No network is complete without the requisite medical drama series, and the CW is finally joining the ranks by adding one of their own to the primetime schedule.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the CW is forging ahead with HMS, an ensemble drama about a group of students at Harvard Medical School. And here's where it gets interesting -- Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is going to serve as co-executive producer.

Amy Holden Jones, who penned hit movies such as Mystic Pizza, Indecent Proposal and Beethoven, will write and produce the series, which was first shopped to the now-defunct WB five years ago.

One of the most difficult aspects of being an actor on a television show that hasn't hit it big in the ratings department is wondering whether or not you'll still have a job at the end of the day. It probably makes life a bit stressful. Now imagine going from a failing series to one of the most successful shows on primetime.

Such is the case with Kevin McKidd. Two years ago, I spoke with the extremely charming actor when he starred on the NBC drama Journeyman, a fantastic series that had the great misfortune of airing during the infamous writers strike. NBC's loss turned out to be ABC's gain as this talented actor landed a role on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Owen Hunt.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to chat with Kevin once more about his role on the hit series and what's ahead for his character as Teddy (played by Kim Raver), a woman from Owen's past, arrives at Seattle Grace this week. Could this be the beginning of the end for Owen and Cristina, or is their love strong enough to survive the most difficult of circumstances? Grey's fans should brace themselves for a very bumpy ride over the next few months...

The success of any television show depends on the fans (and the Nielsen ratings). It's hard not to feel helpless when nominations come out for other award shows since more often than not, your favorites don't get nominated.

Each year, the People's Choice Awards allow fans have the opportunity to let their voices be heard and choose the winner. One thing is clear -- TV fans are captivated by all things supernatural. If you want your favorites to win, you need to VOTE at the PCA website.

Although many of the nominees are perennial favorites, a few new shows and stars managed to get a nod this year. Did your favorites make the cut? Find out who was nominated for the annual People's Choice Award and then be sure to tune in when the winners are announced live on CBS on January 6, 2010.

Vampires may be in, but clearly witches are not quite as popular these days as they once were back in those Charmed days. Sadly, it looks as though the fabulous witches of ABC's Eastwick have cast their final spell.

According to Entertainment Weekly, ABC has chosen not to order the "back nine" for Eastwick -- which of course means that the series is done. Given that the show was consistently a ratings loser each week, the network gave the series an unusually long time to build up an audience. As a fan, even I have to admit that I knew the show was living on borrowed time from the moment the first set of ratings came out.

It looks as though ABC will air the remaining episodes, but I wouldn't be surprised if the show quietly slips off the schedule in the next few weeks.
