Thankfully, a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles cast member was around to help out.

I'm usually a huge fan of the digital shorts, and sass others who say they're lame or simply not funny, but I was one of the others last night, and it stung. That is, until Brian Austin Green showed up.

<![CDATA[It's Not Too Late To Save Sarah Connor!]]> If you're desperate for more Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles next fall, you're not alone. E! Online's readers voted it the show they most wanted to save. And we've thought up a way to help.

We've started a Flickr group called "Sarah Connor Made Me Do It." Post pictures of yourself with products that sponsored Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles there, and we'll make sure the folks at Fox and Warner Bros. see it. (A semi-complete list of products that sponsored the show is here.) Update: Sources tell io9 the show's biggest sponsors were Chrysler Dodge Ram and Verizon Wireless.

Bonus points if you manage to look like a Terminator or a future Resistance fighter holding a Mountain Dew bottle or Dove Bar.

You can also buy some of these products and send them to Fox or Warners at the addresses here, with a note saying "Sarah Connor made me do it." And as always, if you do write to either studio, please make sure your post is respectful and non-psychotic. Do it for Sarah Connor!

Smallville -
The ridiculously attractive Zatanna makes her curvy cameo on this week's episode of the proto-Superman series. I'm going to have to give the a tip of the top hat to CW, the top heavy character looks like she was ripped out of the comic. Z shows up and grants Chloe's birthday wish (to be more like Lois), so they switch bodies - because there is some unwritten rule in TV series that the characters have to go all Freaky Friday at least once. Smallville is on the CW at 8 PM.

Supernatural -
Dean and Sam switch roles with the cast of The Office, but here's the kicker...they have no memory of each other.

General Grievous Jam:

Stargate Atlantis -
Off with her head, or something close like it. This week Jewel Staite gets involved in a case of mistaken identity. So if Dr. Keller dies, does this mean I can have McKay? Because I'd be okay with that. Stargate Atlantis which has only THREE episodes left, will be on the Sci Fi Channel at 9 PM.

(editor's note: sorry I confused this weeks with last weeks, when clearly this last Friday's was "Infection" and this is "Identity.")

Stargate Promo:

Sanctuary -
This week the monster kids are tracking down a secret fight club where the people battle to the death. You know like Fight Club, only not cool in the slightest. The new Sanctuary is on 10 PM on the Sci Fi Channel.

Movies:

ABC family is premiering The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. Check out James McAvoy as the little fawn, Mr. Tumnus, before he got all Wanted hot (I preferred the shirtless goat-scarf look, to be honest). The movie will air at 6 PM and 9:30 PM.

Tumnus!

Saturday:

Movies:
Get bouncy with Flubber at 9:40 AM on TBS.

Sunday:

One of the best Disney scifi movies ever is The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, staring Kurt Russell. Please do enjoy this clip — it's on 12 PM on TCM.

<![CDATA[This Week On Heroes, Everybody Dies But Seth Green]]> If they killed off all the characters on Heroes, would that save this season? The ridiculous cliffhanger and promos make it seem like almost every character is dying, or in imminent danger of death. But will there be any real deaths? Watch a clip from tonight's episode and judge for yourself. Also, there are preview clips from Chuck, and tons of trailers for Fringe, Pushing Daisies, Eleventh Hour and more.

Monday:

Heroes -
The eclipse is still going and all 1,000 cast members are rallying for the big moment where they find out if they'll lose their powers forever and ever. I'm on the side of no. The second half of "The Eclipse" two-parter is at 9 PM on NBC.

Heroes Clip:

Heroes Promo:

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles -
What's the sexy glazed-eyed Summer Glau bot do all night whilst the Connor family is asleep? My guess is, robot clubbing. The new TSCC is on 8 PM at Fox.

TSCC Promo:

Chuck -
The best part of Chuck is being revisited this week: Captain Awesome's parents come to town. Let the high-fiving flow like the river Jordan. Plus we get to meet Casey's mentor. Chuck is on NBC at 8 PM.

Tuesday:

Fringe -

Wednesday:

There's an early morning Twilight Zone marathon starting at 8 AM with "He's Alive" on the Sci Fi Channel.

Thursday:

No new Smallville this week.

No new Supernatural this week.

No new Life On Mars this week.

Eleventh Hour -
Hood uses his smarts in Oklahoma to uncover why all of the students are dying of the bends (the scuba related condition, not the Radiohead album which is equally as relevant, since they're at a college). Eleventh Hour is on CBS at 10 PM.

Testees -
This week on Testees the human lab rats test out chastity belts which mean they can't have sex for a week. Which if you've seen the show, probably shouldn't be that big of a problem. "Abstinence Underwear" is on FX at 11 PM.
