NBC thinks the '80s are Wonder-ful.Looking to cash in on more old school remakes and spin-offs of the like, the Peacock has ordered a one-hour pilot for Lost in the '80s, described as an '80s version of The Wonder Years, according to The Hollywood Reporter.There's good reason too — the series is the brainchild of Wonder Years writer-producer Bob Brush, who will executive produce the half-hour show with Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Mitch Hurwitz, he of Arrested Development fame.'80s, also dubbed a cross between Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Ice Storm, will confront the social issues of that era, in the same vein Wonder Years did to various social and historical events of the '60s.No word yet on who's going to be its Kevin Arnold. — Joyce Eng

Mandy Patinkin, Criminal Minds
Back in the early '80s, when the Super Bowl moved into prime time, the networks began scheduling a new entertainment show to premiere after the big game, to take advantage of the humongous audience lead-in it provided. NBC started the tradition with The A-Team, which went on to become a big hit and helped the network begin its run of prime-time ratings dominance that lasted the rest of the decade. The next year, CBS used the platform to launch Airwolf, which hung around for a few seasons. ABC previewed The Wonder Years after the game in 1988. That show then had a nice six-year run that included a season in the top 10.
But the tactic of using the supersize audience to launch a show has become a TV-business relic. When it comes to Super Bowl Sunday, networks now go with what they think is their already hot show, instead of something new. For 2007, CBS has given the nod to Criminal Minds to follow Super Bowl XLI. CBS Corp. chairman Leslie Moonves

Danica McKellar, Inspector Mom
Best known for her sweet, endearing role as The Wonder Years' Winnie, Danica McKellar has come a long way from drive-ins and school dances. Playing a deep-digging journalist-turned-mom in Lifetime Movie Network's Inspector Mom (premiering Saturday, Nov. 18, at 8 pm/ET), McKellar got a taste of motherhood while solving crimes — and she had a great time doing it. TVGuide.com asked the actress why she chose this project — you'll never guess who convinced her to go through with it! — and how "boot camp" made her a better actor.

Michael Rosenbaum, Smallville
At the end of "Lexmas," Smallville's last fresh episode, Lex Luthor — having seen a semi-idyllic (and also semi-tragic) possible future flash before his eyes — vows to use any means possible to win election to the Kansas state senate against his opponent, Jonathan Kent. The moment was chilling, and not because of all of the prop snow. TV Guide went to Michael Rosenbaum for the scoop on the WB drama's brand-new episode, "Fanatic" (airing tonight at 8 pm/ET), and Lex's descent into total villainy.
TV Guide: There has been some debate over what Lex's end-of-"Lexmas" declaration of war against Jonathan is really about. Care to shed some light on his decision to fight dirty?Michael Rosenbau

Alias
I can't believe I just had to look up how to spell Eurythmics. Blame the Santa Ana winds or the L.A. fires, accuse me of Valley Fever, it doesn't matter — I'm disappointed, and this week's soundtrack is only the beginning. Observe: — I only laughed once.— I was bored enough to start looking for "clues," like the apple on the teacher's desk. (Does anyone have a screengrab?)— I thought the actual Chris Rock would play a bigger part in the show.— I'm thinking of watching the East Coast broadcast from now on, which would sort of free up my Thursday nights.— I now feel it's OK to point out that I thought Chris had darker skin.
With that said, let me attempt to save face, as this is only the third episode and a whole season is still ahead of us. Chris can't always be funny, and the jocks saved him this time. His comeback to the school bully — "Good luck finding an ax to go with that shirt" — is honestly my fa

Danica McKellar
You knew her and loved her as The Wonder Years' sweet Winnie Cooper, but it's time to face facts: Danica McKellar has grown up — and then some, looking at her June lad-mag layout — and her career ops have matured with her. Having landed memorable gigs on The West Wing, NYPD Blue and Strong Medicine, she can next be seen braving Big Oil and a bad storm in Sci Fi Channel's Path of Destruction, premiering Sept. 24 at 9 pm/ET. Just as she wrapped her first fright flick and was readying to jet off to Hawaii, TVGuide.com chatted up Winn— er, Ms. McKellar.
