It’s Thursday again so that means more new episodes of some of our favorite shows on NBC tonight. Sure, we still miss Community and hope it’s really coming back.

Until then, at least we’ve still got brand new episodes of 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and more to help us pass the time. Not only that, we’ve got previews for all the new episodes for you right here too.

First up on 30 Rock, Liz invokes a pact she and Jenna made to each other years before. Then on Parks and Recreation, Knope 2012 goes on a bowling adventure.

Next up, it’s a second episode of 30 Rock called “The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell.” Finally, The Firm is back with a new episode. Havent had a chance to watch that one yet but I would bet the budget for a one hour drama show would have been more than enough to cover the cost of new episodes of Community.

Come on NBC, get with the program and give the viewers what they really want. We don’t mind that you made a mistake, we all do. Just correct it. . . soon.

Check out all the previews after the break.

NBC’s Community is one of those show that just keeps getting better and more interesting with each new episode. Fortunately, its coming back next season for more fun with the gang at Greendale and we’ll get to experience more of the hijinks of Jeff, Britta, Troy, Abed, Shirley, Chang, Pierce and Annie.

But tonight, things are getting intense with the second part of the “paintball” season finale that’s sure to bring the awesome. Of course, we’ve got previews for tonight’s episode to share with you right here.

I case you’ve forgotten, here’s the scoop so far: The Greendale gang is in the midst of an intense paintball war and things are just getting exciting after the elimination of Josh Holloway’s gunslinger last week. This week, get an early taste of “Operation: Troy’s Awesome Plan”, see Alison Brie freestylin’ it and much more.

Also, tonight there’s a brand new Office and double the Parks and Rec fun with two episodes. All this, and more, starts with Community at 8/7C on NBC.

Check out all the Community goodness after the jump.

You may know her best as Trudy Campbell on Mad Men, or recently as the neurotic publicist in Scream 4, but for fans of NBC’s Community she will always been Annie Edison. Taking time out of her busy schedule shooting a movie, Alison was kind enough to sit down for a press interview to give us the scoop on what we can expect from the upcoming two-part Community season finale.

The episode centers around an end-of-the-year picnic where the dean announces plans for a “small, quick, safe, game of paintball.”  What follows is an epic battle in which alliances are formed and broken, and friendships are put to the test.

The finale will include a very special cameo from Josh Holloway, most famous for his role as Sawyer on Lost, who arrives as a mysterious character in the game.  TV spots and online clips have already begun to hint at a certain chemistry that will form between Holloway’s character and Annie.

Alison herself confirmed that there were sparks on set that the writers wanted to play up in the final episode.  And yes, she also hinted that there were to be a few Sawyer-esq lines for the Lost fans.

Good lord, has it already been over 10 years since the last Scream movie?  It’s hard to believe that Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven first turned the horror genre on its head way back in 1996 (Scream 3 came out in 2000).

That first Scream film felt fresh in the stale horror market, offering up a tale of teenagers being stalked and killed by the “Ghostface” killer. What was so fun about the series was that the kids being stalked were horror movie fanatics, thus they new the “rules” of the genre. The movie playfully skewered the very genre it was depicting. The film spawned two sequels featuring original heroine Sidney (Neve Campbell) reporter Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) and Deputy Dewey (David Arquette).

All three characters return in Scream 4, which takes place in Sidney’s hometown of Woodsboro. Sidney has authored a successful book about her ordeal, and has come home for a booksigning. No sooner does she arrive than the bodies starting stacking up. Like all the Scream movies, the film is essentially a whodunit.  This time Sidney’s Aunt (Mary McDonnell) and cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) get pulled into the fray, since Sidney is staying with them.

The film opens with a bunch of teenagers watching Stab 6 and 7 (based on the Woodsboro killings) and lamenting the state of Asian cinema and torture porn.

Just when you thought it was safe to answer the phone again, Wes Craven and Kevin Williams (sort of) reunite to bring a whole new generation of teen victims some classic murders and rules to live by with Scream 4.

Just about everyone is back for this final scare, including Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette. Along with the legacy survivors, there are some great new additions this time, including Kristen Bell, Hayden Panettiere, Alison Brie, and Anna Paquin.

This time around you can expect more gore, more deaths, and more “teenage” girls running for their lives. We’ve got a taste of what you can expect in the film this weekend with four brand new clips.

Check out those clips after the jump, and be sure to race to theaters and support horror with Scream 4 in theaters this Friday.

You may find this hard to believe but I’m actually looking forward to Scream 4. Sure, you could make the case that the franchise has seen better days or that the actors are not all that appealing anymore, but that doesn’t dampen my enthusiasm for the franchise.

To help you find the magic again we’ve got three new clips from the film to share with you today. In them we get a further look at the old gang from Westboro as well as at a few of the new, fresh faces voted most likely to be targets for our favorite ghost-faced killer.

If you’re not familiar with the Scream 4 story, here’s the scoop:

Sidney Prescott has been living the last few years of her life in relative silence. Now a guidance counselor for Woodsboro High School, her alma mater, she finally lives her life out of the media spotlight.

