2009-09-15 07:51:00

Even Frodo eventually gave in to the power of the ring.” — Vanessa   “I’m good at secret relationships. I’ve had a bit of practice.” — Nate   “I’m sure Blair and Chuck will be there if the murder/suicide I predicted hasn’t happened yet.” — Vanessa   “We could never be boring.” — Chuck to Blair
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Fall’s Most Anticipated New Dramas
2009-09-11 19:03:00
The GOOD WIFE Now, stop us if you’ve heard this one before. A public figure gets caught in a very-public scandal and must defend himself while his mortified/humiliated wife graciously stands by his side. Of course, what you probably haven’t heard — after the cameras, nosey reporters and the invitations to guest co-host THE VIEW quiet down— is what happens next. Which is where the titular wife (played to pitch perfect perfection by ER vet Julianna Marguilies) comes in. Will Marguilies’ Alicia Florrick be able to navigate the complexities of work and family while husband Peter (Chris Noth) serves time in the crowbar salon? It certainly will be fun to watch, especially thanks to some of Mrs. Florrick’s new co-workers who include Matt Czuchry (GILMORE GIRLS), Josh Charles (SPORTS NIGHT) and the always entertaining Christine Baranski (CYBILL). THE GOOD WIFE premieres on Tuesday September 22nd at 10PM on CBS, GlobalTV in Canada FLASHFORWARD Why does the entire ...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons We’re Excited For FRINGE’s Second Se
2009-09-11 00:54:00
Love is in the air After a long day of saving the world from paranormal phenomena and mutated serial killers that may-or-may-not-be from ‘the other side (dimension?),’ it should probably come as no surprise that two of your favorite series regulars succumb to temptation on Thursday’s second season premiere. But what might come as a surprise is which member (or members) of Fringe division lock lips! Needless to say, like most everything on the series, we guarantee you will not see it coming. The truth is out there Which is our way of saying that X-FILES fans in particular should pay extra close attention to Thursday’s episode that have writers J.J. Abrams and Akiva Goldsman unexpectedly tipping their hat to the paranormal FOX series that started it all. Agent Charlie Francis Even though actor Kirk Acevedo did announce via facebook that he was fired, don’t believe everything you read. Or rather, do believe it. Kinda. It will make Thursday’s episode ...

In our third consecutive podcast in a row, hosts Daniel (theTVaddict) and partner-in-crime Ariel continue to poke holes in our credibility by offering up our take on the season premieres of MELROSE PLACE and 90210, nielsen’s faulty ratings system and of course our usual plethora of random inappropriate tangents.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Fall’s Most Anticipated New Comedies
2009-09-09 19:31:00
COMMUNITY For his first regular series television project, THE SOUP’s Joel McHale proves he’s no dummy… by enrolling in Community College. No, really. Rather than go down the sitcom route that has plagued so many big names prior (see: Geena Davis, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Bette Midler to name a few) McHale cleverly decided to surround himself with perhaps the most talented group of quirky newcomers since Dunder Mifflin opened up a branch in Scranton. Yup, thanks to Chevy Chase, Allison Brea and our prediction for this Fall’s break-out star Danny Pudi (Sorry Jack McBrayer, you’re so 2007), we finally have a reason to be excited for school. COMMUNITY premieres on Thursday September 17 at 9:30PM on NBC, CityTV in Canada COUGAR TOWN Heading into the fall season, there was little doubt that the Courteney Cox starring, Bill Lawrence produced comedy was going to make this list. Unfortunately, rather than offer up big laughs, COUGAR TOWN is little more...
The TV Addict Podcast: Two in a Row!
2009-09-03 02:46:00
They said it couldn’t be done. Yet here we are. In theTVaddict.com’s second — yes, you’re reading that correctly — second podcast in a row, hosts Daniel (The TV Addict) and co-host Ariel spend our usual forty-plus minutes touching on a potpourri of subjects that may-or-may-not even include a tiny bit of TV Talk. As per usual, please don’t hesitate, and by ‘don’t hesitate,’ I of course mean… let us know what you think by leaving us a comment, reviewing us on iTunes and/or sending us an email at info@thetvaddict.com or ariel@thetvaddict.com.

