Primetime casting news: 'True Blood,' '24' and 'Grey’s' testing captions Get ready for a couple of fresh faces - and one familiar one - in the spring and summer lineup of television dramas. HBO’s vampire series “True Blood” continues to attract new blood. “Southland" co-star Kevin Alejandro will be appearing on the series as an orderly who gets involved with line cook Lafayette. Because Lafayette's plotline isn't included in the Charlaine Harris series of books on which the show is based, we're all excited to see how their romance pans out. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alejandro will continue to appear on “Southland,” which will air on TNT starting January 12 after moving from its previous home at NBC. FULL POST

Getting ready for 'The Bachelor'On January 4, my wife and I will resume a tradition that dates back to when we first met nearly five years ago. We will be watching the new season of "The Bachelor" in its entirety. I'm no fan of most "reality" programs, but there's something about "The Bachelor" and its sister show "The Bachelorette" that makes me want to tune in. These shows are the equivalent of standing at the side of the road, waiting until the next five-car accident takes place. And on "The Bachelor," these wrecks happen early and often.

'Babysitters Club' returns
 testing captions I wasn’t very excited when George Lucas decided to do a prequel to “Star Wars.” I can’t get jazzed about Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit.” But Ann M. Martin writing a prequel to “The Babysitters Club” is something I can really get behind. Like thousands of other women now approaching our late 20s and early 30s, I grew up with the members of the Babysitters Club. Of course I want to see what Kristy, Claudia and Mary Anne were up to before Kristy had the big idea to start the club when her mom couldn’t find a sitter for her younger brother David Michael. The BSC (as it is fondly known to fans) inspired a generation of young women in friendship and entrepreneurship. Now publisher Scholastic Inc. is hoping it will inspire a new generation of girls.
