The TV Addict 

Just what does FOX’s latest attempt at live-action comedy success have in common with a 200-million dollar 10-part HBO miniseries? Perhaps a little more than you might think! See for yourself after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Inspired by Movieline and in anticipation of the soon-to-be-released Apple iPad that will more than likely signal the beginning of the end for traditional print media, this TV Addict thought it might be fun to start highlighting a look back on the week in television that was in nostalgic magazine form (And yes, we realize we may have a just little too much free time on our hands!)

This week on theTVaddict.com we asked ONE TREE HILL fans what is wrong with this picture, offered up a first look of Sacha Baron Cohn on THE SIMPSONS, unveiled our COUGAR TOWN challenge, teased the moment UGLY BETTY fans have waited four seasons for, reviewed HIGH SOCIETY, gave away SUPERNATURAL swag, and interviewed Zachary Levi, Lauren Graham, and Nina Dobrev.

• And the GLEEKS shall inherit the earth. See video above.
• SCRUBS canceled? ABC’s website may have let the cat out of the bag.
• Time may not be up on 24 after-all, with 20th Century Fox approaching NBC about picking up the series should FOX cancel it.
• Shakeup in Pawnee, as Paul Schneider exits PARKS AND RECREATION to pursue a film career.
• Summer Glau is back, signing on to NBC’s super-hero themed pilot THE CAPE.
• Betty White is the new “Black,” following up her SNL hosting gig with a guest appearance on THE MIDDLE.
• COMMUNITY’s Donald Glover does Obama, Fred Armisen eat your heart out.

Warning: The above photo of Walter sporting some slammin’ sideburns coupled with FRINGE’s April 1st spring premiere should in no way fool you. Seriously. Despite an April Fool’s Day relaunch, there will be very little to laugh about when the sophomore series returns. Why? Well, we’re not about to spoil the fun here. Except to say that the episode entitled “Peter” will flashback to 1985 and feature your first look at Peter’s hereto unforeseen mother played by Irish actress Orla Brady. Feel free to fill in the blanks by checking out a few incredibly spoiler-heavy photos after the jump.

There’s a reason FOX is our favorite network. Whether they’re taking a chance on a group of unknown high school gleeks, or continue to be the only major network to put the time and energy into crafting creative press screeners, the simple fact of the matter is this: They try harder.

Take this summer for example. Unlike their main competition — who seem only too happy to sit back and cede valuable primetime real estate, not to mention record ratings and profits to cable networks such as USA and TNT — FOX has decided to try something radical. Rather than continue to pass off the usual mix of reruns and reality as must see summer TV (Yes, we’re talking to you NBC), Kevin Reilly (Entertainment President, FOX Broadcasting Company) and Co. are… brace yourself… actually going to offer up shows that viewers will be interested in. Crazy, right?