Are you a social media addict?
2009-08-31 03:54:00
You tweet the minute you wake up, spend the entire day Digging and Facebooking, and the only people you trust to help you make life's big decisions (i.e. how good are the chicken fingers at the neighborhood bar) have Yelp accounts.Sounds like a social media addiction, but how can you be sure?...
The TV Addict Podcast: We’re Back… For Realz!
2009-08-27 18:30:00
No really, after far too long a hiatus, a handful of technical difficulties and the realization that a podcast about nothing is well, better than no podcast at all comes the return (for realz, hence the title!) of the TV Addict Podcast. This week, hosts Daniel (The TV Addict) and co-host Ariel spend a solid forty-something minutes catching up, swapping summer stories, and trying not to laugh when Ari compares herself to Obama. As per usual, please don’t hesitate, and by ‘don’t hesitate,’ I of course mean… let us know what you think by leaving us a comment, reviewing us on iTunes and/or sending us an email at info@thetvaddict.com or ariel@thetvaddict.com.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Vampires Ignored by Entertainment Weekly
2009-08-25 20:50:00
In their wildly-predictable August 7th cover story, Entertainment Weekly did a typically-lazy Top 20 list of the “Greatest Vampires Of All Time.” And as one might expect of a piece obviously slapped together in an attempt to boost sales by putting TRUE BLOOD’s Bill and Twilight’s Edward on the cover, the list… well, frankly, it sucked. Which is why CT put together his list of top five vamps who should have made the cut but didn’t.   Barnabas Collins, DARK SHADOWS How the magazine expected to have its list taken seriously when it left off one of the most legendary blood suckers in entertainment history is beyond us. Barnabas single fangededly turned an about-to-be-canceled soap and made it the talk of the nation.   Godric, TRUE BLOOD Because the mag never met a story it couldn’t miss the current peg to, they failed to even mention Allan Hyde’s majorly sexy vamp, who joins Bill and Eric in rounding out the show’s unholy trini...
The TV Addict Responds to the CW’s Salacious New Ad Campaign for THE BEAU
2009-08-19 21:02:00
What am I looking at? Well, since you asked (1) A network that has so little faith in the intelligence of their audience — not to mention the show itself — that they’re taking the easy out by selling sex as opposed to such silliness as a plot or even concept; (2) A network that cancelled PRIVILEGED, a warm, witty, heartfelt show I wouldn’t be ashamed to let my non-existent daughter watch and replaced it with a show headlined by an actress who is no one’s idea of a role model; (3) A network so worried about the possibility (read: likelihood) of said actress’ well-publicized “personal problems” resurfacing that she’s been all-but-eliminated from the latest pre-launch publicity push (more of which can be seen after the jump); and (4) A show that will no doubt be a big hit — within the desired demographic — for the network, proving yet again that this TV Addict is rapidly becoming both too old and too smart for some of the crap being foisted upon us by ...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Gayest Straight Characters
2009-08-13 22:28:00
Dr. Harold Abbott, EVERWOOD For heaven’s sake, the guy took showtunes on the ski trip trip he chaperoned, declaring there would be “neither hanky nor panky.” The Crane Brothers, FRASIER Frankly, Niles and Frasier were perfect for one another… if not for that whole pesky incest thing. Adam Newman, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS The first soap character to stick his… er… toe into the waters of bisexuality simply to avoid his nasty schemes being exposed! Dr. Zachary Smith, LOST IN SPACE Although the self-absorbed villain occasionally oogled scantily-clad spacegirls, one got the distinct impression the closest he came to the female anatomy was when calling the Robot a “bubble-headed booby!” Chuck Bass, GOSSIP GIRL I don’t care how rich a guy is — or, for that matter, how many women he sleeps with — a penchant for ascots will always start the rumor mill churning.
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Faulty Faculty
2009-08-12 23:43:00
The faculty of GLEE’s McKinley High: Between the pot-dealing gym teacher, the music teacher who has a tendency to sport a clarinet in his pocket at very inappropriate times, and the power-mad egomaniacal ‘Cheerios’ Coach Sue Sylvester, McKinley High’s faculty — while certainly admiral with regards to their level of dedication — loses serious points for being so for all the wrong reasons. Any Teacher on LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: Seriously, they’re called ’special victims’ for a reason, and if Benson and Stabler come a knocking on your classroom door, it’s probably not to hand out a citation for ‘Teacher of the Year.’ THE SIMPSON’s Ms. Krabappel: And speaking of ‘Teacher of the Year,’ we’re fairly certain that smoking, boozing, and failing to graduate Bart Simpson after twenty plus years of teaching automatically disqualifies you for said honor. HUNG’s Ray Drecker: Teacher by da...

