What happens when a mystery writer has his muse stolen by his protégé? If the writer is the title character of ABC's Castle, the answer is simple: It gets combative. Check out photos of the Castle cast TVGuide.com has learned exclusively that Lie to Me star Brendan Hines has been tapped to play Alex Conrad, a first-time mystery writer who owes some of his debut novel's success to a glowing review written by Castle (Nathan Fillion).

Ratings: Top Model Is Still Lookin' Good
Wednesday's ratings roundup: 8 pm/ETAn audience of 22.5 million total viewers tuned in for American Idol, marking a 9 percent increase over last week's results show. (But really, Tatiana? Oh, the pain had best end tonight.) Knight Rider's series finale managed a distant second with 5.76 million viewers, representing a 21-percent drop-off from the show's debut. Trailing repeats of CBS sitcoms and Lost, the season premiere of America's Next Top Model averaged 3.89 million viewers over its two-hour run, up 11 percent from its previous opener.

NBC's Heroes Will Fly Again, but Knight Rider Is Out of Gas
Some of this TV season's "bubble shows" are starting to pop, while others continue to ride the fence — or even safely hop off. Case in point: Despite sagging ratings and amid backstage upheavals, Heroes will fight another day. The Peacock's onetime pride and joy is likely to return in the fall for 18 to 20 episodes, NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad told the Hollywood Reporter, though an actual pick-up order has yet to be placed. One thing playing in Heroes' favor is ...

Fighting for Life: NBC Revamps Wednesday Line-Up
In this tough, low-rated TV season, NBC is the first network to reshuffle its lineup. What's the Peacock's solution? Crime night!

Knight Rider, Terminator Are Given a Bit Extra Gas
On the heels of CBS' The Mentalist, which thus far is the TV season's biggest freshman hit, getting an order for a half-dozen additional scripts, two other new-ish series have received perhaps-significant votes of confidence. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, technically a second-year show but one still anxiously awaiting a back-nine order, has been given the go-ahead for two more scripts — this in the wake of increasing ratings in its fifth week. Knight Rider, meanwhile, has been given the green light for four more scripts. Of note, the NBC reboot has been trumping critical darling Pushing Daisies, one of its Wednesdays-at-8 rivals, in the Nielsens. To date, the freshman series Fringe and 90210 have received full-season pick-ups. Crave scoop? E-mail Matt and Mickey at megascoop@tvguide.com.

Knight Rider: An Inside Look at KITT's Extreme Makeover
If there was any hope for a new Knight Rider series (premieres Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 8 pm/ET, NBC) to meet the expectations of today's entertainment consumer, Gary Scott Thompson is the man you want behind the wheel. Last spring, after NBC put in gear a TV-movie reboot of the '80s series, the former Las Vegas boss was tapped to look under the hood and figure out how this baby could purr on a week-to-week basis. "I did see every episode of Knight Rider as a kid, so I felt, as the viewers and the press did, 'Ah, they missed a few things [with the movie]," Thompson tells us. "NBC told me, 'We don’t know what the series is. Do you?' I did, and I really haven’t deviated from that." First up was finding ways to make today's viewer ooh and ahh at a series that used to impress us with a talking car (gee, th
Knight Rider Picks Up Battlestar Alum
Paul Campbell, who on Battlestar Galactica played President Roslin's loyal (and ill-fated) aide, Billy, has been added to the cast of NBC's Knight Rider, which premieres as a series this fall. Campbell will play the head research tech at Knight Industries, says the Reporter, which means he and perhaps only he can explain why KITT went from being all sleek to brick-like. — Matt Mitovich
