Tru Davies, a medical grad student in Boston whose grant is suddenly pulled out from under her, takes a job at a local morgue. There, she discovers that she has the power to "re-live" the previous day over again to help the people who wrongly ended up dead. She uses this gift not only to save lives, but to help her trouble-plagued family - her older sister Meredith, a lawyer and drug addict in denial; and her younger, irresponsible, slacker, gambling brother Harrison.

Eliza Dushku on Her Steamy White Collar Guest Spot: "I Wanted a Mr. & Mrs. Smith Vibe"

Long before he made fedoras and police anklets stylish on White Collar, Matt Bomer romanced Eliza Dushku on the Fox sci-fi series Tru Calling. But when White Collar creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin came calling for her to guest-star on the USA series, Dushku knew she wanted to channel another, very famous, on-screen couple for their reunion. "I wanted a Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibe," Dushku tells TVGuide.com. "[I said] I'd love to come and be on it, but only if it's something that's really special and only if Raquel and Neal really have a Mr. & Mrs. Smith dance going on. It could be sexual at times, it could be violent and scary at times, but as long as it's intense, and he really responded to that." Eliza Dushku to stir things up on White Collar Judging from the previews for Tuesday's episode, airing at 9/8c on USA, the message was definitely received...

Eliza Dushku Lures Joss Whedon Back to TV!

Short of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion movie, this is just about the best news you could ask for: Eliza Dushku and Joss Whedon are reteaming for a new series! (Told ya it would be worth tearing yourself away from the candy corn to drop by The Ausiello Report.) Here are the five things you have to know about the show, and I mean now:1. It's a one-hour drama produced by Twentieth Century Fox to air on Fox. The first of the seven episodes to which the network has committed could premiere as early as spring. 2. It's called Dollhouse because that's the nickname of the high-tech lab where a group of human chalkboards are kept between assignments.3. Human chalkboards?! Yes! What else would you call characters like Dushku's Echo who can be given new memories, skills and even personalities, then stripped of them just as quickly, leaving them virtual children?4. Whedon is the creator, head writer and executive producer, and perhaps in part because Dushku convinced him to do the show, she...

Eliza Dushku Lures Joss Whedon Back to TV!

You have no idea what big ...

Question: You have no idea what big fans me and my friend Jenny are of yours. Will you marry one of us? Also, can you please tell us what show The O.C. is going to be crossing over with?Answer: Since you're my biggest fans, I'll give you another clue: A character from The O.C. will leave town next month to take a job at Seattle Grace. But, and I can't stress this enough, this is probably news to Shonda Rhimes. I should also point out that this "crossover" is more amusing than anything else. At least it's amusing to me. Speaking of The O.C., Josh Schwartz sent me the first four episodes and it's killing me that I haven't had time to watch them yet. I'm hoping to plow through them this weekend. In the meantime, AA intern Scott Sode just finished watching them at his desk (Best. Internship. Ever.) and it appears Mr. Schwartz is taking my

Tim Daly: What's Next for The Nine's Nick?

ABC's The Nine, which premiered just last week, wasted no time in stirring up all kinds of questions and mysteries, first and foremost being, as the ad campaign says, "What happened in there?" For the show's second episode (airing tonight at 10 pm/ET), we stole a few minutes with TV vet Tim Daly, who plays not-good-but not-entirely-bad cop Nick Cavanaugh. TVGuide.com: The way you saw it, how did Nick differ from other roles you have been offered over the years?Tim Daly: I like Nick because he's a very human character. He's flawed. He's the kind of guy who creates all his own problems. He's a guy who's in the police force, which relies on people obeying the chain of command, and he has a horrible problem with authority. He's got this gambling problem, an ex-wife, he's a wiseass... and yet he's a really good guy, and I thought there was an opportunity to see him change significantly, as we do with all these characters, after he goes

Question: You said in your June 14 column that Tru Calling was coming back, but there's nothing on Fox's website about it. Are you sure this is correct information? Answer: Let me get this straight: You just found out that Patch is alive and you're busy trolling Fox's website for nonexistent program information? Talk about messed-up priorities. Go tend to your one-eyed hubby, for chrissakes.
