It seems that Season 13 of 'Dancing With the Stars' could be a very unlucky one for fans of pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

After the finals last night AOL TV asked the bad boy of the ballroom if he'll be returning to the show when it comes back for its next installment (likely in mid-September.)

"I don't know," he shared. "It takes a lot out of you. When you invest that much of you into something that's supposed to be just work you [can] get misinterpreted. I don't know [if I'm coming back]. We'll see. Right now, I'm drained."

Chmerkovskiy, who joined the show in Season 2, has taken a break from 'DWTS' before, sitting out Season 6 back in 2008.

With the fifth and final season of 'Friday Night Lights' both releasing on DVD today and premiering on NBC this weekend, maybe it's finally time to come to terms with the end of one of the best dramas to ever grace television screens.

If you can clear the tears from your eyes long enough to watch, check out TV Squad's exclusive deleted scene from the -- sniff -- last season in honor of today's DVD release. In it, Coach Taylor counsels Vince on the rules regarding college recruiters contacting him and luring him to their schools with free meals and other no-no perks.

'House' is celebrating a huge milestone next week: 150 episodes of pill-popping, nickname-giving, extreme diagnosing drama.

The episode, titled 'The Dig' (airs Mon., April 11, 8PM ET on Fox), also has a very special surprise: it marks the return of fan-favorite doc Thirteen, played by Olivia Wilde.


Thirteen has been in prison for the last six months, and House isn't gonna stop until he figures out why. (I mean, really, I can't wait to hear why.) To him, it's just another puzzle that needs solving -- and another way to torture someone on his team.

AOL TV has this exclusive clip from the 150th episode featuring House (Hugh Laurie) and Thirteen sparring, just like old times, as they prepare to embark on an epic roadtrip on their way back to Princeton Plainsboro. This isn't your typical roadtrip with beef jerky and classic radio sing-alongs, but it does include a spud gun competition against House's rival. Naturally.

The end is near, friends.

This Sunday marks the final episode of HBO's 'Big Love,' and from the looks of TV Squad's exclusive clip, wherein the three Henrickson wives ride, 'Thelma and Louise'–style, in Barb's new convertible, we can only hope the final minutes of the series don't see the ladies driving toward any cliffs.

After watching said clip, Barb's Zen-like attitude leaves us pretty secure that things will turn out all right for the ladies, even though Nicki is as uptight as ever. (Of course, she's the one who asks Barb to put the top up.)

"Just relax, enjoy the ride," Barb tells her sister wife. "It's the last time we'll all be together for the first time in Honeybee." (Honeybee, of course, is the name of the car.)

Now that the threat of prison looms over Bill Henrickson's head on 'Big Love,' his three wives have some delicate issues to confront.

"Everything is going to change," Barb tells her now-not-legal-husband. Namely: If Bill goes to jail, he won't be able to -- let's say "tend to his wives' needs." Well, except for Nicki. She tells Barb and Bill that she'll be OK if Bill is imprisoned; a husband in jail is something many women in her family have dealt with

"That's easy for you to say, Nicki," Barb replies. "You're the legal wife now, so you can get conjugal visits."

It's no secret that throughout the past four seasons of 'Big Love,' Nicki has found it difficult to reconcile her upbringing on the compound with her life in normal civilization.

In this week's exclusive clip, we see the new Mrs. Henrickson go back to the compound to help other women who are in the position she once was.

"I was just like you," she tells the potential rescuee. "Scared. Trapped. No better than a slave. Look at me now -- I'm legally married. I have nice things. I live in my own house. Don't you want a life like mine?"

Check out the clip after the jump.

If divorce between a husband and a wife is a painful, drawn-out process, imagine how magnified the issue becomes when there are two other wives in the equation.

In TV Squad's exclusive 'Big Love' first look this week, Bill and Nicki discuss one of the smaller yet still important issues of Bill's impending divorce from Barb -- when Nicki signs the marriage license so she and Bill can make their marriage legal in the eyes of the law, should she sign as Nicki Henrickson or Nicki Grant?

One of our favorite boozing TV detectives, Grace Hanadarko, is back in action on 'Saving Grace' (Mon., March 29 at 10PM ET on TNT) and we've got an exclusive clip from the final season's premiere.

In the season premiere, Grace (Holly Hunter) meets a mysterious stranger and takes him home from church. A concerned Rhetta (Laura San Giacomo) consults the always dependable Internet and finds Grace's mysterious new beau hasn't been very truthful. What does she find? We'll let you find out in the video. However, please tell us you what thought about Grace's bizarre reaction.

We've talked about this a lot here at TV Squad, how the word "exclusive" isn't used correctly in TV news these days. In fact I'll go one step further and say that networks often lie when they say something is an "exclusive." They'll say that an interview with a famous celebrity or a politician is an exclusive, but you realize you just watched an interview with the same person on another network the night before, or there's an interview with the same person the next day.

Now, some networks will say they have an exclusive before another interview airs, so in that case I guess we can say they're right (if we give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't know the other interview was coming, that is), but more often than not they know it's not an exclusive.

When is an exclusive not an exclusive? No, it's not a riddle. The answer is simple -- when everybody has the very same story or image or film. ABC had acquired the exclusive broadcast of President Barack Obama's first dance with Michelle at the Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration, which was the first ball that the new First Couple attended.

With Grammy-winner Beyonce singing "At Last" just for them, the two danced alone together on stage. However, ABC's first dance exclusive ended up on other networks.

Just the other day, we told you about a ton of video clips from the recently released Lost season four DVD set. Well, now we've got one more for you and it's an exclusive.

As great as bonus features on a DVD set can be, often they're not worth watching. However, for any fan of Lost, all the twists, turns, and WTF moments pretty much demand that you take a moment to watch anything you can get your hands on. When it comes to this show, a little behind-the-scenes explanation is always a good thing.

That being said, I think everyone remembers the frustration at the end of last season when we knew who the Oceanic Six were but couldn't figure out just how the hell they would all make it off the island together. Remember? They were spread all over the place and for a while, it seemed pretty unlikely that they would all join up.

Obviously it it all came together perfectly by the end, but check out the video after the jump - it's good to know that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were just as confused as we were.

Michael Ausiello at TVGuide.com has been playing with his calculator, or maybe it was an abacus. Anyway, Mike has used some oh-so-creative math to add two and two together to get a major revelation on a CBS sitcom. Okay, here's the scoop. Mr. Ausiello has gotten an exclusive casting tidbit from How I Met Your Mother.

Alicia Silverstone, star of Clueless on the big screen, Miss Match on the small, has been signed for a series of episodes, a mini-arc.

One of my favorite new Adult Swim offerings of the last year or so, Perfect Hair Forever, is coming back with sixteen new episodes in the second quarter of 2007. Don't bother setting your Tivos or even going near your television, though, because the new episodes will be aired only on AdultSwim.com. Despite being slightly miffed they're not airing the episodes on television, I'm glad to see they're making new episodes of this insanely off-kilter ode to the anime genre. Still, the idea of only doing six episodes a la FLCL seemed fitting for Perfect Hair Forever, but hell, if the Williams Street fellas have more weirdness to share, I'm all about it.

By now I'm sure you've heard of AOL Television's new venture into the world of online delivery of television shows, In2TV. Though In2TV officially opens to the public this Wednesday, I was recently lucky enough to get a preview of its interface and offerings. So, what can you expect to see this Wednesday and beyond? Read on to find out.
