Fans of highly entertaining CW action drama Nikita can finally get a fresh fix again tonight, April 7, at 9pm ET when the series returns for the spring with the new episode “Covenant.”

The latest installment is a big one, too. Not only does Nikita learn that Michael has discovered her big secret, but he blackmails her into doing something nearly impossible, or else he will get Alex in major trouble with nasty sociopath Percy. Uh-oh.

Preview “Covenant” in the following video and also catch up on what happened before the show’s hiatus began on February 25 in the second video. Nikita has just five episodes left in its first season after “Covenant” premieres, and if viewers are lucky, we’ll get to see them each week without further interruption.

The second-season finale of entertaining Fox drama Human Target promises to deliver a wallop.

Premiering at 9pm ET tonight, February 9, the episode is titled “Marshall Pucci,” after Ilsa’s deceased husband. Apparently, Team Chance will finally identify the mysterious woman in the photo with him, while also getting to the bottom of what was going on between the two.

Somehow I don’t think it had anything to do with an affair, as Ilsa and everyone else on the show suspects. But it was definitely dangerous, judging by that big old gun Ilsa is wielding in the episode still above. Now all we viewers can do is hope for a fitting outcome and a Season Three renewal.

Former Arrested Development cast member Tony Hale just guest starred on the “Communication Breakdown” episode of Fox drama Human Target less than a month ago, and now he’s set to reprise his hilarious role as the title character Harry during tonight’s fresh “The Trouble with Harry” installment.

Harry makes his second appearance on the show when Chance’s latest assignment involves making sure a competing “security” specialist’s girlfriend doesn’t end up dead. Viewers will also get the immense pleasure of watching Ilsa take on her first field mission, a situation that’s bound to be both funny and moving at times as her hot-cold relationship with the guys continues to deepen. And if that’s not enough, actor Michael Masse (FlashForward, Revelations, 24) drops by, as well, to play Claypool, a creepy baddie I imagine since that’s his forte.

“The Trouble with Harry” is the next-to-last episode in Human Target‘s current second season. The February 9 season finale “Marshall Pucci” is all about Ilsa’s reportedly deceased husband, and it should be chock full of surprising revelations and tension now that we know he might have been doing something questionable behind Ilsa’s back. Fingers crossed for a major cliffhanger next week, closely followed by a deserved Season Three pickup.

Catch the premiere of “The Trouble with Harry” at 9pm ET tonight (February 2).

Fans — like me — of entertaining Fox series Human Target have lots to be happy about at the moment. The cause for joy is the generous network’s decision to schedule two new episodes of the action drama this week.

That’s the good news. The less-good news is that the episodes are not back-to-back, but in two different time slots spread out over two days that are two days apart. How do you say “momentum drain”? Maybe viewers should just be grateful for what they do get, though, especially in this age of quick cancellations and 13-or-fewer-episode “seasons.”

Coming up tonight, January 31, at 8pm ET is the Human Target episode called “Kill Bob.” Former Desperate Housewives actor Todd Grinnell guest stars as the titular Bob, a man who seeks Chance’s help to prevent his spook-y wife from taking him out permanently. Lauren German, most recently of ABC chiller Happy Town, plays Bob’s suspicious significant other.

Then on Wednesday, February 2, in Human Target‘s current regular time slot of 9pm ET, fans can catch the second latest new episode of the show dubbed “The Trouble with Harry.” The Season Two finale “Marshall Pucci” will follow on the same day and time the next week, after which fans will have to chill out until Fox announces whether or not we’ll be blessed with a third season. Yours truly certainly hopes we are.

Sneak a peek at the first fresh episode of Human Target this week in the preview clip below. A bonus comes in the form of behind-the-scenes commentary from executive producer Matt Miller. In addition, fib-centric drama Lie to Me closes its third season right after the episode at 9pm.

NBC’s latest primetime project, The Cape, premieres tonight, January 9, at 9pm ET in a special two-hour, Sunday time slot.

The series stars Australian actor David Lyons (ER) as the titular character Cape, who’s also known as former cop Vince Faraday in his non-superhero life. The police officer decides to take on a new identity and fight crime with a team of carnival hooligans in order to bring his family back together again after he’s framed for being dirty.

Also starring with Lyons are Keith David (ER) as mentor and circus crook Max Malini, Summer Glau (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) as crime-scene blogger Orwell, and James Frain (True Blood) and Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) as Cape’s archenemies Chess and Scales, respectively.

