Dollhouse: For those Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans who are still hurt by its cancellation, you're about to jump for joy. Summer Glau is heading to Dollhouse this season, playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku). Glau is recurring and joining the likes of Alexis Denisof, Jamie Bamber, Michael Hogan and Keith Carradine, who all guest star this season. Check out what former Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has to say about the reunion below.

Chuck: Superman is mentoring Chuck this season! Not literally, but Brandon Routh joins the cast in a multiepisode arc as Shaw, the new leader of the Intersect project. Look for the man of steel starting in the fourth episode. Could Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) be his Lois Lane?

90210: Meet Gia (Rumer Willis), the young, hot lesbian who joins the Blaze Newscast team, working with Silver, Navid and Adrianna. There are also some hot pics of the boys on the beach, but like Gia, we're not that interested.

Southland: NBC is pushing the sophomore drama back a month, now premiering Oct. 23 instead of its original date of Sept. 25. The network's excuse response is that it enables more marketing, but with Dollhouse growing into an unstoppable stunt-casting show, who'd want to go up against that premiere?

Leverage: TNT has renewed the Robin Hood-esque show for a third season of 15 episodes, which is slated to premiere next summer. While this summer's finale airs Sept. 9, the gang returns in the winter for the second half of the season.

What does the sexy Tahmoh have to say about the BSG cast reuniting? Click on to find out...

Tahmoh Penikett on acting opposite his former BSG castmembers on Dollhouse: "I did get to work with both of them and it made me so happy. It was different, but it was so cool. Both of their characters are so different from the ones they usually played. They're so different from their characters on Battlestar, and they both did a smashing job. Michael Hogan is amazing, and it was just so great to see Jamie on the show."

Final Shameless Plug: In case you don't get enough of Giuliana Rancic on E! News, her show Giuliana & Bill has been renewed for a second season, which you can watch on the Style channel, Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
