The Office
The Futon Critic posts the NBC press release announcing that the second round of Office webisodes, as well as the first round for Heroes, will premiere at the beginning of July. Series cast members appearing online include Brian Baumgartner (Kevin), Oscar Nunez (Oscar), Leslie David Baker (Stanley), and Craig Robinson (Darryl).
Scrubs
TV Guide reports that, à la House, Scrubs is getting some fresh shiny faces to go along with its new shiny network next season, the show’s last. Joining the cast are Aziz Ansari (Human Giant), Betsy Beutler (The Black Donnellys), and Eliza Coupe (Unhitched, The Flight of the Conchords).
I’m not too familiar with any of the newbies but best wishes to them at the new gig all the same.
The Big Bang Theory
Fancast not only interviews Big Bang Theory standout Jim Parsons (Sheldon, the sheltered genius), but the website also posts a slew of very nice photos snapped on-set during the filming of the most recent episode, “The Peanut Reaction.”

Judging by the mediocre and mostly uninteresting results of television’s two latest attempts — ABC’s Cashmere Mafia and NBC’s Lipstick Jungle — the answer is an emphatic “Not at the moment.”
If you’re a fan of the chick-TV comedy genre, check out the article The Next “Sex and the City”? to learn more than you ever thought you would about the arrival and rise of Sex and the City, and why the influential relationship show’s legacy still has such a stranglehold on the development fantasies of clueless TV network executives — most of whom are male, I might add, not that that’s an acceptable excuse.
