Q: Who plays Joan in "The Punisher" with Tom Jane? She's so familiar!
Serious comic book nerds will either already know or be totally freaked out by the fact that Rebecca Romijn played Joan in the 2004 "Punisher" movie at the same time she was playing Mystique in the first three "X-Men" movies.
Even the most observant of fans can be forgiven for not knowing, though, since she was covered in blue body paint for her entire run in the "X-Men" films.

The Night Shift, on NBC
The staff of San Antonio Memorial is still struggling to cope with the consequences of a shocking hostage situation in this season premiere. The popular medical drama, which was one of the highest rated new series last summer, makes the jump to midseason.
Q: Why is the series "Parenthood" going off the air? In my opinion, it is one of the best shows on TV.
You aren't the only person to think so highly of "Parenthood," but quality and a devoted fanbase aren't the biggest factors in a show's longevity.
"Parenthood" has been critically acclaimed since its premiere in 2010 and has been embraced by a passionate group of fans. But despite all that, one thing it has never been is a hit.
