It's not a bad thing to be Joss Whedon's friend. Like, say, when your character is killed off in one of the summer's biggest films and he's resurrected in an ABC television series. Such is the case with Clark Gregg. Cue the comic book fans' tears of joy.
Marvel announced in a panel yesterday at New York Comic Con that the character of Agent Phil Coulson will be revived for the small screen series adaptation of S.H.I.E.L.D. Based on the Jack Kirby comics of the same name, the series will follow the adventures of the secretive military agency S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistic Directorate). Coulson will be brought back from his death in The Avengers, but there's no word yet as to exactly how that will be done...
Joss' brother Jed Whedon will join him in producing the show, along with Jed's wife Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell and Jeph Loeb.
There's no word yet as to when the series is set to premiere.

Wonder Woman Reboot: On Again
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Gossip, Rumors,
One well-known TV writer is venturing where some of Hollywood's finest scriptwriters fear to pen.
David E. Kelley (whose credits include Ally McBeal, Boston Public and The Practice) is working on a new Wonder Woman script which will re-launch the franchise in TV.
Kelley has inked a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the superheroine to the small screen—and things look promising. Kelley has a lot of TV clout, a clever way to with dialogue and a string of successful series to his credit.
Wonder Woman was previously the subject of her own TV series in the late 1970s. Lynda Carter became known as the iconic Wonder Woman of that era.
Another series was attempted in the 1990s,this time with Deborah Joy LeVine penning the script (her work includes Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), but the project was scrapped during casting of the title character.

TV Talk: No Sex for Neal McDonough, Jimmy Kimmel’s Post-Lost Special

-Did Neal McDonough’s religious beliefs cost him a gig? According to a report, the married Catholic was replaced on ABC’s Scoundrels because he didn’t want to do love scenes with Virginia Madsen. It’s a principle the Desperate Housewives star has stuck by during his career.
-True Blood, which was already based on Charlaine Harris’ novels, will now be adapted into a comic book series. Although the main characters will be included, the stories will be different from the ones seen on HBO.
-Damages could soon be pulling double-duty. If the critically-acclaimed drama is going to stay afloat, future seasons may air first on DirecTV before it airs on FX. That’s similar to the arrangement NBC had for Friday Night Lights.
-Jimmy Kimmel’s love of Lost has earned him a prime position. The late night comedian will now host a post-finale special after the show ends its run on Sunday, May 23.