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for GREEK, FRINGE, THE CLEVELAND SHOW & More!
2009-08-11 16:38:00
Question: For quite some time now you’ve been kind enough to provide your fellow TV Addicts with an incredibly useful calendar highlighting the month’s big TV events. Seriously, my cubicle at work is practically wallpapered with them and I really can’t thank you enough for your hard work. The only problem is that you totally dropped the ball when it came to August. Please explain yourself? — HookedonTVA The TV Addict: Truthfully, the TV Addict was on strike. And by that I mean, if the networks aren’t going to bother to program quality television in August, I certainly am not going to take time away from my FREAKS AND GEEKS marathon busy schedule to help promote the return of MILLIONAIRE on ABC. Plus, between Comic Con, my much-deserved vacation and the Television Critics Association Press Tour, I simply ran out of time. That said — here in a nutshell is everything you need to know for August: MONK and PSYCH returned to USA on August 7, MAD MEN returns t...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: FRINGE Season Two Spoilers
2009-08-06 20:14:00
1. While the first episode of FOX’s FRINGE opened with a plane-related incident involving a group of dead strangers, the second season begins with an automobile crash which while smaller in scope is larger in impact, especially where one of your favorite agents is concerned! 2. Fans will be relieved to discover that Olivia does, in fact, return from the alternate universe in which she last was seen. But of course, there’s a catch or two. For one thing, she returns with key pieces of her memory regarding the events that transpired there compromised. Worse, she’s not the only one to come through that mysterious doorway. 3. Don’t believe everything you read about Agent Charlie Francis — even if it was said by portrayer Kirk Acevedo, who posted on his Facebook page that he’d been fired. Or rather, do believe it. Kinda. Cryptic enough for you? 4. The season premiere is very newbie friendly thanks to the introduction of Agent Jessup (played by Meghan Markle), whose dialogu...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons Why We’re Excited for TCA [Aside from
2009-08-03 17:33:00
1. Replace steroid-riddled Major League Baseball players with cocktail-swilling professional TV critics and you’ve got reason #1 why this TV Addict is excited for TCA. It’s pretty much our MLB Fantasy Camp equivalent. 2. Thanks to the wonders of live blogging, we’ll be first to get you all of the scoop on your favorite shows both new and old. Assuming of course you don’t follow prolific tweeters hitfixdaniel, sepinwall, moryan and the televisionary who will no doubt tweet us to the punch! 3. TCA is Comic Con for professional television reporters: All of the access, none if the costumes. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) 4. This TV Addict finally gets to come face-to-face with his man crush, SFGate TV critic extraordinaire Tim Goodman so that I might present him with a gift. Which FYI, is not nearly as creepy as it sounds. I hope. 5. Attending TCA puts me one step closer to my final goal… world domination. (Um… did I say tha...
I Am a Children's Resale Addict
2009-07-31 15:31:00
This one time I saw a mom on Oprah with a credit card spending problem. She confessed to -- all too often -- spending $50 on designer outfits for her kids and then selling them at yard sales for $1. Oh, how I wish that woman lived in my neighborhood. Since she doesn't, I have to keep a keen eye out for other children's resale opportunities.  Aside from garage sale season (the weekend starts NOW, in case you didn't know), there are two such opportunities going on right now: Best Brands Resale is have a sale today in Wheaton at the Aldersgate United Methodist Church (1753 S. Blanchard). According to the Web site, this is an upscale consignment sale where...
The TV Addict Goes on Hiatus (Again!)
2009-07-26 18:55:00
Hiatus Day 1: The TVA goes ATV’ing Are you ready to find an ulterior method of procrastination during your work/school day? This TV Addict certainly hopes so, because I’m outta here! After three years of virtually daily postings [with the exception of weekends and that dark period following EVERWOOD's cancellation] I’ve once again decided to take some of my mother’s childhood advice to heart, shut off that damn “idiot box” and give those those so-called great outdoors. Is the Grand Canyon all that it’s cracked up to be? Does what happen in Vegas really stay in Vegas? Stay Tuned. And in the meantime, feel free to visit some of my fantastic fellow TV Bloggers [see links below] and take solace in the fact that upon my return, you’ll all be treated to a first hand account direct from theTVaddict.com’s first ever appearance at the Television Critic’s Association Press Tour. Plus, wall-to-wall Comic Con coverage. After watching the long-awa...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things We Learned at the CAPRICA/ BATTLESTAR GAL
2009-07-25 01:23:00
Ronald D. Moore, not a fan of Emmy Voters So much so that he has a message for them: Frak you! Seriously. Completely unprovoked, Moore went off on voters after yet another year of egregious Emmy snubs. “It is a frakkin’ crime that the cast was never recognized for their performances. It is criminal.” said a visibly perturbed Moore. “We would not be talking about CAPRICA on this panel today if it were not for the ensemble of actors that we put together on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.” SyFy: Imagine Greater Less Boobies One thing that won’t be coming with CAPRICA when it makes the jump from DVD to basic cable in January is gratuitous nudity. That said, Moore does promise that when SyFy does rebroadcast the premiere, they’re planning to insert some new, never-before seen goodies. Joked fellow producer David Eick, “FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Jeffrey Reimer, who directed the pilot is known in the business for the speed in which he works. Yet somehow, on ...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Shows That Make Us Tense When We Watch
2009-07-23 18:40:00
DEADLIEST CATCH Any show where you have to worry about cameramen being washed overboard by a rogue wave is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats. SOUTHLAND The NBC cop drama has moments so real that you half expect the bullets to fly out of the screen. The only problem? The bleeped obscenities remind you it’s just a television show. NIP/TUCK This show long ago proved that there’s no line it won’t cross. It’s gotten increasingly ridiculous over the years, but waiting for the next shoe to drop still makes it an incredibly wild ride. THE AMAZING RACE Those final “who’ll be the last team to reach the check-in” moments might be the very definition of “nail-biters.” VERMINATORS Rats, roaches, bees, spiders, gators, snakes… if you can get through a single episode of this Discovery Channel reality show without squirming, you’re a far better man than I.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: “Must Bring” Comic Con Essentials
2009-07-20 18:25:00
Comfortable Shoes Why? Well, measuring 1,104,309 square feet, the San Diego Convention Center stretches longer than the eye can see. A fact that you’ll become intimately familiar with as you scuttle between panels, events and the showroom floor all the while trying to navigate your way between gaggles of anime-costumed adults reenacting scenes from obscure Japanese television show you’ve never heard of. Water and Snacks Bring your own. Unless you enjoy waiting in ludicrously long lines for stale pretzels, or paying exorbitant prices for bottled water. Deodorant and Hand Sanitizer If not for yourself, then for those around you. Because after four days of walking around the petri-dish that is San Diego’s downtown core. Odds are fairly good that you (a) smell and (b) may have possibly contracted swine flu. Common Sense At the risk of offending readers, we’re just gonna go ahead and say beg: When choosing a costume, please dress body type appropriate. Because ...