But with the discovery of a murdered student, Sidney Prescott’s world will once again be ripped apart by the reemergence of Ghost Face.

Check out the clips after the break. Scream 4 slashes its way into theaters on April 15th.

Welcome to another edition of  On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage during the week. Let is know if we missed something interesting.

Let’s get started!

• Fans of the BBC series (not the ABC remake) Life On Mars will appreciate this fan film about a car wreck in a time warp.

• As if you didn’t need more excused to pick up DC Universe Online next month, how about a new special mission on Gorilla Island?

• Folks in Japan can be pretty crazy, but these new modded mini and regular vans are pretty mind blowing, including a Bat Van!

• Who doesn’t love a good holiday movie mash-up? Here‘s one with Home Alone and I Am Legend. Sadly, no footage was to be found of Will Smith putting on aftershave for the first time.

• Community‘s Alison Brie does a sexy(er) rendition of Santa Baby. ‘Nuff said.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• Joel McHale, proving to us once again that he’s the man, stopped by The Today Show to pimp Community and mock Kathy Lee and Hoda.

• Halloween may be over, but here are some awesome costumes you may have missed.

• People and their damned streaming. Internets everywhere have been clogged up by the massive use of Netflix over the past week.

• A laptop desk that you can attach to your steering wheel? Not since the first porn film played on a portable in-car DVD player has another device potentially caused so many accidents.

• Miss last Sunday’s pilot of AMC’s The Walking Dead? Well lucky for you, the episode is currently online in its entirety.

• Getting your list on, as usual, here are 10 of the best lessons taught to us by comics.

• A group of die hard Harry Potter fans gathered in the center of Grand Central to reenact one of their favorite scenes. New Yorkers were not phased.

• It looks like he may not have found another Alias after all, as J.J. Abrams’ Undercovers has officially gotten the boot from NBC.

If you’ve been coming to The Flickcast for pretty much any time at all you undoubtedly know we love good TV shows. That’s why we’re excited for the return of two of our favorites next week: Chuck and Community.

Both of these shows represent what’s best about TV and excel in their given genre. From action to humor to drama to romance both of these shows deliver. So, to commemorate them returning to the air next week, we’ve got previews from both shows to share with you today.

First up is Chuck and in this video you get some details about the fourth season of the show from series stars Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski. But wait, you also get a surprise appearance by Dolph Lundgren as well so what could be better than that? Finally, Casey gets a real nemesis. Or does he?

Next up is Community which, if you’re not aware, is one of the funniest shows on TV. Go watch the episode entitled “Modern Warfare” if you don’t believe me. In the videos today we’ve got all sorts of great stuff including a Season 1 remix clip and cast outtakes. Great stuff indeed and more than enough to get you ready for next week’s premiere.

Check out all the videos after, as always, the jump. Chuck returns next Monday at 8/7C and Community on Thursday at 8/7C only on NBC.

For those of you who watched last night’s Emmy Awards…we’re sorry. There weren’t very many upsets and let’s face it, Fallon’s hosting skills left a bit to be desired. The silver lining of last night’s show? Three brand new scenes with the gang from our favorite NBC shows: Community.

The whole gang was together to help pimp the Infinity QX 56 for NBC, but we’re OK with it because it gave the fans a chance to see our favorite Greendale College students a little early before they return for a new season in September. Even Ken Jeong is back for these clips, which makes the whole series that much better.

And for those die-hards out there: yes, there’s even a Glee sucker punch in there as well. Check out the clip after the jump, in which we get some awesome food-TV gags such as How I Met Your Muffins, The New Adventures of Old Crispies, and even LOST carrots.

Catch all-new episodes of Community on Thursday, September 23rd, on NBC.

Even though Comic-Con was over a week ago that doesn’t stop us from having a bunch of content we just couldn’t fit in during our normal coverage of the event. So, expect to see Comic-Con related videos, photos, interviews, etc for quite some time still.

Continuing that trend, we’ve got some cool video for you from the Con right here. One is from Community, a show we really love and the other is from The Cape, a show that looks like something we will most likely love — at least from what we’ve seen of the show so far.

In these videos you can see the Community cast, including Joel McHale, Chevy Chase and Alison Brie, share their glowing impressions of the passionate and devoted fans they met at Comic-Con. Plus, listen close for a few hints on what’s coming next season. Plus, the cast of The Cape, including Vinnie Jones, Martin Klebba and Summer Glau,  gives a great preview of the series.

Check out all the videos after the jump. Look for both Community and The Cape this Fall on NBC.

It’s no secret we love NBC’s freshman comedy Community around here. Since the day it premiered (and really, before) we’ve been entertained by the comedic adventures of Greendale Community College’s Spanish study group led by the always awesome Joel McHale.

With the show about to air its season finale tonight, we’re going to be sad to see it go. Fortunately, the show was so successful it will be back next year in the same time slot and will no doubt feature even more great episodes next season.

Before that, and to commemorate tonight’s season finale, we’ve got a whole bunch of clips to share with you today. These four clips are taken directly from the episode and show exactly what makes this show so great.

Check out all the clips after the jump and be sure to catch the season finale of Comunity tonight at 8/7C on NBC.
