To promote the upcoming release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the film's distributer has teamed with NBC to create promos for the movie featuring NBC show stars. These hilarious and brief clips have been airing between their hit summer series like America's Got Talent and are so unexpected that they've caught the attention of many TV viewers.
Two of the clips feature Hellboy and Chuck's Chuck (Zachary Levi) hanging out and playing video games. Seeing as how both have experience being involved with top secret government agencies, and how both are just big kids at heart, their not-so-unlikely partnership is especially amusing to watch.

We all know how funny new mom and recent fashion icon Nicole Richie can be. On The Simple Life, her show with fellow socialite and former BFF Paris Hilton, Richie is often the hilarious one, breaking the rules and taking pleasure in seeing people's reaction when she says or does something totally outrageous.
Such comedic abilities will be put to test when Richie guest-stars in the NBC comedy Chuck as super agent Sarah Walker's (played by Yvonne Strahovski) high school nemesis who will make a grand and perhaps unwelcome return in her life on their 10 year high school reunion.

Josh Schwartz has done well since The OC went off the air. Wunderkids like Schwartz (who became the youngest show runner in modern TV history when he took the helm of The OC) have a tendency to fizzle out quickly, but Schwartz took little time in proving that he wasn't going to be a one hit wonder. The season after The OC sputtered to its abrupt ending, Schwartz struck back with two new series: Chuck and Gossip Girl. While he is the executive producer of Gossip Girl, he's far more involved with Chuck, writing many of the episodes and acting as the driving creative force behind the series. Chuck, though the less media-hyped of the two series, has still done well for itself, earning a second season from NBC. As the Chuck team gets ready for production, titular star Zachary Levi dropped some knowledge on a TV Guide reporter while at Sunday's benefit for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

For fans of Arrested Development, the mourning process is never over. Though the high concept comedy lasted three brilliant seasons, it's hard not to feel like it was cut off far too soon. So it's always exciting to hear when a member of its talented ensemble cast gets more work.
This time it's Baby Buster's turn to get a shot at a hit as Tony Hale joins the cast of Chuck during its second season. With Chuck's successful first season, we can hopefully assume that the former one-handed man-child's time on the show will last longer than his stint on the blink and you missed it Andy Barker P.I.

Today NBC announced a more detailed schedule for its Fall premieres, including a few changes. The Molly Shannon/Selma Blair sitcom Kath and Kim will move from Tuesdays to Thursdays, leaving room for The Biggest Loser to gain 30 extra minutes. Also, the new series America's Toughest Jobs from the producers of Ice Road Truckers, will premiere this Fall as opposed to next Summer, which NBC originally planned.
Additionally, NBC announced premiere dates for all of its shows. Heroes is returning one week later than previously announced and 30 Rock fans will undoubtedly be upset, and with good reason. Read on to see the new NBC Fall 2008 schedule and premiere dates.

For 13 episodes, viewers have come to know Chuck Bartowski as the “average computer-whiz-next-door” whose brain is embedded with the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets on television series Chuck. Soon, however, fans will get to know the characters of the NBC action sitcom in a different light. According to TV Guide, the producers behind the show have decided to come up with a six-issue comic series that is independent from the storylines of the show.
"Since we can do absolutely anything in a comic book, we're going to take Chuck Bartowski out of the confines of the Buy More store and put him on crazy, globe-trotting spy adventures a la James Bond,” co-writer Peter Johnson, who also wrote the TV-to-comic adaptation Supernatural: Rising Son, told TV Guide.