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Emmy Surprises!
2009-07-16 18:03:00
1. Words we never expected, and frankly don’t believe belong in the same sentence: ACCORDING TO JIM + EMMY, with the ABC ‘laugher’ scoring a nod for outstanding cinematography for a half-hour series. (Hat Tip: @HitFixDaniel) 2. FAMILY GUY, you know we love you. But an outstanding comedy series nomination over the likes of PUSHING DAISIES, SOUTH PARK, THE SIMPSONS, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE, and PARTY DOWN… well, not so much. 3. While BATTLESTAR GALACTICA’s intrepid crew of actors getting snubbed is sadly, par for the course come Emmy time, composer Bear McCreary getting snubbed is not and we should add, and Emmy #FAIL of the highest order. 4. Just how talented are Tina Fey and John Hamm? They got recognized not just once, but twice! Garnering nominations for their guest stints on SNL and 30 ROCK in addition to their regular gigs on 30 ROCK and MAD MEN respectively. 5. As EW.com’s Ken Tucker so astutely pointed out, “DR.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Summer “Treats” We Could Do Without
2009-07-15 21:42:00
1. IMPACT, METEOR and THE STORM Unlike their big screen brethren, these cheestacular made-for-television disaster flicks do not have a Michael Bay-sized budget to make up for the lack of stars, story and substance. 2. Coverage of JON & KATE PLUS EIGHT Jon’s engaged! Kate’s dating! The kids are coming out with a clothing line of their very own! We hate to say this, but can someone please tell us which celebrity has to die next in order to get these people out of the news? 3. BIG BROTHER’s Jesse He’s come back bigger, buffer and more obnoxious than ever… which we hardly thought possible. 4. Actors shaving their heads First Stephen Colbert, now Dr. Gregory House, when did shaving one’s head become the new ‘Rachel?’ And while we’re on the subject — Simon Baker — don’t even think about it. 5.

