Pop Culture Roundup Dec. 6, 2006

"Lost" will be airing an hour later--10 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. ET--when it returns from hiatus Feb. 7. The switch is so "Lost" won't be up against "American Idol" on Fox.

As for what will compete against "Idol," ABC has decided that laughter -- and games -- are the best medicine. Net has slotted its laffer "Knights of Prosperity" Wednesdays at 9 p.m., directly against the "Idol" results show. It'll be paired at 9:30 with another new comedy, "In Case of Emergency."

Laffer hour is set to debut Jan. 3, a month before "Day Break" was set to end its run. ABC News programming will fill the 10 p.m. Wednesday slot in January before "Lost" returns.

Fans have voted current Doctor Who actor David Tennant as their favorite person ever in the role, ousting Tom Baker from his longtime top spot.

The Scottish actor, who made his debut last Christmas, received 28% of votes cast in a survey of 4,000 readers of Doctor Who Magazine.

"This is a real honour, and I am totally gobsmacked," he said.

Will a live-action "Justice League" series spin out of "Smallville"? Maybe.

Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg will be returning to The CW's Smallville -- which has also featured Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter -- for an upcoming episode called "Justice." The episode, which is under tight wraps by the network and Warner Bros. Television, will be one of Smallville's most expensive and ambitious of the season.

Now, a source tells The Comics Continuum that DC Comics heroes will likely again be appearing in another episode of Smallville before the sixth season is over.