Sneak a peek at TV’s latest action show below and tune in at 9pm ET. I’ll definitely be there, although the “Pilot“/”Tarot” double feature repeats at the same time Monday night, January 10, as well.

The second season of Fox action drama Human Target got off to an exciting start during last week’s premiere and now it’s time for the next new episode, “The Wife’s Tale.”

Former Swingtown star Molly Parker and Justified cast member M.C. Gainey tag along for the ride as Chance attempts to protect the widow of a man he killed nearly a decade ago. Meanwhile, loaded new honorary team member Ilsa Pucci learns some interesting things about her latest business acquisition, meaning Team Chance.

Sneak a peek at “The Wife’s Tale” below before it premieres at 8pm ET tonight, November 24.

This has been a fairly dull fall on the tube thus far, at least for me, but television is about to get must-see-able again with the Season 2 premiere of Fox action drama Human Target at 8pm ET tonight, November 17.

Although the series only has 13 episodes scheduled — would be 22 if the number were up to me — Fox did at least move it from Friday nights to a less dead-end time slot on Wednesdays. Equally nice, the show has added British actress Indira Varma, formerly of the HBO saga Rome.

Currently featured in BBC America’s highly recommended Sunday-night detective drama Luther, as well, Varma plays super-wealthy philanthropist and recent widow Ilsa Pucci, whose name doubles as the title of the second-season opener. Her character emerges as Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) and Guererro (Jackie Earle Haley) attempt to rescue Winston (Chi McBride), who was abducted at the end of the first season.

Other notable appearances during the season premiere include Janet Montgomery of Entourage as new recurring thief character Ames, Samantha Who? alum Rick Hoffman, Psych star Timothy Omundson, and Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse vet Tahmoh Penikett. In other words, good times!

Sneak a peek at the upcoming second season of Human Target below, and also catch up on the entertaining freshman season in the quick rewind video that follows the preview.

The next fresh episode of new CW action series Nikita is the October 7 installment “The Guardian.”

Nikita encounters a rival worthy of her skills at last when a Division operative named Owen (Devon Sawa, Final Destination) goes on the lam. His escape motivates shady bossman Percy to conduct a search himself, instead of his usual routine of ordering underlings to do all the hard work, which eventually lands him in a standoff with both Nikita and Owen.

Meanwhile, the inevitable occurs back at Division when Alex finally gets busted as she attempts to contact her partner on the outside. However, fortunately for her — and ultimately Nikita, too — the person who catches her happens to be Thom, a guy who is obviously interested in Alex as more than just a training buddy.

Sneak a peek at “The Guardian” in the clip below, which features Nikita and Owen getting to know each other a little better. The new “Kill or Be Killed” episode of The Vampire Diaries airs before Nikita at 8pm ET.

Entertaining rookie CW action drama Nikita closes its first month on television with the fresh September 30 episode “Rough Trade.”

After the title character played by Maggie Q returns to a former case that required her to go undercover as a nanny for a now-deceased government official, Michael finally starts to question how his boss Percy operates. Meanwhile, back at the Division facility, Amanda attempts to cure Alex after she has a panic attack during training.

Preview several parts of “Rough Trade” in the behind-the-scenes sneak peek below. The Vampire Diaries precedes Nikita at 8pm ET with the new episode “Memory Lane.”

Fans of former The Shield star Michael Chiklis and recent Dexter regular Julie Benz don’t have to wait much longer to see the actors on television on a regular basis again. Both headline the highly anticipated new ABC family series No Ordinary Family, which premieres at 8pm ET tonight, September 28.

Chiklis and Benz play police sketch artist Jim Powell and scientist Stephanie Powell, respectively. Married for 16 long years, they are the parents of two teenage children: 16-year-old daughter Daphne (Kay Panabaker, Summerland) and 14-year-old son JJ (Jimmy Bennett, Star Trek). The entire clan develops some very interesting superhuman abilities after a family bonding trip to South America leads to a terrifying plane crash in the Amazon River.

Viewers get to go along on the ride as the Powells return home and first discover, then learn to live with their new powers, which are both a benefit and a burden. Also starring are Stephen Collins (7th Heaven) as Stephanie’s boss Dr. Dayton King, Romany Malco (Weeds) as Jim’s best friend George St. Cloud, and Autumn Reeser (The O.C.) as Stephanie’s laboratory technician Katie Andrews.

Preview No Ordinary Family in the trailer below. A summary of series returning on September 28 follows the video.