By: CT 1) In 13 states, the show contains the highest legally-allowed guilt/pleasure ratio per hour. 2) You’ll feel silly when people talk about the “Chenbot” and you think it’s a dance. 3) CBS’ advertising calls it “the wildest season ever.” Surely they wouldn’t lie! 4) How else will you find out who the “mystery house guest” is? 5) Obviously you’re not going to be busy watching SAMANTHA WHO? If you were, maybe it wouldn’t have been cancelled in the first place.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Stories That Shouldn’t Make Us Laugh… But Do
2009-07-06 18:54:00
1. Sanjaya’s weeping gal pal gets the boot. While the former AMERICAN IDOL hair model kinda redeemed himself by morphing into Jungle Boy on I’M A CELEBRITY, the gal who broke into tears every time he sang (and not because it pained her) auditioned for the next season of IDOL… and was rejected.   2. Kristen Bell says MARS movie’s probably a no-go. Duh! Did anybody REALLY believe that a series watched by a handful of people — and which never recreated the appeal of its first season — would somehow get the big-bucks, big-screen treatment? Seriously?   3. Fans await emails confirming they’ve won the Jackson memorial lottery. You just know some smart spammer out there is going to trick millions of people into opening his sales pitch by putting “RE: Jackson Memorial Winner!” in the subject line.   4. Little People Ask FCC to ban the word “midget” on TV Claming the word “objectifies” them, the LPA (Little Pe...
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Proof That Hollywood is Running Out of Ideas
2009-07-02 19:22:00
1) THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE is basically a modern take on the camptacular Aaron Spelling sudser MODELS INC. So much so that we kept expecting Linda Gray to walk into a scene! 2) HUMAN TARGET’S pilot revolves around our hero riding a high-speed train that left us jonesing for an episode of the wildly awful SUPERTRAIN. 3) DAY ONE might just as well be called JERICHO 2.0. In other words: Enjoy it while it lasts, kids. 4) Since PARENTHOOD is based on a movie, let’s give it a sequelesque title and call it PARENTHOOD: EIGHT IS ENOUGH. Because this sort of feels like what you’d get if we were catching up with the Bradford kids. 5) COUGAR TOWN will make anyone who loves DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES’ Susan very, very happy, ’cause it’s basically a sitcom with Courtney Cox playing Terri Hatcher’s role.
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons Why Canada Rocks! (You Know, Aside from
2009-07-01 18:27:00
1. Cobie Smulders: Not only was Cobie Smulders responsible for one-half of television’s most unexpected and delightful relationships of this past season, elevating her will-they-or-won’t-they with one Barney Stinson to that of legendary status. Her Canadian heritage continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, as evidence by ever more Robin Sparkles, Murtaugh, and one really handy list of Canadian Sex Acts. 2. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: With 60% of “The Final Five” Canadian born (Rekha Sharma, Aaron Douglas and Michael Hogan) BATTLESTAR GALACTICA has Canada to thank for their favorite crew’s happily ever after. Plus, we’re fairly certain your friends to the north deserve bonus points for being the birthplace of the eye candy that is Grace Park, Tricia Helfer and Tahmoh Penikett. We’re just sayin’ 3. The CW: Little known fact: it’s not the Winchester Bros. talent for demon-hunting or Clark’s superpowers that have kept SUPERNATU...

