Need some action figures to keep your Star Wars ones company? Well, Toys R Us is carrying a brand new line of action figures based on the characters from Lost.

The Lost Series 1 line, hitting shelves nationwide on Monday, features collectible figures of some of the show’s most popular characters: Jack, Kate, Locke, Charlie, Shannon and Hurley. The collection also includes the pièce de résistance, a hatch playset. The geek-cool detailed diorama depicts the closing moments of season one’s finale, complete with “light-up feature.”

How cool is that?

But where is Sawyer? Apparently he is still in the pipeline, along with Sayid and Jon.

What About Brian, a midseason replacement series last spring that had a surprisingly good run has been picked up for the entire second season of the series.

ABC has ordered a full season of “What About Brian,” a sophomore drama about a group of close-knit friends.

After a midseason debut last spring, “What About Brian” received a surprising second-season pickup in May.

So far this season, the ensemble drama has improved slightly over its performance last season in the Monday 10 p.m. slot among total viewers (6.7 million vs. 6.3 million).

What About Brian stars Barry Watson as Brian, Matthew Davis as Adam, Sarah Lancaster as Marjorie, Rick Gomez as Dave, Amanda Detmer as Deena, Rosanna Arquette as Nic and Raoul Bova as Angelo.

No such luck for Justice getting the opportunity to at least run the first 13 episodes of this Victor Garber series. FOX has pulled this series from the air effective immediately.

The dismissal comes after the Victor Garber vehicle failed to gain traction in two different slots — its original Wednesday 9 p.m. berth and, most recently, Monday at 9 p.m., following “Prison Break.”

In its airing last week, “Justice” averaged 5.9 million viewers, holding on to just half of the “Prison Break” lead-in.

No word if the remaining episodes will be available for download on FOX.com, which has become a popular option for dead series this fall.

Ray Liotta’s cancelled series Smith will live on in cyberspace, thanks to episodes being made available online so fans can watch all seven taped episodes at their convenience.

CBS will air the four remaining original episodes of the canceled Ray Liotta crime drama “Smith” on its Innertube broadband outlet.

The network streamed the show’s first three episodes for a week each after their initial broadcasts. Those will be rerun, allowing viewers to see all seven episodes in their entirety. The show’s writers will provide a synopsis on CBS.com of how producers planned to resolve the serialized drama.

Also, the show’s producer, Warner Bros. Television, is making all episodes of the show, which delves into the world of high-stakes robberies, available via digital download this month, along with AOL, Amazon and Apple’s iTunes Store.

“Smith” also stars Virginia Madsen, Simon Baker, Amy Smart and Jonny Lee Miller.

Fans will remember this series was the first series to be canceled this season from any network.

Somehow, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, also known as the series that refuses to die, has somehow managed to pull off a pickup for the entire first season. However, it decides a major part of the decision was the fact Warner Brothers dropped their licensing fee for the back 9 episodes.

After days of speculation, NBC has ordered a full season’s worth of episodes for “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” the critically praised drama whose poor ratings placed it on the brink of cancellation.

Sources said NBC will pay the show’s producer, Warner Bros. Television, a lower license fee for the nine additional episodes than they negotiated for the initial 13 episodes, which was said to be in the range of $2.5 million-$3 million per episode.

NBC and Warner Bros. TV declined comment. “Studio 60,” from “West Wing” mastermind Aaron Sorkin, is set behind the scenes of a late-night sketch comedy show. It stars Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford and Amanda Peet.

Airing behind the breakout new hit of the season, “Heroes,” “Studio 60″ got off to a promising start, but the ratings quickly fell. This week, the series averaged 7.7 million viewers overall and finished third in the hour.

No word yet if Studio 60 will remain at one of its two former time slots, or if NBC will try the series at yet another time slot to see if it can find its best spot in the timeslot lineup.

The Singles Table, a mid-season replacement series for NBC has had its original order of thirteen episodes cut back to only 6 episodes. The six episodes have already been taped (the pilot plus five additional episodes).

The series revolves around five strangers who meet at a wedding by all being placed at the singles table. The series included Alicia Silverstone (who replaced Pascale Hutton who played the same character in the series pilot) as well as Rhea Seehorn, Jarrad Paul, Conor Dubin, John Cho.

There is no word on when the six half-hour episodes will be aired.

You either love Steve-O or you hate him. But he is pretty much always entertaining. And he will be guest starring on the November 9th episode of The O.C.

And even better, we have the promo!

Kristin from E! comes through with the juiciest spoilers for a single episode yet this season.

You knew it was going to happen - Kate and Sawyer are going to do it! And all this in an episode that sees Kate getting married in a flashback.

I had forgotten about the glass eye that was found last season, so bets are on it belongs to Mr. Eye Patch.

Ben’s pants are on fire! And I’m guessing Juliet’s are, too. That seemingly untrustworthy she-devil obviously seems to be a part of a bigger plan by Ben to get Jack to trust someone, but Jules at least was telling the truth when she said this: Ben is a liar, and a dangerous man. We’ve known this from the first day we laid eyes on the artist then known as Henry Gale, when his captor, Rousseau, warned, “Know this. He will lie. A long time. He will lie.” Nutty Frenchy-poo wasn’t so nutty after all, was she?

