Be on the lookout for a number of famous guest stars to appear on your favorite shows this season. Check out a round-up of some recently-announced apppearances:• Actor/producer Jerry O'Connell is set to star opposite his real-life wife Rebecca Romijn on the season's final two episodes of Romijn's ABC hit 'Eastwick.'

What is NBC thinking? First, they refuse to revamp/cancel Jay Leno who is tanking, yet they cancel Southland, an outstanding program. Now, they have ordered more weeks of Mercy. I have deliberately watched all 3 of the new medical programs this season. Of the 3 of them, Mercy is without question the worst. Trauma is not too bad, but Three Rivers shows the most potential (imho). How sad to see NBC sink from the top to the bottom in network rankings. Hopefully someone there will wake up before they go under completely.
