Attention, television fans: Wee fledgling TV shows need your help!

All of the new fall shows have premiered, and as quickly as they came into our lives, some of them will be departing due to low ratings.

These series are all very much on the bubble, because of low ratings, lack of critical response or some combination thereof. Each one has unique circumstances, but all are unlikely to live out the year, unless something drastic happens to convince network bosses that they should take a second look. And that's what this special fall edition of Save One Show is all about: We're giving you fans a chance to explain why your show deserves another chance.

So which of the shows on shaky ground do you most want to see more of?

• Dollhouse Pulled: Fox confirms to us that Dollhouse will be off the air for November sweeps. It will return with new episodes on Dec. 4. The fourth episode airs tomorrow night, with guest star Alexis Denisof (Mr. Alyson Hannigan).

• Glee, Part One: This might be the best tweet ever: @neildiamond Hey, so who's this guy Puck singing "Sweet Caroline" so good,so good,so good on #Glee? Loved it!! (@Mark_Salling must be a puddle of goo right about now.)

• Glee, Part Two: A rep for Fox tells us there is "no truth to my knowledge" that Glee is planning to slap back at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's recent diss by doing a spring episode about the Glee club being excluded from a school parade.

• The Big Bang Theory: The hot geek cameo du jour is apparently CBS' Big Bang Theory. Star Trek's Wil Wheaton appeared on this Monday's ep, and now Battlestar babe Katee Sackhoff is set to stop by later this year. Nerds rejoice!

• Top Chef Masters: Mmmm...delicious news! Bravo has renewed Top Chef Masters for season two. But who do you think will win this season of regular Top Chef: Kevin, Jen or a yummy Voltaggio brother?

Rebecca in San Diego: Kristin, is the Lost holdout Mira Furlan (Rousseau)?

According to our favorite frenemy, Jennifer Morrison's run as Dr. Allison Cameron on House will end midseason, and her exit was a creative decision on the part of the producers. (Meaning Morrison didn't quit; she was written out.)

OK, so that's the alleged behind-the-scenes situation—according to a rep, "The show does not have any comment" on reports of Morrison's exit—but forget the Hollywood drama. What drives Cameron to ditch her job at Princeton-Plainsboro after more than five years in House's orbit?

Read on for the exclusive scoop we got from insiders on why Cameron leaves her husband and the hospital...

Let the record show that when cornered, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice boss Shonda Rhimes will outwit you, even if she has to stretch the truth a little.

Last summer, after tabloid reports surfaced that Izzie Stevens would have a brain tumor this season on Grey's Anatomy, we asked Shonda about the stories and she told us, point-blank "no"—there was no truth the stories.

Nine months later, after viewers rejected the season's major dead Denny plotline as patent nonsense—a situation that might have redeemed itself if those viewers had confirmation that he was a tumor-induced hallucination—Justin Chambers has confirmed that, duh, Izzie has a cancer.

What exactly did he say and when will we see the news onscreen?

"It's gone. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

This is what Lost boss Damon Lindelof promises me after tonight's two-hour season premiere, in which the Island claimed its latest casualty: Junkie Jack's scruffy facial rat's nest. (Hooray for Bic razors!)

Of course, it's that other apparent casualty who's really got us worried (the Lostie who's bloody knocking on heaven's door), not to mention the blast from the past who appears to be Daniel Faraday's mother, the revelation that Desmond is the key to everyone's survival and so much more...

Want to know what you may have missed in tonight's episode and scoop on what will go down next?

Of course you do, so light-flash on in here...

Lost is back in less than a week!

And to promote the best little island show since, well, ever (sorry, Gilligan and Ricardo Montalban), the show's big bosses Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse just showed critics episode three of the new fifth season and ponied up scoop!

So what do you need to know? Well, for starters, the time travel-kookiness is off the charts in season five.

But that's OK. They're making it up to us.

How? Well, according to Carlton: "It's the season of Josh." Yes, to counteract the hard-core sci-fi/physics/time-travel-loop-the-loop stuff this year (Daniel Faraday knows all, and boy does he tell all), the writers are making sure that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and his time-travel-loathing testy redneck temperament are front and center to soften the blow. His shirtless chest will also be featured prominently, but let's focus, shall we?

So what extra Sawyer goodness are we getting this season? Read on for that, a sneak peek at episode two and some tease-y goodies about episode three!

Sad announcement just made at the Television Critics Association 2009 Winter Press Tour: "Patrick Swayze checked himself into the hospital this morning for observation after coming down with pneumonia." The pneumonia is said to be a complication of chemotherapy treatments for Swayze's cancer.

Swayze was scheduled to join costar Travis Fimmel and producers in presenting A&E's new drama The Beast to critics.

According to A&E reps, Swayze specifically asked that the show go on and that they pass along a message from him about how "unbelievably proud" he is of the work they've done so far on The Beast.

Earlier this week, Swayze appeared in an interview with Barbara Walters and discussed his battle with pancreatic cancer.

"I'm going through hell," he said.
