Prepare to frolic among Austria's flower dappled hills in so much excitement, cause NBC's LIVE television production of Sound of Music starring the lovely Carrie Underwood has secured a date!

We found out at the end of last year that the country crooner would play the show's leading lady AKA Maria, but now we can breathe easy knowing that this epic sounding 3 hour live spectacle will beam into our homes Thursday, Dec 5.

Just what we need to get us into the holiday spirit!

Hmm, we wonder who will play the dashing Mr. Von Trapp…

Oh man, we would LOVE it if Hugh Jackman got in on the action!

Hey, if he can do the character of Jean Valjean justice, he'd be an X-ellent choice for Sound of Music's leading man!

The countdown began ages ago upon news of Joss Whedon’s small screen, high-action, Avenger’s TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

But as the wait till September still seems like ages away, ABC is keeping the fervor alive with the show’s first and highly-anticipated promo!

Ch-ch-check out the action-packed sneak peek (above)!!

What’s more, the show’s interactive website, including a blog and viral videos, makes the wait so much sweeter. You can even help unlock special features and the FULL trailer by tweeting the hashtag #coulsonlives!

Get to it, folks, for some more Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. action!

Terrorists, be warned! Jack Bauer is back on the beat!

And Kiefer Sutherland is preparing to be uber-stealth once more!

The actor has officially signed on to star again as Jack Bauer, resuming his character in Fox’s former hit show, 24!

This comes as a relief given the reported drama surrounding Kiefer’s casting negotiations. We’re definitely resting easy knowing that his lawyers and the network finally came to an agreement!

The show will return to Fox as a limited series, though we have yet to receive more information on other returning cast members. Mary Lynn Rajskub, you free? Can't have Jack without a Chloe!

And maybe now that Happy Endings is seeing a not-so-pleasant one, Elisha Cuthbert could come back as Kim!

Either way, this is AH-MAZING for fans of the CTU!

You're hired!

Seth Meyers is following in another former Saturday Night Live cast member's footsteps…and they're good footsteps to follow in!

SNL is going to have to look high and low for another head writer and Weekend Update anchor because Seth is moving onto Late Night!

While Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Jay Leno next year, Seth will leave Saturday nights for 12:35am Monday-Friday.

NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt confirmed the hiring as he said:

She came baaaack!

We've missed Kristen Wiig oh-so much every Saturday night since she left us, but finally…FINALLY, we've gotten her back!

And she killed it!!

Kristen did her fans right by bringing back some of her most AH-Mazing characters from when she was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live.

Seriously, we got the Target lady!! Ridic!

Oooh, we can't express how happy we were to get a total overload of the funny lady on SNL again.

Our sides still hurt from last night!

Ch-ch-check out her return (above)!

Let’s hope this works in NBC’s favor!

Seeing as how the network has been having some ratings issues of late, it needs all the help it can get. But we think its decision to pick up Rand Ravich’s conspiracy drama might be a good one!

Marking the return of X-Files’ Gillian Anderson alongside Dermot Mulroney, One Tree Hill alum James Lafferty, and Rachael Taylor, the show is described as the following:

ZOMG!!! Buffy is back on the small screen!

Not to sass demons and slay vampires, sadly, but we'll take whatever Sarah Michelle Gellar we can get!!

Even Ringer… sigh.

Freddie Prinze Jr.'s prize blonde is actaully teaming up with funny-man Robin Williams for a new CBS sitcom!!

The network just picked up Crazy Ones, where SMG and the voice of the genie in Aladdin are a daughter/father duo that works at an advertising firm!!

We aren't sure whether this is the most HIGHlarious concept we've ever heard, but any chance to see Buffy back on TV is fine with us!

Something tell us BtVS co-star Alyson Hannigan — who recently ran over SMG with a three-ton bus — might not be invited over for a cameo!!
