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!

• The Fantastic Four reboot is still happening, and now with a completely CG Thing.

• We can’t wait for Stone’s Social Network, but these parody posters are pretty damned entertaining as well.

• Because we love lists, Adult Swim brings us a list of the Most Invasive Surgeries on the network. Mind you, this is before Children’s Hospital aired.

• Leonardo DiCaprio has passed on Mel Gibson’s viking picture. We can only imagine what that phone call sounded like.

• Want do get women like Don Draper? The Mad Men School of Seduction can help.

Fans across the country are gearing up for the next chunk of Glee episodes to air on Fox. The show took a hiatus after it’s “Sectionals” episode back in December, so that the cast and crew could catch up, while also giving American Idol complete run of the network. Now that Idol is coming to a close soon enough, it’s time for the world of scripted musicals to shine again.

Last season brought in some great cameos such as Kristen Chenoweth and Josh Groban, but this second half is said to have names like Neil Patrick Harris, Adam Lambert, and many more to grace the screen. Not only is the second half of season one already packed with celebs, but there’s even going to be an entire episode dedicated to the song stylings of Madonna.

Even Jane Lynch’s “Sue Sylvester” is getting in the spirit with a new viral promo. Take a look at the newest TV spot, and what Sue has to say about “sneaky gays” after the jump. Be sure to catch all new episodes of Glee starting April 13th.

The year 2010 is here! With a new year comes resolutions to make, new goals in mind, and new schedules to follow. But it also means some brand new TV for us all to enjoy.

January 14th

This night brings the return of some of our favorite shows here at The Flickcast including 30 Rock, Bones, Fringe, Supernatural, Grey’s Anatomy, CSI, Private Practice and The Mentalist.

All these shows have been on hiatus, some for almost a month, so with these ratings giants this is sure to be the biggest night on TV all month, no matter what channel you’re watching.

Chuck

Everyone’s favorite geek-turned-spy is back, and Chuck is better than ever. After downloading the Intersect 2.0, we’ll see Chuck perform karate chops AND Spanish Guitar in his quest to keep his family safe and lead a normal life.

Chuck returns for its third season on January 10th with a two hour premiere, and a brand new episode the day after!

American Idol

Regardless of how you feel about this show, you can’t deny its cultural impact and the success it has produced. However, the fun in watching the first few weeks of American Idol is not the talented singers or the tense eliminations.

It’s watching all the people who really can’t sing try their hand at making it big and failing miserably. Let’s face it, with the economy in the can and the current political climate, we all need a little schadenfreude. Idol returns on January 12th on Fox.
