Beauty aside, Thirteen isn't the most popular character on House.

But Olivia Wilde brings this doctor back to the Fox hit tonight, as the actress spoke to TV Guide about the circumstances surrounding her return, as well as her future with Foreman...

On the return of Taub and Thirteen: What you have to remember is House wasn't the one who fired Taub and Thirteen. Taub quit and Thirteen was fired by her own boyfriend. So, it's up to him to find a way to bring them back, but it's not going to be as easy as he thought. This next episode reveals just what it is for the doctors that is so addictive to being on the team.

On the future of Foreteen: I think it's going to be bumpy for a little while. It would be dishonest for us to come back from breaking up with each other and having a smooth ride. They're both very good at bottling things up, so it's not the most communicative relationship. Things often come out in bursts, and I think we see that because they work in a high stress environment. You learn more about their relationship through their diagnostic process than through their actual straight talk.

As always, we'll recap and review this episode soon after it ends, replete with House quotes and photos from the hour.

Last night on Family Guy, Quagmire discovered that all his sexual exploits finally had repercussions when he learns he has a baby girl that gets dropped off on his doorstep during "Quagmire's Baby."  We're actually quite shocked Family Guy never went with this plotline before.

Quagmire actually steps it up and names the girl Ana Lee and attempts to raise her on his own, until she gets in the way of him getting laid.  That's when he puts the girl up for adoption.

Meanwhile Stewie created clones for Brian and himself.  All in all it was a mediocre episode that had some decent Family Guy quotes.  Here's some of our favorites:

Stewie: Hey will you take me down to Baby Gap? I want to dress like a small douche. | permalink

Stewie: It's healthier than what they ate in the fifties...
Customer: Steak and donut sandwich please.
Waiter: You want cigarettes on that sandwich.
Customer: What do I look like a Mary? Of course I want cigarattes. | permalink

Quagmire [reading note]: Glen, this is your child, next time wear a condom jerk. Oh my god!
Peter: Wait, hang on, there's no guarantee it's your baby.
Baby: Gigitty.
Quagmire: Ooh, I say that. | permalink

Quagmire: How long you been in beauty school?
Candy: Two months.
Quagmire: Well tonight, we're doing facials! | permalink

Brian [about puddle of clone]: I'm not proud of this, but i'm gonna have to lick that up. | permalink

Joe: We shouldn't let this ruin our night, let's just enjoy the strippers.
Peter: I guess, I just hate how much that one gets into her work.
Stripper: You boys have been very naughty. I'm gonna have to assign you extra homework.
Peter: Fractions are so hard, what'd you get for number four?
Joe: She says don't share answers! | permalink

After taking off the last month for the World Series and the Family Guy live-action special, The Simpsons returned last night with its episode, "The Devil Wears Nada," which was meant to coincide with Marge Simpson's Playboy spread.

During the episode, Marge posed for a calendar and ended up in much more provactive pictures than she thought.  However, the photos got her all the attention from the town, but none from Homer.

That's because Homer was busy following Carl around as his new assistant.  All in all it made for some great Simpsons quotes.  Here are some of our favorites from the episode:

Lenny: I'm gonna miss Ted, he was a good supervisor
Carl: Definitely hands off. He didn't mind if we punched out late
Homer: And he didn't mind that we made a few changes to the soda machine...mmm... beer | permalink

Bart: Stop dragging me! When I get older I'm gonna drag you around and buy you clothes.
Marge: Oh, that's wonderful! | permalink

Marge: You two are going out? I thought I told you the Flanderers were coming over for dinner.
Lisa: I'm having a tea party at Jamie's.
Bart: And I'm having a stink bomb party at the house next to Jamie's... no connection. | permalink

Rod: We thought you were gonna die.
Tod: And then Uncle Kevin would have to raise us.
Rod: And his funny friend, David.
Ned Flanders: Oh I'd put rocks in your pocket and walk you out to sea for before I'd let that happen. | permalink

Ned: I'm not thinking straight, why did I have that wine cooler last month? | permalink

Homer [about Marge and Ned having an affair]: My wife and my worst friend. Could it be? | permalink

We have good news and bad news for Supernatural fans:

This Thursday's episode is a doozy, not to be missed. But it's also the final new installment until January 14, 2010. Ouch!

