Just in case those ten seasons of Stargate SG-1 weren’t enough for you, you’ll be gratified to hear that, despite its cancellation, the show will be back as a couple of DVD movies that will wrap up everything nicely with a bow.

Roger Daltrey to appear in front of the CSI camera
He does all the CSI theme tunes. Now Roger Daltrey is going to appear on-screen on CSI. He can act, sometimes, as anyone who watched Highlander: The Series will testify.
But sometimes, he can’t, as anyone who watched Witchblade will also confirm. Which Daltrey are we going to get this time?
Medium will be back, don’t worry
Since loads of people keep coming here to find out when Medium will be back, I thought I’d let you know that it’s going to be in Kidnapped‘s Wednesday night slot, starting from mid-November, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Review: 30 Rock 1×1 (US: NBC)
In the US: NBC, Wednesdays, 8/7c
In the UK: Nowhere yet. But it will.
So here’s weird. On Monday night on NBC, we have a show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, that looks behind the scenes of a fictitious comedy sketch show. Meanwhile, on Wednesdays, over on… well, still on NBC, we have 30 Rock, which, erm, looks behind the scenes of a fictitious comedy sketch show.
The first is by award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing. The second is by Saturday Night Live alumnus, Tina Fey. Which one’s going to be better? Go on, go on. Which one, which one?

Third-episode verdict: Dexter
A slightly speedy third-episode verdict, I know, but that’s the power of the preview for you. Anyway, to cut a long story short, after a very promising first episode, Dexter has gone on only to impress. Darkly comic yet scary, it really is a great show.
Michael C Hall is truly upsetting and outstanding as the apparently normal Dexter, and although the other members of the cast are more than acceptable, it’s on Hall’s shoulders that the entire show rests. He’s more than up to the task
It would have been easy for the show’s producers to create a show that watered down the motivations of the average serial killer to create a nearly loveable anti-hero, but although Dexter does indeed only pick on bad people, at no point do you feel like you’re being asked to root for Dexter or to feel much sympathy for him.
So catch it if you can: it’s on Showtime on Sundays in the US, and will be on FX in the UK next year.
