She'll be the second Deschanel on the Fox network, joining her sister Emily who stars on Bones.

The characters were introduced in a Bones episode in April. Hart Hanson wrote the pilot and will executive-produce.

Finally, Alcatraz centers on a cop (Sarah Jones) and a team of FBI agents who track down a group of missing Alcatraz prisoners and guards who reappear in the present day after disappearing 30 years earlier. J.J. Abrams will executive-produce and Liz Sarnoff (Lost) will be the showrunner.

FOX CANCELS "THE GOOD GUYS"

  FOX cancels "The Good Guys" after just one season and 20 episodes.

"LIE TO ME" SEASON 3 CUT SHORT

 
Released by Miss TV Girl

FOX has decided  not to order additional episodes of "Lie to Me" for its third season. This means that the third season will air only 13 episodes.  No word yet on whether or not this signals an eventual cancellation for the series, but it is not a good sign for a renewal.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

Personally, I  have not really enjoyed the  new directions of the series.  Tim Roth as the intimidating rebel with a cause is so over the top and  a little unbelievable and I am saying this a fan of the show and Tim Roth.

The last original episode is scheduled to air Monday, January 31st.

MEKHI PHIFER EXITS "LIE TO ME"

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl

 Mekhi Phifer will not be a part of season 3 of "Lie to Me", due to a change in the dramatic structure of the show.

"The FBI franchise limited our storytelling a little bit because it had to adhere to the FBI structures of 'Would the FBI take this case or not?"' said executive producer David Graziano in the interview. "The character that's going to be our badge this season is a bent cop, Wolowsky (  Monique Gabriela Curnen) , who goes about business in a similar way to Lightman. There's a mutual respect from the get-go. We're working hard to make The Lightman Group a dysfunctional family.''

Sorry to see Phikfer leave, but I never truly felt that "Lie to Me" was a good fit for him and his talents. However, I am really looking forward to see where he pops up next.

The season 2 finale, 'Black and White,'airs tonight.  Season 3 debuts Nov. 10.
