Welcome to my weekly TV Wrap Up.
This week we’re chatting about the NCIS cast, Chuck season 3 insights, a bit of Fringe cast news and I ask a question about a character from Lost. I’m also going to touch on yet another alien invasion show from TNT. Also have some details on the DVD / Blu-ray release of season one of Lie To Me.
I wrap it up with my usual look at how shows did in the ratings from last week.
Let’s get on with it.

NCIS Spin-off Adds Cast
Linda Hunt will be joining the cast of the NCIS spin-off as a hard-nosed former film industry technician who oversees the “backroom” support staff.
Of note, Louise Lombard was let go from the staff, as the cast seems to be constantly evolving.
Is it me, or will we have a hard time getting past the ‘ghosts’ from Linda Hunt’s past?

Today’s Weekly TV Wrap Up will have a little One Tree Hill (Something a bit new, but a reader asked about the show.), some more on Dollhouse after the finale and Lie To Me news. We also touch on David E. Kelley’s disappointment, the dumping of a few shows by NBC and how Fox seems to be treating Ronald D. Moore’s Virtuality just like Dollhouse, but worse - If you can imagine that. I also have some David Tennant news for you.
Despite the season finales, it’s a bit of a quiet week for me. Of course, I have the TV ratings from last week and a bit of a surprise at the end of the post, if you make it that far.
Shall we get on with it?

A 21-year-old student has become the second winner of £250,000 on Deal Or No Deal. Alice Mundy struck a deal with the banker for £17,500 halfway through the quiz show, but was offered the chance to gamble it all for the top prize at the show's finale. Mundy was left with the £250,000 and 1p on the board and was offered the chance to reverse her earlier deal and take on "the ultimate Banker's Gamble".

Fox's American Idol on Wednesday night may have captured 3 million fewer viewers than it did a year earlier -- but no other regular show on TV can draw 24.90 million viewers as Idol did. Even better news for Fox was a big win in the 8:00 p.m. hour for its recently relocated drama Lie to Me, which drew 11.12 million viewers, up from 10.20 million a week earlier. CBS took the lead at 10:00 p.m. with CSI: New York which counted 13.52 million viewers. Meanwhile, struggling NBC debuted the new reality game show The Chopping Block at 8:00 p.m. -- and got chopped. The show attracted only 3.98 million viewers in the 8:00 p.m. hour versus 10.19 million for Deal or No Deal, which occupied that spot last year.

Are you stuck at home in the snow? Have you been blagging time off work with the February flu? Or maybe you're a student, who believes TV is as valuable a research tool as a day in the library? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then Digital Spy wants to fill the 4pm void in your day by creating the Deal Or No Deal drinking game. We're sure the banker would approve! Rule One - Drink a beer when there is any mention of a contestant "having a system", which is going to see them triumph in the box-opening game of luck. Rule Two - Drink a second beer when it turns out that a person's "system" appears to revolve around blind faith and keeping their fingers crossed very, very tight. Rule Three - Help yourself to the vodka whenever a contestant starts running around the studio

U.S. TV presenter/comedian Howie Mandel's recent heart scare left him "terrified" for his life.
The 52-year-old Deal Or No Deal host was treated for an irregular heartbeat after collapsing on Monday in a Toronto, Canada, hotel lobby. He is now back at home and reflecting on the experience.
Mandel tells U.S. TV news show Access Hollywood, "They put you totally out, and they take those defibrillators, and they yell 'Clear!'"
But he has learned he didn't suffer a heart attack: "The doctors said my heart is strong, and I did not have an attack.
"I was terrified because I try to stay healthy, I work out, I eat well. To be in a public lobby of a hotel and start to feel dizzy and then have no memory after that - and to wake up in an ambulance - is terrifying."

I remained clothed and in my boots on the gurney and in the hospital!" Mandel, 53, discovered he had an irregular heartbeat after an insurance-mandated checkup while he
