Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for Dec. 5-7

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation.

This week, I took a look back at those five suggestions to improve Fringe that I made in October to see if the writers had addressed any of them since then.

I also posted advance reviews up of TNT's Leverage and BBC America's bittersweet Gavin & Stacey season finale, as well as my thoughts on this week's installments of Chuck, Pushing Daisies, 30 Rock,and Top Chef: New York.

All this plus news about the first footage from Season Five of ABC's Lost, CW developing a spin-off of Gossip Girl, Bryan Fuller heading back to Heroes and Mad Men's John Hamm heading to 30 Rock, NBC's midseason lineup (including less Knight Rider!), delays with that planned Veronica Mars feature film, and Sci Fi ordering BSG spin-off Caprica to series.
