More Fall TV Previews

Want to know what is going to happen on your favorite TV show when it returns this fall? MSNBC has a good round up, but beware, spoilers abound. If you want to be surprised (and how many of us really do want to be surprised?), stop reading now. I'm just gonna hit the highlights. If you want all the dirt, read the whole thing.

Desperate Housewives: Make no mistake or hold out any hope, Rex is dead. Bree wrangles with her mother-in-law (Shirley Knight) over funeral arrangements.

Lost: Everyone on the raft survives, we find out what is in the hatch (and the producers are sure people aren't going to like it), two new characters are added to a desert island (Michelle Rodriguez and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and we are supposed to find out why the plane crashed by the end of season two. Should be a wild ride. And a good one.

Alias: I'm pegging this one as the disappointment of the season. Producers say this probably be the last season. Jen is going to be in every episode, which will probably result in a long break mid-season for maternity leave. And if the horrible writing of season three didn't kill it, scheduling the show to play on Thursday night will. There is only one reigning king on Thursday, and it isn't going to be Alias.

Smallville: Smallville is usually pretty guarded when it comes to giving away any spoilers about an upcoming season, but here are a few things to look forward to. James Marsters of "Buffy" (Spike) fame comes on board as Braniac. That should be way cool. Ex-Duke Tom Wopat makes an appearance, and the show is currently negotiating to bring former Superman Dean Cain onboard. Still the super hero show to watch.

Other shows the article covers are Boston Legal, Veronica Mars, House, That 70's Show, and a few others. Check it out.
