The TV King

Werewolves are one of the most highly anticipated creatures on True Blood's third season, besides vampires. And while fans are certainly looking forward to meet werewolf Alcide in the form of Joe Manganiello, lead star Stephen Moyer is thrilled about something else: working with real wolves. 

If anyone needed advice, it's this crop of American Idol semi-finalists. Luckily, they now have me, their Dear Abbey.

This season, I'll be answering fictional questions from the semi-finalists of American Idol about the pressing issues of the week. In my debut column, I answered questions from now eliminated contestants Haeley Vaughn and Jermaine Sellers, clearly they paid the ultimate price for not following my expert advice. This week, I'm answering questions from Didi Benami, Tim Urban, Katelyn Epperly, Casey James and Todrick Hall, hopefully two weeks of Simon Cowell has prepared them for Dear Abbey.

We're just a month and four days away from Glee's return, fellow gleeks! Well, if you just can't wait, "Sectionals" will be aired again after American Idol tonight. But while seeing Sue get suspended and Will kiss Emma gives us this eerie satisfaction, it's still not a new episode, so I'm still here, checking up on you, asking more questions and inviting you to discuss things of significant importance... at least to McKinley High.

I'm surprised by the amount of reaction from you, the loyal gleekdom, over who Rachel should hook up with. Okay, it's Finn, it's a given. But the other thing I realized: all this attention on who hooks up with who has left at least four members of New Directions a bit in the cold. I therefore christen them as the Backing Four: Brittany (I'm sure Sue didn't call her "Dutch!"), Santana ("Santana!"), Mike ("other Asian!") and Matt ("Shaft!").

Today FOX announced its summer schedule and there will be a lot of new action to choose from.  Reality giants So You Think You Can Dance and Hell's Kitchen will return while scripted shows Lie to Me and the canceled Past Life will find their way back to the lineup.  Summer will also mark the premiere of a new FOX drama, the buddy cop show The Good Guys starring The West Wing's Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks.
