It’s Day 2 of our Ultimate Female Law-Enforcement Crushes Bracket Tournament, and we’ve got undercover agents, military investigators, FBI profilers and rookie cops in the mix — all with one thing in common: They’re total hotties.

Female Law-Enforcement Crushes Tourney Opens With Castle, X-Files, Medium, Warehouse 13 and V

Every afternoon over the next few weeks, we’ll launch another set of bouts that will have you dialing 911 with an emergency of lusty proportions. So make sure the right choice is made by heading down to our polls to vote for your favorites (Round 1 voting will be open for...

Their stated goal is to uphold the law of the land and put the bad guys behind bars, but every TV fan knows that our favorite small-screen cops, detectives, and agents — as well as their colleagues who semi-officially serve in crime-fighting capacities — have a duty to increase pulses and raise the temperatures of whatever rooms they enter.

We recently wrapped up a 64-player bracket tournament for male law-enforcement types — won by NCIS‘ Tony Dinozzo — and since we’re equal opportunity oglers/romantics, we figured we’d better construct a similar showdown for their female counterparts.

Today, we kick things off with hotties from The X-Files,...

The Cartoon Network will premiere their first original movie, "Firebreather", based on the Image Comics series, by Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn, Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010. The CGI feature is directed by Peter Chung ("Aeon Flux") and written by Jim Krieg.

"...It's not easy being a teen like 'Duncan'. His mom wants him to pay more attention to his homework, while his dad -- a 120-foot, fire-breathing 'Kaiju' from the depths of the earth -- wants him to follow in his monstrous footsteps. Duncan faces trials by fire from two worlds -- in one, overcoming his father's challenges to prepare for the Kaiju throne; in the other, coping with life in a new high school. Ultimately, Firebreather is a story of a boy choosing between two different paths put before him by his parents. Through it all, only Duncan can determine his own future..."

Check out some new pics from Cartoon Network's upcoming "Firebreather" series which is directed by Peter Chung ("Aeon Flux") and based on the comic book series by Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn.

"Firebreather" delivers fierce action in the clash of two worlds where monsters roam the Earth and past secrets are exposed. At the center of it all, a teenage boy named Duncan struggles to find his place as half-Kaiju and half-human. It’s not easy being a teen like Duncan. His mom wants him to pay more attention to his homework.

Wow -- that was one filled-to-bursting "Chuck" on Monday (Oct. 11). Between the return of Generalissimo Goya, Chuck's big conversation with Ellie, Casey owning every scene he was in, the Awesome statue, Morgan and Alex ... you get the idea. Lots and lots of stuff going on.

All of it, though, came back to relationships, and all of them had significant developments. So let's break it down.

Chuck and Sarah: After the not-proposal of last week, Morgan tells Chuck that he and Sarah are "crap communicators" -- which, really, no argument here. Aided by self-help guru Dr. Fred's latest book (side note: Why would there be a book signing at the Buy More?), Chuck initiates a series of "useful" but occasionally very silly conversations, bringing up Sarah's defenses and her essential fear of commitment: "Why do we always have to talk and change things? Why can't we just be?"

They each...

Oh, Chuck.  I come back to you week after week looking to have my mind blown by unlikely sources.  I had hoped that "Chuck Vs. The Coup D'Etat" would make up for the stagnant indecision of last weeks' "Cubic Z," but it sadly offered up nothing more than a distracted, if lightly entertaining relationship piece.

There's an important moment early on during the power-couple's trip to the Costa Gravan palace, wherein the jilted wife of Armand Assante's Generalissimo speaks of her impending coup as a return to socialism against capitalism.  One wouldn't expect Chuck to create extensive discourse about such a charged political issue, but boiling down the conflict to relationship troubles speaks volumes about the show's well-documented problems.

It's not that Chuck and Sarah are a bad couple; Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski practically bleed chemistry.  But whereas the will they/won't they drama long hindered the show's ability to create original storytelling,...

Look out, Casey! Your very own A-Team will set its sights on you on the fourth episode of Chuck this season.

As Entertainment Weekly first reported, Batista (former WWE champion), Eric Roberts (brother of Julia, veteran actor) and Joel David Moore (Bones) will guest star on "Chuck Versus the Coup d’Etat."

The installment will focus on the aforementioned trio, as they portray Casey’s former soldier friends from the Clinton era.... gone rogue!

Look for the unit to seek revenge against their former partner on an episode that also features Tia Texada and the return of Armand Assante.

When Armand Assante returns to Chuck on this fall's fourth episode, he won't come back alone.

As Premier Alejandro Goya, Assante will be lucky enough to have Tia Texada on his arm. The 38-year-old actress, who recurs as Shay on ABC Family's Huge, will portray Goya's wife on the NBC hit, a woman named Hortencia.

The character will be in possession of a key secret and we'll meet her when Chuck and company visit the Premier's island in his native Costa Gravas.

Weekend TV bits for your noshing pleasure ...

NBC has been doing so well lately with new, promising programming. And then it decides to renew "Last Call With Carson Daly." [Deadline]

CNN is fine with letting Larry King go ... as long as he's willing to postpone his last show, which was supposed to air in the fall, till the end of the year. It seems Piers Morgan is having some visa trouble.

One month away from the season 4 premiere, a featurette of "Chuck" is released to tease on what will happen to Chuck and Morgan. Some scenes taken from the last season when Morgan finally found out that Chuck is a spy are inserted before creator Josh Schwartz explains the quality of bromance between them.

Schwartz revealed the reason why Morgan was let into the world of spies, saying that the relationship was so crucial in the first season that the only thing that would get them in the same screen would be to reveal the secret to Morgan. Joshua Gomez who plays Morgan chipped in, "I'm like a [Spider-Man's girlfriend] Mary Jane now, which is odd."

"Chuck" returns to NBC on September 20 with the episode "Chuck vs. the Anniversary". TV Guide has just disclosed that actress Tia Texada will guest star as Hortencia aka Armand Assante's character's wife. Coming with a secret,...
