The CW Network has provided us with a brand new video for the first Smallville episode of 2010, entitled Disciple. The show returns to it’s 9th on Friday, January 22 to the CW Network. Click below for a glimpse at the TV spot for the episode!

Clark asks out Lois and Zod creates zombies in the new episode of Smallville, airing Friday, October 9 on the CW Network. Also, the search for a new hero!
In “Rabid,” the title of the Smallville episode airing Friday, October 9, Clark finally asks out Lois:

“I was hoping that we could grab something to eat tonight. Not that I’m saying that we should go on a date.”

And, evil Kryptonian Zod releases a virus that will turn humans zombies. After Lois is infected, the only way Clark can save her is by giving her an antidote made from his own blood!

Also, according to Aceshowbiz.com, the CW is looking to add another hero to the cast of Smallville. Described as “the most handsome and sexy of ALL the D.C. superheroes,” the actor they are looking for is a male aged 37 to 48 year old who has a “fantastic physique.”

I have to own up to being a massive fan of the hit series “Smallville,” so when I found out that the ninth season is coming soon, I was over the moon. And according to buddytv.com, CW is doing everything in their power not to disappoint the fans. They have even brought out a trailer, to increase the hype.

And after watching the trailer, which you can see for yourself below, I can’t wait until we get to see season 9. If you don’t want it spoiled for you, then don’t read any more. Season 9 will see Clark Kent (Tom Welling), embrace his destiny as the Man of Steel, with plenty of transformations along the way.

We will also see Chloe (Allison Mack), get tired of playing Clark’s sidekick, so she starts to stand out more, breaking away from the behind-the-scenes action in the process. And it looks like Oliver (Justin Hartley), is still battling off the demons, but more of a personal kind this time.

Season 9 will also see some newcomers to the show. One of them will be the villainous Metallo ( Brian Austin Green) and the others will be the mysterious duo, Tanner (David Gallagher) and Twyla (Allison Scagliotti). And it looks like season 9 is the season for Zod (Callum Blue).

Smallville is jumping on the zombie bandwagon.

Yesterday, we told you about the upcoming Medium-Night of The Living Dead mash-up. Now comes word that Clark Kent will be dealing with the undead in a season nine episode of Smallville.

The ep, called “Rabid,” will see a virus infecting the city of Metropolis that turns people into zombies. Click through to find out which two Smallville regulars will get infected.

The series most appealing ladies (sorry Chloe!) Tess Mercer and Lois Lane will reportedly be infected by the zombie plague. Actor Cameron Bancroft (24) will play Dr. Coats, a virologists working to either strengthen or stop the plague – we’re really not sure yet.

After Marvel Zombies, the Zombieland hype and the upcoming Star Wars zombie novel, I might be sick of the walking dead once this ep makes it to air. I’ll still watch it, of course. I wouldn’t want to miss watching Clark possibly use his heat vision to decapitate a walking corpse.

With Medium moving from NBC to its new home at CBS, some unusual things are happening, Zap2It.com reports. One of these will feature Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette) fighting zombies.

And not just any zombies, mind you, but the back-to-basics shambling intestine-eaters from George Romero’s imagination.

And not just any old imagined zombies but the ACTUAL critters from Night of the Living Dead, series creator Glenn Gordon Caron told the TV Critics Association press tour on Monday.

Yep, an upcoming Halloween episode of the show will feature Allison inserted Forrest Gump-style into footage from NotLD, as part of our heroine’s “dreamscape”.

One reason why the move to CBS allows Medium to do season-specific episodes like a Halloween special is that under NBC, the show never started a season earlier than mid-November (Halloween is on Oct 31).

Now the season has a definite Fall start date, in time for Halloween.

CBS has announced the premiere dates for its fall lineup, which will mostly launch during the week of Sept. 20, the official start of the 2009-2010 season.

In addition, the network announced that “Survivor: Samoa,” the 19th installment of the reality series, will start Sept. 17, a week prior to the formal launch of the season.

CBS’ new season will kick off Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. with the return of “How I Met Your Mother” and the premiere of the comedy “Accidentally on Purpose,” followed by “Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “CSI: Miami.”

Tuesday’s block will feature “NCIS,” followed by its spinoff, “NCIS: Los Angeles,” and the debut of the new drama “The Good Wife.”

Wednesday’s lineup will be “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” “Gary Unmarried,” “Criminal Minds” and “”CSI: NY.”

Thursday’s schedule will be “Survivor: Samoa,” followed by “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Mentalist” in its new 10 p.m. slot.

The move of NBC’s “Medium” to CBS will debut Sept. 25 at 9 p.m., preceded by “Ghost Whisperer” and followed by “Numb3rs.”