Yesterday, fellow TV Blogger Memles posed the following question via twitter, “Is watching HUNG with my parents just asking for total awkwardness?” Well, as it would turn out, HUNG, at least by cable standards was fairly restrained in its use of gratuitous sex and nudity and thus, gets this TV Addict’s seal of approval on the off chance you were thinking of sitting down and watching it with the parental units. That said, here are five shows we highly recommend that you don’t watch with your parents. 1. TRUE BLOOD 2. THE TUDORS 3. SEX AND THE CITY 4. QUEER AS FOLK 5. ROME

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things You Should Know About VIRTUALITY
2009-06-26 18:10:00
With FOX unveiling Ronald D. Moore and Michael Taylor’s much buzzed about first post-BATTLESTAR GALACTICA project tonight at 8PM on FOX, this TV Addict thought now would be as good a time as any to dedicate today’s Top 5 to things you should know about VIRTUALITY. 1. It’s reality TV in space Recognizing what co-creator Ronald D. Moore calls, “a fundamental interest of people watching other real people or at least what they perceive as real people as opposed to watching fictional programming,” Moore alongside co-creator Michael Taylor cleverly built their series around exactly that; a reality TV show entitled Edge of Never: Life on the Phaeton. Complete with branded crew uniforms, confessionals, not to mention a group of really good looking actors — fans of SURVIVOR and THE AMAZING RACE will be right at home, as the good, bad and ugly from the Phaeton crew’s 10-year mission is ‘broadcast’ back to earth. 2.

Your mom’s must be so proud.   4) Burger King: You never know where that creepy oversized BK mascot is going to show up. And that’s freaky on many levels.   5)  Axe Body Spray: Their new outting has women biting off body parts of a man made of chocolate. OUCH!

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: TV Bosses Who’d Be Easiest To Work For
2009-06-23 14:48:00
1) Michael Scott, THE OFFICE: Sure, he’s insane. But he’s also wildly easy to manipulate. “Hey, Mikey, wanna hit a bar for lunch and some mano-e-mano bonding?” 2) Angela Bower, WHO’S THE BOSS: Come on, how many times did you actually see Tony do anything even remotely “housekeeper”-like?- 3) Charlie Townsend, CHARLIE’S ANGELS: Who doesn’t love the idea of a boss who never, ever shows up at the office, instead communicating entirely via telephone? 4) Col. Sherman T. Potter, M*A*S*H: Never was there a man who had more compassion for those serving under him, nor one better prepared to practice everything he preached. 5) Lorelai Gilmore, GILMORE GIRLS: Given the personal traumas she experiences on a weekly basis, no boss would be more sympathetic to whatever excuse you come up with upon arriving late each day.

SNL’s Chris Kattan drops by COUGAR TOWN as a supportive friend to chief cougar Courteney Cox. 3.
