe it's also one of the biggest contributors to the original yellow family's decline in quality, since Matt Groening split his time between the two. Since Futurama's untimely death though, The Simpsons has been on a tremendous climb back up. This year in particular has been magnificent. They've been rehashing old plots, but honestly, after 17 years, it's gonna be hard not to, yet they've been doing it with new spins and a wonderful new look at things. So, with the recent revelation that Futurama is coming back, my one concern is that The Simpsons will lose something again, but let's hope not.
