The TV Addict 

Good News for fans of the now defunct WB Network. The WB is officially back in business with today’s public launch of theWB.com. Bad news, you’ve got to be located in the United States to access the site, but we’ll get to that in a moment.

More importantly, theWB.com features full length episodes of some of this TV Addict’s all-times favorite shows. Including EVERWOOD, FIREFLY, FRIENDS, THE OC, SMALLVILLE, ONE TREE HILL, VERONICA MARS and GILMORE GIRLS. Not to mention ANGEL, BABYLON 5, ROSWELL and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, which fall under the category of shows this TV Addict hopes to one day find the time to watch.

Also available online will be original programming courtesy of two of the hottest names in television production. Premiering September 8th is McG’s [THE OC] SORORITY FOREVER, which is described as a mashup of the hit internet series PROM QUEEN and THE OC. While Josh Schwartz is working diligently [no doubt in the four minutes of daily free time between producing CHUCK and GOSSIP GIRL] on the UNTITLED JOSH SCHWARTZ MUSIC PROJECT, with Special Guest Star Misha Barton! Okay, so we totally made that last part about Misha Barton up. But in our defense, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for the girl to show up an internet site that isn’t called perezhilton.com.

Moving on to what you really care about. How on earth one can access this wealth of TV goodness if you happen to live outside of the continental United States. Well thankfully it’s surprisingly easy. Simply head on over to hotspotshield.com, download the latest version that runs on both Mac and Windows and you’re ready to rock.

Incidentally, Hotspot Shield will also allow you to watch you favorite shows on abc.com, hulu.com, cbs.com and fox.com.

And remember, when your boss or teacher angrily demands why you’ve been so unproductive as of late, don’t shoot the messenger!
