This week we finally meet Jenna Maloney's mother, Verna, on '30 Rock.' Not that we've heard too much about her, I don't think, but it will be interesting to see where she came from (I'd also like to meet the sister who peed in Jenna's eye).

She's not in this clip below, but Verna is played by ex-'SNL' star Jan Hooks.

Lost returns next Tuesday for its final season. And guess what? Someone (hey, maybe even ABC) has leaked the first four minutes of the first episode. YES, IT'S A SPOILER. Though not as spoiler-ish as you might think. Not sure how long this will stay up if ABC didn't leak it.

I'm enjoying Human Target. It's not groundbreaking television, just a fun action show, a throwback to the 80s, in a way. This week's episode is called "Embassy Row." Chance has to find a spy at a Russian embassy and gets into a fight with someone as talented as he is.

I like action scenes where a woman has advantage over the man. Wait, did I just reveal too much about myself?

I'm not sure what the heck James Franco is doing on General Hospital (though I kind of admire his quirky career strategy), but I do know what he's doing on 30 Rock: he's playing himself, trying to set up a fake romance with Jenna. Here's a sneak peek of the episode, which airs on January 14.

We told you yesterday about the clues that are beginning to leak about the final season of Lost, but the heck with that. How would you like to be one of the first people to see actual footage from the first episode?

The show is having a sweepstakes where 815 (of course) winners will get a special message sent to them that will have a sneak peek of the first episode. You have to go to that link and answer six questions about the show, but if you're excited enough about the new season to actually enter a contest then you probably know the answers.

A while back we posted a clip from Timothy Olyphant's new FX drama Lawman. Well, the network has changed the show's name to Justified. No idea why. They've also released this trailer for the show, which starts in March. I already love it.

Fans of ABC's FlashForward were a little surprised when it was announced at the end of the most recent episode that the show was going on a four month hiatus (plus the network has cut the episode order). Here's a preview of the new show that's going to replace it for a while.

It's called The Deep End and it's about a law students fighting for a spot at a big law firm. It debuts on January 21.

I'm a sucker for Christmas episodes of TV shows and I love 30 Rock, which means that I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's episode of the show, "Secret Santa." But even beyond the Xmas aspect it looks funny, as Jack tries a new social networking site.

Actually, two sneak peeks. The first clip shows what you should do if you ever blurt out something in bed that you shouldn't (and why you should learn a bit of geography first) and the second clip (after the jump) shows what happens if a coworker reveals a little bit about himself.

I'm so glad ABC renewed this show. The season premiere airs next Tuesday at 9:30.

I have to admit I haven't seen any of Total Drama Action. It's a show I often include in my What's On Tonight picks, but I just haven't caught up with it yet. From this recap/preview below, it looks like fun, sort of a weird Cartoon Network version of Survivor, with a few other reality shows mixed in too. The season finale airs this Thursday at 9PM.

We're starting to see Thanksgiving episodes of TV shows, and Heroes is no exception. This Monday's episode ("Thanksgiving") has the Bennett family gathering for Turkey Day and it's...uncomfortable, especially since Mom brings a date (Doug) and so does Noah (Lauren).

But the question I have (and so will you) about this scene is: where the hell is Lyle?

A lot of people have already given up on ABC's FlashForward. I think I understand why. Maybe it's not moving along the way that some viewers want, maybe it's not as compelling as the pilot was, or maybe people have been spoiled by Lost. I get all that, but I'm sticking with it. I think they've made some terrible choices (the Bob Dylan song used in the parking garage shootout was just goofy, and the card game last week was pointless and boring), but there's enough going to hold my interest.

Here's a sneak peek of Thursday's episode, "Believe."

The ongoing plot this season on 30 Rock is the search for a new cast member for TGS. A certain NBC personality guest stars on tonight's episode to audition for Liz, which brings back memories of when she auditioned for commercials years earlier.

ABC has released a short teaser for the upcoming last season of Lost that starts in January (probably). Take a look and tell me if you find it as lame as I do.

There's no new footage! Come on ABC, give us one quick scene, a piece of dialogue, the back of someone's head, a shadow, something.

I'm sure that Halloween isn't the main focus of tonight's episode of 30 Rock (Liz and Jack going to Kenneth's hometown to audition people for TGS is), but this clip flashes back to a party from last year that Frank, Lutz, and Toofer had. I'm trying to remember if 30 Rock did a Halloween show last year and if this contradicts it.

Also: are women really more loose on Halloween?
