What’s it like being the new kid at CTU? Katee Sackhoff: You know what’s funny is I think that had this been the first year where they had new people come out, I think that it would be awkward but because this is a show where every season they have someone new, if not multiple people new, they’re used to it. So Kiefer [Sutherland], Mary Lynn [Rasjkub] and the crew and are pretty much just like, “Hey, you’re the new girl, Hi, how are you? Welcome.” Because it’s been really great that way. Also, I couldn’t have found a more similar situation to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Its subject matter, not only subject matter but the crew is like a family. The shooting schedule is very similar to BATTLESTAR so for me, it was a very, very easy transition and it’s been great.
Is there a sense of relief not walking around with Cylon-sized secrets anymore?
Are you f***ing kidding me? Like I don’t have to walk around with secrets anymore? I’m sorry to swear at you. No, it’s very funny that you say that because I went from a show that’s clouded in this secrecy of who the Cylons are and blah blah blah blah blah and then I come to a show where I’m told right before I come out here, “You can’t tell them anything. You do know that, right?” So it’s very similar. I think that because 24 airs so quickly, in fact that episodes come out so fast, that you kind of have to keep everything very secret because there are so many twists and turns that if I were to sit here and say some random thing, if it was a Starbuck thing, like I die in an episode or something, it could potentially ruin the entire season. So it’s one of those things where you just kind of have to keep your mouth shut, which I got accustomed to on BATTLESTAR.
Even though we at theTVaddict.com feel no need to be reminded that the end of the TV season is a mere 104 days away, NBC feels the need to turn the page on this dreadfully disappointing season. Which is probably why the Network decided to jump the gun and announce the season finale dates for some of their shows… in February! Mark your calendars accordingly.
What’s more impressive: The fact that during yesterday’s Super Bowl, FOX continued to live up to their namesake (as in sly as a…) by allowing Coke to promote and presumably pay to put THE SIMPSONS in front of the largest audience in TV history? Or the fact that they did so without having to pay any of the show’s pricey voice actors?
If you’re trying to avoid the most commercially crass holiday ever foisted upon the North American public, consider this a warning: Thursday’s 30 ROCK — complete with a bevy of guest stars including Elizabeth Banks, Jon Bon Jovi, Dean Winters, Jason Sudeikis and Jon Hamm — will celebrate Valentine’s Day a tad early, thus potentially catching those bitter about the greeting-card-and-candy-company-created “holiday” (read: single folks) off guard. More first look photos of which can be seen after the jump.
On tonight’s HOUSE, Dr. Lisa Cuddy will ask the question the likes of Ally McBeal, Miranda Hobbes and Christina Yang have grappled with throughout television history: Relationship, family and career, “Can a woman really have it all?”
“Cuddy is trying to do everything and I’m just glad there is an episode that shows how much it is she actually has to do, how much is on her plate,” explained actress Lisa Edelstein on a recent phone interview with theTVaddict.com. “Representing single moms, and single working moms and what they do is always nice because they’re unsung heroines.”
Titled “5 to 9,” tonight’s extra-helping of Cuddy will give fans a rare glimpse of Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital through the eyes of someone other than the show’s titular character. You know, the stuff that happens when the Dean of Medicine isn’t busy telling House he’s not allowed to inject a patient with Malaria on a ‘hunch.’
In case you missed it, Tim Tebow’s controversial Super Bowl ad just got knocked off the front page by two guys, a girl and one really awkward Super Bowl Party! How did Letterman, Leno and Oprah make it happen, the NY Times has the details.
Lost all interest in the Super Bowl now that YouTube pretty much posts commercials online, as they happen? Join the club. Which is why we thought we’d offer up a few alternative viewing suggestions on the off chance you’re looking for something other than the big game to watch tonight.
PUPPY BOWL VI (3, 5, 7 9, 11PM Animal Planet)
Just when you thought Animal Planet’s sixth annual PUPPY BOWL — which features a range of canine youngster playing on a miniature football field — couldn’t get any cuter, along comes a halftime show put on by kittens and a cheering section filled with rabbits.
DANCES WITH WOLVES (8PM AMC)
Still haven’t found the time to see James Cameron’s Avatar on the big screen? Why not save yourself the $12.50, overpriced concessions and 3-D induced headache with this eerily similar Kevin Costner epic.
