Featured in this week's Mitovich Mega Minute, posted late because... well, I'm not entirely sure why:• Scoop on Chuck's Season 2 living arrangements. Plus: A sad goodbye to a fan favorite.• The latest on the arrival of two new Smallville baddies.

NBC's New Schedule Offers Super (Bowl)-sized Office | Today's News: Our Take | 4/2/2008
Ausiello gave you a first glimpse at NBC's new fall-winter-summer (!) schedule, and now here are some other details coming out of the network's earlier-than-usual upfront presentation.• Super Bowl host NBC this year will air a special episode of The Office after the big game, followed by an episode of the Office spin-off.• As you may have gleaned from that previous item, the long-rumored (and first reported by TVGuide.com) Office spin-off is a go, and will premiere in the winter.• SNL Thursday Night Live, a four-week series leading up to the election, airs after The Office (which will, again and alas, present hour-long episodes all September).• Friday Night Lights will return for a third season in the winter, in the same Fridays-at-9 time slot.• Knight Rider has landed a Wednesdays-at-8 berth. Brand-new fare includes:• My Own Worst Enemy, starring Christian Slater as an unwitting spy (Mondays at 10 pm, leading out of Heroes). • Crusoe, based on... read more
Knight Rider Puts Vegas Boss Behind the Wheel | Today's News: Our Take | 4/2/2008
Gary Scott Thompson, who gave us Las Vegas but also (and more relevant to this particular situation) penned Fast and the Furious, has inked a new two-year deal with NBCU, as part of which he will get behind the wheel at Knight Rider. Serving as show-runner, Thompson will executive-produce alongside Doug Liman, David Bartis and Dave Andron (who penned the backdoor pilot). With action and effects being a major part of the rebooted series, it is hoped that Thompson and his Fast experience can ramp up the quality seen in the TV-movie. Now if he can just recruit Vanessa Marcil to give K.I.T.T. a soapy wash every week, I'm in! — MWM read more
NBC Lines Up Deadwood Star, Knight Rider for Fall | Today's News: Our Take | 3/31/2008
Deadwood's Ian McShane will play King Silas in Kings, a new series inspired by the story of King David (Aussie actor Christopher Egan) and reportedly a lock for NBC's 2008-09 slate. Sources tell the Reporter that the Peacock on Wednesday will also announce series pickups for Knight Rider, the Christian Slater spy drama My Worst Enemy and The Philanthropist, which centers on a billionaire who sets out to help others.It is hoped that NBC will also confirm the rumored DirecTV pickup of Friday Night Lights. The Wednesday upfronts reveal is the earliest in the network's history, and at least six weeks ahead of the standard May fanfare. As long as it's bringing us more series news, faster, I'm all for it. How 'bout you? — Anna Dimond read more
Ask Matt | 3/3/2008
Q: I'm responding to the recent Knight Rider-related exchange, in which you said, "I've got nothing against harmless escapism, and I wouldn't argue with the person who commented on my Dispatch that not everything on TV should have to be Masterpiece Theatre." I would argue with that person ? not by saying that everything should be Masterpiece Theatre, but by saying that it's a rhetorical sleight of hand, using the loaded term "Masterpiece Theatre" to justify mediocrity (or, more precisely, to ... read more
