Bree isn't really going to kill herself on Desperate Housewives, is she? — Brandi
NATALIE: Probably not. It may look dire now, but in the coming weeks, she's going to slut it up all over town, which is actually what brings Kyle MacLachlan's Orson back into the picture. We're hearing that when barfly Bree refuses the advances of a particularly aggressive patron, Orson shows up to save the day! Could there be a happily-ever-after in the cards for these two?
When is the baby going to be born on Bones? — Gina
ADAM: It certainly won't be before the recently delayed "fall finale," but when the show returns in the spring, Booth and an about-to-pop Brennan will be...

Bones
Always a popular (if sometimes contentious) topic in my Ask Matt forum, Fox's Bones refutes any notion that its heart isn't in the right place in this week's ultimately touching episode (9/8c). Ralph Waite (forever Papa Walton to many of us, though nowadays better known as Jethro's dad on NCIS) makes a welcome return as Booth's grandfather, bearing some unwelcome news that has the very pregnant Bones (Emily Deschanel) wondering how best to reach ...

Question: Now that we are about at the mid-season break for shows, I have been thinking about which returning shows are having the best, most satisfying seasons. Fringe, Castle, Community and Bones are at the top of my list, but I have to single out Parks and Recreation as the best returning show. I wasn't sure Parks and Rec could sustain the consistently funny run it had last season, but it has easily lived up to the expectations of Season 3. I think what has made this season even better ...

Will Mark and Lexie ever get back together on Grey's Anatomy? -- Jeannie
NATALIE: Just because Jackson and Lexie broke up doesn't mean that Lexie will go running back to Mark, particularly since he isn't single at the moment. Yes, Julia will still very much be in the picture when Grey's returns in January, though don't expect Lexie to throw any more softballs at her chest -- not literal softballs anyway.
Can you tell us anything about next week's Bones? I heard that David Boreanaz killed it! — montgomerysloan, via Twitter
ADAM: How did you hear that? (Do tell.) I can confirm that Booth will...

Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph
Maya Rudolph loves Amy Poehler, but not the way an average person loves Amy Poehler.
Rudolph told the crowd at Variety's 2011 Power of Comedy, which honored the Parks and Recreation star, that the two are good friends — they did Saturday Night Live together, not to mention "all that heroin," Rudolph deadpanned.
But Rudolph went a step further, declaring that's she's also in love with Poehler. "I'm actually in love with Amy, and I want to do her. Really hard... And if I...

Scott Foley
The basic theme of tonight's eventful Grey's Anatomy fall finale (ABC, 9/8c) is: "You think you had a bad day?" The doctors of Seattle Grace have their hands and hearts full of trauma, with much of the chaos spinning around the emergency surgery involving Teddy's chronically ill but eternally chipper ...

Got any scoop on The Big Bang Theory? — Shawn
NATALIE: How frustrating is it to watch Sheldon and Amy fumble their way into a relationship? Have no fear: A big karmic kick in the ass is on its way. When Stuart asks Sheldon if it's OK if he asks Amy out on a date, Sheldon will be forced once and for all to define his feelings.
Please tell me House isn't going to force Chase and Dr. Adams into a relationship. It's like Thirteen all over again. — Melanie
ADAM: Jesse Spencer doesn't think the show is necessarily going to go that route, perhaps for the same reasons to which you allude...
