Oprah has given notice, and people are just setting themselves on fire in the streets over it. No, I do not know why.

Thursday's news is here from the future. And what a pleasant future it shall be! Aaron Sorkin, television genius, will once again grace us with his presence, The Primetime Emmy Awards are set for August, and reality shows about cooking go to the next level.

Casting, casting, casting! Where a woman is a woman and a man is an Elvis impersonator! Where Harry Potter gets animated, and Tim Gunn gets even more legendary! Where a crook becomes a cop, and Ethan Embry is still alive, apparently!

Will Arnett is popping up on a new primetime sitcom soon. Yes, it's the one you'd assume it is.

It's a good day for TV nerd news. Vampire Diaries, Fringe, Smallville, Dollhouse, Firefly, Charmed, Terminator, Doctor Who -- all magnificently nerdy, and all tied into nerd-newsworthy announcements.

It's Friday the 13th, and things are amiss in television land. The TV gods are toiling with things that should be left alone, and John Harvard is rolling over in his nearly 400-year-old grave.

Katherine Heigl's taking another break, but this time it's for a better reason than last time.

A moment of silence, please. Or, at least, a moment of not Twittering. That's the same as silence nowadays, right? A Joss Whedon show has been cancelled (probably), which means that another angel has gotten its wings, which is also a metaphor for puberty.

Fox, I'm begging you -- please leave Fringe alone.

As long as Joss Whedon TV series are getting unceremoniously canceled (so, forever), there will always be comic book sequels to supply a much-needed fix. And while we're sure a Dollhouse comic will be a necessity in the future, in the meantime, you can enjoy more Dr. Horrible. Plus, what movie star is Jack Donaghy making out with now?