Saturday’s slate will be two hours of drama repeats, “Crimetime Saturday” followed by “48 Hours Mystery.” Sundays will mark the return of “60 Minutes” at 7 p.m., followed by “The Amazing Race” at 8 p.m. and “Cold Case” at 10 p.m. CBS’ new medical drama “Three Rivers” will premiere Oct. 4 at 9 p.m.

THE CAST for season ten of The Ultimate Fighter has leaked – and SunSport can reveal who will pit their wits against Kimbo Slice.

With the ninth instalment of the show ending on Saturday at the TUF 9 Finale, mixed martial arts fans are already eager to find out which men will make up the roster for the next series.

We understand that the full list of the 16 heavyweights who will compete for a six-figure contract with the UFC will be:

KIMBO SLICE: The YouTube phenomenon and former Elite XC headliner will be the main attraction in the new season. UFC president Dana White has continually derided the 35-year-old, claiming “he would get killed in the UFC”. It will be interesting to see if he is proved right.

ROY NELSON: Boasting a 13-4 MMA record, the 32-year-old is a former Elite XC fighter who is perhaps best known for being knocked out by Andrei Arlovski last October.

WES SIMS: Formerly on the UFC roster, the 29-year-old was cut after just one year in the promotion in 2004 after losing three successive fights to Frank Mir (twice) and Mike Kyle.

MARCUS JONES: Former NFL defensive end for Tampa Bay Buccaneers between 1996 and 2002. Occasional guest on the popular American radio show Bubba the Love Sponge. Trained in MMA for just over two years.

MATT MITRIONE: Another ex-NFL player, debuted as a rookie in 2002 for Minnesota Vikings. Very little MMA experience but trains with highly-regarded UFC heavyweight Jake O’Brien.

WES SHIVERS: NFL veteran and a late call-up to replace fellow pro-footballer Rex Richards. Very confident of winning the whole thing. Speaking last year, he bragged: “The only reason I have six fights now is because we have trouble finding opponents. One fight in particular, I had four opponents back out on me in a two-week period of time.”

JIM YORK: Nicknamed “Big”, York shares one thing in common with Kimbo – he too has beaten Britain’s James Thompson. The 33-year-old New Zealander emerged victorious from their Sengoku 7 clash after KO’ing the Englishman in the opening round of their bout in March.

JUSTIN WREN: At 22 years old, The Viking is the youngest contestant in the new series. He has a 6-1 MMA record and trains with UFC star Travis Lutter’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team.

MIKE WESSEL: The Ohio native has already fought in the UFC, losing to Antoni Hardonk via TKO at UFC 92 in the second round. However, it should be noted that Wessel only took that fight on a week’s notice, and UFC president Dana White was impressed enough to offer him a four-fight deal and place on season ten of TUF for his efforts.

SCOTT JUNK: Another fighter with previous UFC experience. The 30-year-old lost via heel hook in the opening round of his UFC 72 bout against Hungarian Christian Wellisch in September 2007.

ZAK JENSEN: Boasts a 7-3 MMA record and is noted for his strong wrestling ability. Has suffered defeats to fellow TUF alumni Brad Imes and Mike Whitehead.

DARRILL SCHOONOVER: An impressive 10-0 MMA record sets the big Texan apart from the rest of the cast. The 23-year-old is an early favourite to win the series and UFC contract.

BRENDAN SCHAUB: Has fought in MMA for over two years but little is known about his ability. A 4-0 record suggests he has raw skills but his lack of experience could count against him.

JON MADSEN: Part of legendary UFC welterweight Matt Hughes’ stable but only has one MMA fight to his name – a KO win over Cody Griffen earlier this month.

TOM BLACKLEDGE: British MMA enthusiasts may already be familiar with Blackledge – he fights out of the Wolfslair in Widnes. He will be hoping to repeat the success of teammate Michael Bisping by winning TUF, but his 8-6 record suggests the odds may be against him.

ABE WAGNER: Big Nebraskan holds a 6-2 professional MMA record and could be the surprise package of this season.

ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson says his network’s remake of the 1980s miniseries “V” could consist of four seasons, planned in advance, each with 13-22 episodes each (more on this, and ABC’s fall schedule, here). The show is planned for midseason.

Below are two first-look previews and based on these, my hopes for the show are up. We’ve seen alien invasion stories so many times before, the challenge is to bring something new.

The second video in particular is a nicely done, tense scene, with Scott Wolf (and hey, he still looks like him) playing a journalist landing an interview with the alien leader (played by Brazilian actress Morena Baccarin). Every reporter’s dream/nightmare.
