-- In regards to the yet untitled Office-spinoff, "The Office" fans can breathe a sigh of relief according to Watch with Kristin at E!Online who reports that Steve Carell stated "As far as I know, nobody is leaving ship. At least at this point, from what I’ve heard, I don’t think it’s based on any of the characters from the existing show. It’s an entirely new setup with new characters."
-- Fans of TV's cutest nerd "Chuck" can look forward to a great Season 2 according to its star, Zachary Levi, who informed TV Guide that "It's twice the action, twice the drama and twice the romance," Levi teases. "It's Chuck squared." Look for the "Chuck" Season 2 premiere on Monday, September 29th.
