Random TV Tidbits for a Friday

My fellow Canadians… I have a dream. That you all tune into the two-hour premiere of DRIVE tonight at 8PM on CTV. By tuning in, let’s help ensure DRIVE doesn’t get the shabby treatment that CTV is famous for (see: VERONICA MARS, EVERWOOD and NIP/TUCK).

Yesterday, NBC announced the premiere dates for its ‘exciting’ summer schedule. Starting May 29, returning favourites such as AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, LAST COMIC STANDING and THE BIGGEST LOSER join the new Reality Dating Series AGE OF LOVE on the Peakock’s schedule. That click you hear in the background is the sound of theTVaddict switching off NBC until Fall 2008.

You’d think the fourth place network would try a little harder to keep viewers from flocking elsewhere. Here’s an idea. How about a night of cancelled shows? STUDIO 60, KIDNAPPED and THE BLACK DONNELLYS. Give us fans a chance for some closure.

Tired of all the controversy surrounding E! Online’s Save One Show Campaign? Why not check out BuzzSugar’s hilarious Stop One Show Poll. My vote goes to MEDIUM as theTVaddict won’t rest until every single Arquette is unemployed. Yes, you heard me David, you’re next.

Finally, in thisTVaddict’s opinion — the only acceptable winner on tonight’s episode of ACCEPTABLE TV should be Operation Kitten Calendar 2. Nothing says funny like super-model cats.

Forget ‘Acceptable’, it’s Simply FUNNY TV

Looking for a little a mid-day laugh break? Check out some of the hilarious clips on acceptable.tv. I challenge you to watch OPERATION KITTEN CALENDAR without laughing. Or if generic medical spoofs are more your medicine, check out MEDICAL HOSTPITAL. Seriously funny stuff and most definitely acceptable TV.

Full Disclosure: Acceptable TV did advertise on theTVaddict.com last month, but this post is in no way an advertisement. I simply find the mini-tv shows on the site really funny!

Acceptable TV Opens Huge for VH1

Jack Black’s ACCEPTABLE TV was a huge hit last Friday when it debuted on VH1. Hmmm… could there be a correlation between ACCEPTABLE TV’s success and the shameless ads they took out on theTVaddict.com? I wonder…

That said, check out a preview for one of this weeks mini-tv-shows (see clip above). Cirque Du Soleil meets CSI, pretty damn funny. ACCEPTABLE TV airs Friday at 10PM on VH1. To vote for what’s acceptable, head on over to acceptable.tv

Acceptable TV

We interrupt this web site for a brief commercial break. theTVaddict.com would like to extend a thank-you to its first official sponsor ACCEPTABLE TV. ACCEPTABLE TV, from the hilarious (and somewhat warped) mind of Jack Black, will change the way you watch television. With ACCEPTABLE TV, the power is in your hands.

Acceptable.TV is a TV show, a website, and a community. The TV show airs every Friday night on VH1 at 10pm. You can WATCH five episodes of short TV shows, and one show that YOU, the Acceptable.tv Community, made. On the website, you get to VOTE for two shows you’d like to see come back, as well as vote for one new show YOU made that you’d like to see on TV next week.

Frankly, it’s theTVaddict’s dream come true. I get to play TV network head honcho (7th HEAVEN, DONALD TRUMP — You’re Fired) without having to start in the mail room at William Morris. You can check out the shows by visiting acceptable.tv and be sure to tune in tonight at 10PM on VH1.
