If you’ve been paying attention, you probably know today is Friday. Among other things that means previews for some of our favorite shows are ready and we’re going to bring them to you right here.

First up is Chuck which features special guest Rebecca Romijn. Sadly, she probably won’t be naked and sporting blue body paint but heck, she’s still nice to look at. She’s the bad guy in this week’s episode and we’ve got previews to prove it.

Next up is Grimm, a show that started slow but has gotten better over the weeks. In this week’s episode, an unsolved case returns after Nick encounters a mysterious homicide. I’m guessing that can’t be a good thing.

Finally, we’ve got a preview of NBC’s TV version of John Grisham’s novel The Firm. You may remember the movie version from several years ago which starred Tom Cruise but this one is, of course, different.

It features Josh Lucas taking over the role originated by Tom Cruise in the movie as well as Juliette Lewis and, finally getting a starrting role in a series, Callum Keith Rennie of BSG and, more recently, The Killing. Good for him. He deserves it.

Check out all the previews after the break.

For the past year, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim has been branching into less of the animated comedy and more into live action spoofs. It started by bringing Rob Corddry’s Childrens Hospital from the web to the TV, and continuing with Paul Scheer’s NTSF:SD:SUV::. With Hospital into its third season, it looks like the network’s second spoof is getting some love too.

NTSF has been picked up for a second season, and will continue to rip on shows like 24 and every CSI show on the air. Here’s the official press release for more:

The ratings have consistently built throughout the first season and we love what we’re seeing from the show,” said Mike Lazzo, head of Adult Swim, “and how can you not love SUVs?”

A few days ago, we brought you the final trailer for Adult Swim’s newest show, NTSF:SD:SUV::, one that we’re pretty excited about. The premise is that this show is to CSI, NCIS, and 24 like how Childrens Hospital is to Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and House.

With a pretty amazing cast including Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager), Rebecca Romijn, Rob Riggle, and Martin Starr, the show was a pretty big success here at Comic-Con, as it debuted to a full audience on Thursday during its first panel.

We got the chance to speak with the man who came up with the idea as crazy as this: Paul Scheer. Some may know him from VH1′s I Love series, and some may know him from FX’s The League, but everyone will soon know him as the lovechild of Jack Bauer and Horatio Caine, Trent Hauser.

Paul talks about his inspiration of the show (a pretty tough question),  some of the great guest stars he’s got lined up for this season, and thoughts on a possible crossover with the sister show Childrens Hospital.

Take a look at our interview after the jump, and be sure to catch NTSF:SD:SUV:: every Thursday night on Adult Swim.

Tonight marks a big night for ABC as the pilots for three new shows are on the menu. Between Modern Family, Cougar Town, and Eastwick, we can tell you which one we here at The Flickcast are most excited about.

Eastwick is essentially a episodic reboot of the John Updike novel, but better known as the 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Cher about a coven of witches that unknowingly summon The Devil to their small town and individually become seduced by him.

Same premise here, but instead we get Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price (Lipstick Jungle), and Jamie Ray Newman (Eureka) with newcomer Paul Gross (Due South) as the three witches and The Devil, a.k.a. Darryl Van Horne. Overall, the show looks to be a fresh mix of both Desperate Housewives and Charmed.

Check out two brand new clips from tonight’s series premiere. In the first clip, Darryl tries his good looks and slick tongue on Roxie (Romijn) in order to get her into his bed. In the second, the three sisters meet Darryl together for the first time, and it proves to be interesting. Catch the premiere episode on ABC tonight at 10pm/9pm Central.
