(S02E08) As much as I enjoy this show, I'm always afraid that it's going to start becoming too Sheldon-centric. Sheldon is easily the quirkiest character, so falling into the trap of, "hey, check out this ridiculous thing that guy said," over and over again would be quite easy. So far though, the writers have managed to avoid that; which is why I was happy to have a Wolowitz episode this week.
Of course, Sheldon was still there being his ridiculous self, but he wasn't there to move the plot along; much as his "Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock" game didn't move anything along (everyone always picked Spock).

New View cohost Sherri Shepherd is going to star in a new sitcom for The CW.
The show will be about a woman who discovers that her hubby has cheated on her and has a kid with another woman. The other family moves in with them (wacky sitcom premise!) and then the gang travels around the world, trying to prove that the earth is flat.

So we are doing a little new thing here at TV Squad: the audio interview. It is part interview, part podcast, all fun. Please bear with us (or more specifically me) as we get the format down to something that is both interesting and informative to you, the audience -- kind of like
Bill Nye the Science Guy. Only instead of science we have interviews with celebrities ... same difference.
It began last week with
Joel's interview with Rob McElhenney of
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Today I am posting a phone interview I did with Zach Levi of
Chuck, which premieres tonight at 8 p.m. EST. If you read my
Early Look post, you know that I love this show. Now that I have seen the third episode -- oh, the perks of TV blogging -- my opinions have been confirmed. However, I may have been biased when watching my episodes, because of this interview.
As you will hear, Zach Levi is the nicest guy alive. Very humble and thankful to be in the game. Unlike last week's audio, this is pretty much
SFW.Continue reading Zachary Levi of Chuck: The TV Squad Interview - AUDIO

NBC's new lineup continued on day two of its press presentation with
Chuck, a one-hour drama by Josh Schwartz and McG, the creative team that brought viewers
The O.C. The new series stars Zachary Levi, best known for his four years on
Less Than Perfect.
If we're supposed to like Chuck, Levi's well cast in the role. He has a self-effacing way about him, especially when asked if he's bulked up over the last few years. He jokes he's eaten a lot of pizza and doesn't work out as much as he should.
Co-star Adam Baldwin is asked a question pretty much everyone knows the answer to. No, he's not related to the famous acting Baldwin brothers of Long Island. Baldwin jokes he hopes to meet Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) now that they're both on NBC so they can settle this in person.

I was watching
Less Than Perfect last night
(yes, it's back on ABC... yes, I thought it was cancelled, too), and the first thing I noticed was that Sara Rue had
lost weight. A LOT of weight. Not that this is the first time I've seen the skinny Sara (I think I saw her skinny self
on an episode of
Ellen or something), but I had forgotten just how much she had slimmed down since her sitcom
started four years ago.
But here's the thing: I don't understand why she had to lose the weight to begin
with.

I've always found Andy Dick to be a very
talented, guy. I know, I know, a lot of people don't seem to like him, but, well, screw them.
I was checking
out his offical web site, and besides finding out about the new film he has,
Danny Roane: First Time Director
(with an impressive cast: Ben Stiller, Maura Tierney, Jack Black, James Van Der Beek, and more), I also came across an
entire page of free mp3s of songs he's written. Very entertaining. Check out
"A. Dick Theme," about all the jokes that have been made about his last name (note: some songs are rather
explicit).

Not gonna lie, I really thought this show was canceled. Apparently
though, ABC actually renewed the show for a fourth season last year and then just stopped talking about. That is until
yesterday when an ABC press release announcing the move of Commander in Chief to Thursdays also quietly
mentioned the return of Less Than Perfect. What?!?! The season four premiere of LTP (entitled
"Sex, Lies, and Office Supplies") is now scheduled to air on Tuesday April 18 at 9:30 PM. Now maybe it's
just me, but isn't April a little late in the year to air a sitcom premiere?