The hour features Sam, Dean and Castiel tracking down the Colt and confronting Lucifer. The trip also reunites with Bobby, Ellen and Jo, as seen in a photo below.

Mark Sheppard guest stars on "Abandon All Hope" as the character of Crowley. He's featured in the clip below:

As usual, we'll post the latest Supernatural quotes and spoilers soon after this episode ends. In the meantime, check out a few photos from it now:

This Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Holidaze," combines Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's - and notably features the arrival of Mark Sloan's long-lost ... daughter.

Yes, a hot, blonde, McSteamy spawn. We'll pause for a moment to let that sink in.

Aside from guest star Leven Rambin (who plays the character from Mark's past, whomever she is), Thatcher Grey and Miranda's as-yet-unseen father also appear in the episode.

Click to enlarge some photos from "Holidaze" below and see what you think ...

As John Noble told us earlier this month, the role of The Observers will be featured more prominent as season two of Fringe rolls along.

The actor that plays Walter Bishop wasn't lying.

On Thursday's episode, "August," we'll meet an Observer. As shown in the clip below, so will a woman in Boston...

Remember to return to TV Fanatic soon after each episode ends. We'll recap and review it in detail.

This Thursday's episode of Private Practice might not place Addison in a life-threatening situation or have her awkwardly make out with Sam, but that doesn't mean it isn't loaded with interesting storylines.

Addison's father, played by Stephen Collins, pays his daughter a surprise visit. There's also a marriage intervention and - as the clip below depicts - an arrest...

As always, TV Fanatic will recap and review the episode in depth.

For now, click on the photos below for an early look at scenes from "Sins of the Father."

This week's episode of Californication, called "The Apartment," really made a huge comeback after last week's slump!

In the newest episode, Hank has a string of unsolicited visitors to his apartment, which results in games of hide and seek that are reminiscent of something out of Three's Company - we totally loved this week's episode! Did you? Let us know what you thought after reading our full recap of the episode!

For now, some musings on Hank and his female predicament:

Stacy Koons calls Hank the "girl whisperer," since women fall all over him even when he's such a jackass most of the time. There really is something special about Hank and Hank really nails it on the head when trying to explain to Becca why he behaves the way he does.

He did have good intentions with each of these women - with Jackie, he wanted to show her she had potential and could be more than just a stripper, with Jill he wanted her to have self-confidence again, and with Felicia, he wanted her to know that she deserved to be happy. But of course by being with these women and showing them how each of them is special, he's going to have them fall in love with him! Isn't that exactly what every woman is looking for?

But now that he's built up all these women, he's afraid to let them down, it seems. Is that why he's having so much trouble breaking it off with them? He has so many great opportunities to just end things, especially in this episode, yet he doesn't do ANYTHING!

Stacey asks Hank point blank if he loves Felicia - obviously he doesn't love Felicia, and things are falling apart left and right at the apartment, but he just doesn't say anything and waits to be saved by the arrival of Becca and Chelsea. Why doesn't he say anything??? It just doesn't seem realistic or true to Hank's character... it does make sense if the writers are just trying to drag out this storyline a bit further.. but come on!

I can't wait for this story line to come to an arc - let's get Karen back in there because you know she'll be kicking ass and taking names!

Here's a look at a few of our favorite Californication quotes from the hour:

Jackie: No more grinding up on middle-aged hard-ons for me, except for yours of course. | permalink

Rick Springfield: Nothing like the sound of a stripper's head on a hard-wood floor.
Hank: What the f**k is wrong with you?
Rick: What, oh you don't rough 'em up? Well excuse me George Bailey... | permalink

Stacey: You obviously have this thing with women, some very strong connection, that no matter what you do, no matter how big of an ass you are, they seem to respond - you're a goddamn girl whisperer! | permalink

Last week on The Vampire Diaries, Damon tried and failed to resurrect Katherine.

