News ranging from awesome to depressing

Lots of interesting TV tidbits this week, ranging from stories that induce expletives of joy, to ones that induce expletives of severe anger.

Let's start with the mind-blowingly good news: DON DRAPER MAY BE COMING TO 30 ROCK. Yes, according to Ausiello at EW, Jon Hamm may be joining the show for a multi-episode arc as a love interest for Liz Lemon. What have we done right to deserve this?

Also exciting is the announcement that Reiko Aylesworth, who played Michelle on 24 for a while, is coming to Lost, which, while we're on the topic, is coming back with a two hour premiere on Wednesday, January 21. Mark your calenders/DVRs.

But alas, all is not well in TV land. One of the finest shows on TV perches on the edge of cancellation and things look bleaker for it by the day. The silver lining? PD overseer Bryan Fuller said in an interview that if the show is canceled, he'd come back to work for Heroes. Fuller wrote for Heroes in season one (the good season) and was responsible for Company Man, which is pretty easily the best hour that show has ever produced. Of course, I'd rather have more Pushing Daisies (and I'm beginning to think that Heroes may be beyond fixing), but its good to know that Fuller will have something to do should the worst happen.

But the worst news of all may be about a show that hasn't even debuted yet. Fox announced their January schedule and among the news was the fact that Dollhouse will be moving to Fridays along with ratings challenged Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Dollhouse is the new Joss Whedon TV show and, after seeing Fox mistreat Firefly, its not very reassuring to see them give Dollhouse the exact same timeslot, a time which is normally death for TV shows. Add to that the fact that Dollhouse scraped its pilot and shot a new one (just like Firefly) and I'm beginning to get the feeling that this show may not last more than six episodes.