Speaking of Nutty Frenchy-poo, we will begin to see more of her daughter, Alex, next week, who will have a substantial role this season, and slowly, the revelation of why The Others have abducted so many children. Gaa! And speaking of…

Crazy theory of the week: If Juliet and some of the other Others really do want to kill Ben, why haven’t they just done it? Well, what if that little girl we were supposed to see in Jack’s room in the season premiere (the one ABC had a photo of on the media site) is Juliet’s daughter? Is Ben somehow holding her, and other children, hostage (a la Walt) as a way to keep the parents under his creepy little thumb? Discuss in the comments below!

Patchy McPatchalot (a k a the Sleestak) seen in the hatch video is not someone we have met, nor heard of before. But we may have already seen a part of him! Don’t forget that last season, the Tailies found a glass eye. Coinkindink? I think not! It’s also safe to assume that Patch is at the Flame station, given that the others are taken or destroyed, and the Arrow and the Staff didn’t have computer equipment (at least that we’ve seen).

Coming up: Kate and Sawyer do it! Sorry, but if you Jaters had any doubt on whom Kate will “choose,” I think the promo of next week of Sawyer and Kate ripping each other’s clothing off should give it all away. Come to momma. I’ll hold you.

Also, Jack does operate but I wouldn’t worry about Ben going anywhere (Michael Emmerson is a series regular) and Locke picks up Eko’s cross–and spiritual journey– while a certain TV diva vows to wear black for the rest of the season to mourn her beloved SexAAA loss.

And after this episode, we are stuck waiting 3 months for anything new

After doing politics on The West Wing, Rob Lowe has signed on with Brothers & Sisters to play, surprise surprise, a politician!

Hottie Rob Lowe will be playing a Republican US Senator who is running for re-election while going through a nasty divorce in California. He will make an appearance on Kitty’s (Calista Flockheart) political TV show, and apparently the sparks will fly.

This role was written exclusively for Lowe by executive producer Jon Robin Baitz, who wrote an episode of The West Wing during Lowe’s tenure on the series. He is currently signed on as a recurring guest role, appearing in six episodes as Kitty’s love interest, but producers are hoping Lowe might be convinced to sign on permanently.

Be still my heart.

The Stanley Tucci led show 3 Lbs (I still don’t get the name) now has a series premiere date. As suspected, the new series will take the slot of the cancelled series Smith, airing Tuesdays at 10pm. The first episode airs November 14th.

The new CBS medical drama, which appears to be a cross of just about every medical drama currently on the air, stars Stanley Tucci, Mark Feuerstein, Indira Varma, Tamara Taylor, & Armando Riesco.

I am still not sure about this one, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it fares any better than Smith did.

Rumors abound after Eddie Izzard abruptly quit the hit series 24 after only one day of taping. There has been plenty of speculation, but Izzard claims it is simply because 24 wanted him to sign on for possible additional episodes later in the season, and he declined due to conflicts with his upconing Minnie Driver series The Riches.

David Hunt, the husband of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’s’ Patricia Heaton, has now been brought on board for the role of the villian.

It is an interesting decision for someone to voluntarily leave a juicy role on 24, I hope it works out for him.

There has been a lot of talk about Kidnapped being pulled from the schedule due to its low ratings. There was some hope since the producers had been told to wrap up the mystery of the kidnapping within the 13 episodes ordered.

NBC has now officially pulled the blog on the series, although fans (all 3 of you) will be able to catch the final unaired 8 episodes of the series online at NBC.com. Fans should keep an eye on the Kidnapped website for updates as to when the episodes will be available.

We met Calleigh’s former love-interest-turned-bad-boy on the hot episode “Going Under” when Calleigh (Emily Procter) was run off the road. Now Jake Berkeley (Johnny Whitworth) will be back on the episode “Going Going Gone” set to air November 20th.

First, we have to wonder if the episode title is a play off the previous one he appeared in. And second, we know Calleigh gets a boyfriend this season.

And the best reason to believe this spoiler? Writer/Producer Marc Dube had this to say:

And last, but not least, let’s not forget there’s a new potential boyfriend for Calleigh Dusquesne, and he’s played by Johnny Whitworth. There’s chemistry, folks. Stay tuned.

Everything points to hottie Jake being “The One”!

Scrubs is one of those proven-yet-not-a-runaway-hit shows that seems to get shuffled around and put off til later. Well, later is here and Scrubs has been given its launch date for the sixth season of the comedy series.

Scrubs will premiere on November 30th at 9pm on NBC. Unfortunately, that is the toughest time slot of the week, airing against Grey’s Anatomy, The O.C., CSI and Supernatural. OUCH!

Mark Deklin, whom Justice fans will remember as Dr. Matthew Shaw, is joining the cast of ABC’s Desperate Housewives. He arrives just in time for November sweeps, and will be on tap for at least three shows.

He will play a handsome widower and will play Gabrielle’s latest love interest, but those are the only details the show is releasing at the moment. His first airdate is November 26th.

Isn’t it great when a show has great male eye candy for us ladies to enjoy?

Medium fans will be happy to hear that not only is Medium returning to air earlier than expected (as reported here) but now the season will launch with a special two hour season premiere.

The two hour season premiere will air Wednesday, November 15th from 9-11pm. It will air at its regular timeslot the following week on Wednesdays, 10-11pm.

The season premiere might be the episode featuring Patricia Arquette’s real-life husband Thomas Jane, although that one may be put off to later in the season due to special effects the show is using for it.

And we have one more Medium spoiler we will be posting for your enjoyment very soon!
