With Thanksgiving a mere day away, we at theTVaddict.com thought now would be the perfect time to give our readers the opportunity to post the obligatory “What You’re Thankful For…”

But remember. The key here is that this is theTVaddict.com, not theFEELGOODSAPPYTHANKGIVINGaddict.com. So we don’t want to hear that any of you are thankful for your loving family, great friends, peace on earth yadda, yadda, yadda!

What we want to know is what you’re really thankful for! You know, important stuff like your new 42″ Panasonic Viera HDTV (also known as, what this TV Addict is thankful for!). Or the fact that the current economic crisis finally brought with it the low prices so that you could actually afford your new 42″ HDTV!

Other TV Addict ‘approved’ things to be thankful for include the January return of LOST, NIP/TUCK, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and DAMAGES, record ratings for SMALLVILLE & SUPERNATURAL, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, your PVR/DVR/TiVo, a full season pick-up for CHUCK and/or the overall general awesomeness that is Neil Patrick Harris.

Now that you’ve got the idea, post away and be sure to check back with theTVaddict.com tomorrow (on a scheduled Turkey break of course) to see if your post was featured.

Remember August 2008? A simpler time when television fans were anxiously counting down the days until the return of their favorite fall shows like PUSHING DAISIES, DIRTY SEXY MONEY and ELI STONE (cue: awkward pause), many of you still had money in the stock market (cue: more awkward pause) and your very own TV Addict correctly predicted that Michael Phelps would be tapped to host SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s season premiere (cue: applause!)

Well here we are, four months later and once again, this TV Addict is ready to put my 100% eerily accurate ability to predict the future on the line with my BIG BANG THEORY PREDICTION! The inspiration for which was another hilarious albeit uber-nerdy Sheldon rant as he revealed on Monday’s episode his true intentions behind wanting to ensure that Leonard’s relationship with Stephanie is a success.

Roslin: “If you’re a Cylon I’d like to know…”
Adama: “If I’m a Cylon you’re really screwed…”
The TV Addict: “January 2009 really can’t come soon enough!”

If there’s a silver lining to be taken away from the disappointing cancellation of LIPSTICK JUNGLE, it’s that NBC will be filling the void left by the dearly departed Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price vehicle with the critically acclaimed (not to mention TV Addict) favorite FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

So get ready my fellow fictional football fans. Because the Dillon Panthers are coming off the bench on January 16 at 9PM. And from what we’ve gleaned from those lucky enough to have access to DirecTV, season three of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS is in every sense of the word, a touchdown.

Thanks to GMMR for the Tip!

Good News: According to a recent report, Americans are watching more TV than ever. Bad News: Notable exceptions to ‘more TV than ever’ unfortunately include PUSHING DAISIES, ELI STONE and DIRTY SEXY MONEY. [Source]

Good News: TERMINATOR THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES delivered two fairly shocking reveals in last night’s can’t miss episode. Bad News: With a season low 4.62 million viewers, most of you missed it! Begging the question, what’s the deal? [Source]

Good News: Horatio Sanz reveals his weight loss secret. Bad News: Turns out eating better and exercise are kind of a big deal. Which is a shame, because this TV Addict was sort of hoping his ’secret’ didn’t involve eating less burgers, pizza and hot dogs. [Source]