But you didn't think the heartbroken vampire would just give up, did you?

In casting news that also acts as a spoiler, Gina Torres has landed a role on The CW hit. She'll appear on the show's 10th episode as Bree, a witch with a connection to Damon. Look for him to try and get her to pick up where Emily/Bonnie failed last week: accessing Katherine's tomb.

Torres is a busy actress these days.

She recurs on a pair of other shows: as Stan's wife on FlashForward; and as Vanessa's mother on Gossip Girl. Neither of those roles require witchcraft, however.

There were six separate story lines intertwining on Brothers & Sisters last night, which always seems appropriate for such a huge family. Also appropriately, some ended well, some did not, while some featured plenty of drama and some none at all.

A lot like real life. Click here for a full recap of "The Wine Festival." Below, we've written a brief review of each of the characters' story lines and why they worked or didn't ..

Kitty & Robert: Kitty's rocking a shaggy, blonde wig these days and Robert is all over that. She worries it's all about the wig, and that he's pretending she is someone else.

But he's not. When she shows him her bald head as a test, he doesn't bat an eye. He loves her for so many reasons that have nothing to do with her hair, he says. Swoon.

Sarah & Luc: Sarah wants Luc to design the label for the Walkers' new wine. Because he is so laid back, he can't fathom why she wants him to commercialize his talent.

Sarah being Sarah, she asks where this is going, how he will get a visa to stay in the U.S., etc. Luc being Luc, he paints ... to paint. He doesn't want her to be his agent.

In the end, she tells him she loves him and will support him no matter what. But he goes back to France anyway. Bad move, Luc. You don't know what you're missing.

Gilles Marini's run came to an end last night as Luc returned to France.

Kevin & Scotty: They're researching the perfect egg donor. Predictably, Scotty wants a healthy kid and that's it, while Kevin goes OCD trying to craft the perfect child.

Saul puts it in perspective with a great metaphor: Like wines, all children are unique, unpredictable and shaped by their caretakers. Kevin lets Scotty pick at random.

Nora & Simon: Our favorite story line of the night, and one you don't see addressed on other shows: Widowed mother of five Nora struggling on the dating scene.

She and Simon are going well, but the age difference clearly bothers her. He tells her it's not going to work as long as she lives in a safe little box. That one hurt.

In one of our favorite Brothers & Sisters quotes, Nora insists to Simon that she doesn't live in a safe little box, but she could embrace more of his attitude as well.

Justin & Rebecca: Justin is stressed over a med school test and can't make time for Rebecca. She can't find the time to tell him she's pregnant. He's, like, so busy.

Please. You're marrying the guy. He has a right to know. Okay, so he said he doesn't want kids three weeks ago. That'll change in two seconds. Man up, Rebecca!

The Walkers' wine won big ... until shady Ryan ruined everything.

Saul, Holly & Ryan: After Saul actually loves the new, inexpensive wine and wants to enter it in the local wine festival, Holly is thrilled. This is her last chance to succeed.

She's even more excited when it does really well, and it's looking like her business and personal financial prospects are finally turning around. But Ryan is not as thrilled.

He wants the company to fail, after all. The annoying little sleaze.

After the success of the festival, Ojai is planning to roll out the wine ASAP. But Dennis York tells Ryan if they do, he'll never gain control of Ojai. Ryan needs to fix this, now.

Oh, and fix it he did. Holly and Saul find all the wine drained out of its tanks. Holy crap. Kid better skip town and change his name. It's gotta be obvious who did it, right?

Seriously, that's got to be at least somewhat difficult to pull off, right? This isn't just a box of Franzia where you leave the tap open. Oh, and are there no cameras in there?

Logistical plot holes aside, it was a solid story and episode.
