Good News: A representative from Warner Home Video finally confirmed that EVERWOOD Season 2 will finally see the light of day on DVD. Bad News: That light of day won’t arrive until sometime in 2009. [Source]*
Good News: According to the CW, last night’s ONE TREE HILL delivered its best numbers in nearly two years. Bad News: Can this show get anymore depressing? Another hour like that last nights and this TV Addict is this close to seeing if Nanny Carrie makes house calls.
Good News: HOUSE returns to TV tonight with a bang. Bad News: Cameron and Chase, not so much.
*Thanks to all the of my fellow EVERWOOD Addicts who emailed me about this story. Nice to see that while one of our favorite shows may be gone, it’s far from forgotten.
1. NEW PROMO PHOTOS: While some may argue that this TV Addict needs to get outside more, I’m just going to go ahead and say it. New promo photos make me giddy! Not only do they signify that the Fall TV Season is just around the corner. But Hello!?!? Surely I’m not the only one who’s beginning to think that the fine looking doctors of Princenton-Plainsboro are starting to give the dysfunctional gang from Seattle Grace a run for their money.
2. AN EVERWOOD REUNION: Now admittedly, Michael Ausiello totally deserves to be tied to a chair and force fed season after season of ACCORDING TO JIM for his incredibly misleading title that immeditatly got me thinking, “Gregory Smith on BROTHERS & SISTERS!” But nonetheless, in accordance with my [FOR] EVERWOOD obsession, this TV Addict is stoked that showrunner Rina Mimoun has tapped the adorable Sarah Drew [Hannah] for what will hopefully turn into a recurring guest stint on the CW’s PRIVILEGED. And while on the subject of the CW’s other new drama. You know, the one that doesn’t feature that famous zip code. You heard it here first. PRIVILEGED is going to be the CW hit that nobody saw coming.

When this TV Addict tearfully last left EVERWOOD [on DVD], Colin’s fate was hanging in the balance.
Now, four years later, it is looking like fans who only experienced EVERWOOD courtesy of the magic of digital video disc will finally get the opportunity to find out what happens next. [Spoiler Alert] Buy Kleenex.
According to musician Will Derryberry, and confirmed by tvshowsondvd.com, Warner Home Video is currently in the midst of negotiating all of the music rights so that seasons two, three and four can make it to both DVD and theWB.com. Announced Derryberry on his blog yesterday, “SEVEN, and LONESOME will appear on the WB’s EVERWOOD.” Adding that season two will, “be available on the DVD and online download release.”

Is anyone else a big enough TV Addict to admit that they too totally missed EVERWOOD alum Sarah Drew’s guest spot as Art Director Sal Romano’s beard wife on Sunday’s second season premiere of MAD MEN? 
Thanks to The Watcher for the Tip!
Good News: Justin Hartley has officially signed on as a series regular for SMALLVILLE’s eighth and most likely final season. Bad New: SMALLVILLE has now officially officially run out of new ideas. [Source]
Good News: IN PLAIN SIGHT opened to a whopping 5.3 million viewers, USA’s best series bow since the second season premiere of the 4400 in 2005. Bad News: Which means fellow TV Addicts can expect even more generic dramas featuring female cop/lawyer/doctor protagonists that play by her own rules. [Source]
Good News: TERMINATOR, PUSHING DAISIES, FRINGE, CHUCK, HEROES and THE OFFICE Scribes [rumored] are all said to be presenting panels at this Summer’s Comic Con in San Diego. Bad News: Odds are good that they’ll all be on the same day, so you should probably start lining up right now. No really. It’s going to be madness!
Good News: This TV Addict has been lucky enough to get a sneak peak at the new online portal for theWB.com. Bad News: EVERWOOD and JACK & BOBBY are thus far no where to be found.
Good News: Michael Ausiello’s Senior Editor position has yet to be filled at TVGuide. Bad News: Clearly, TVGuide’s Editor-in-Chief Christy Tanner does not have her name set as a Google Alert and has completely missed my quasi-shameless campaign 
Great news EVERWOOD fans, the TV Addict’s all-time favorite brilliant-but-cancelled series will soon be returning to the small screen. Albeit a screen slightly smaller than what I’m used to.
This morning, the Warner Bros. Television Group announced the launch of TheWb.com, a premium, ad-supported, video-on-demand, interactive and personalized network. According to a press release sent out this morning:
“TheWB.com will feature full episodes from a dynamic lineup of programs that have shaped popular culture and inspired devoted followings over the past decade, including FRIENDS, SMALLVILLE, ONE TREE HILL, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ALL OF US, THE OC, GILMORE GIRLS, THE WAYANS BROS., VERONICA MARS, EVERWOOD, and ROSWELL among others to be announced”
And while we can only hope JACK & BOBBY, FELICITY and GROSSE POINTE are among the “others to be announced,” this TV Addict can’t help but applaud Warner Bros for giving fans the opportunity to re-discover their favorite shows online.
All that’s left is for Warner Bros. to take this TV Addict’s advice and release the shows on iTunes.
The TV Addict has just learned* that everybody’s favorite neighbor — Stephanie Niznik (Nina Feeny on EVERWOOD) has just replaced actress Judith Hoag in the CW’s fall pilot LIFE IS WILD. Not only does this casting change re-categorize LIFE IS WILD as a must watch, it sets up one really awkward situation. Is anyone else picturing what it would be like when Andy Brown’s ex-girlfriend (Dr. Linda Abbott) and current one cross paths in Africa? My money’s on Nina.
Thanks to loyal (and brilliant) reader Common Sense for the Tip!
Today at 4PM (est), the TV Addict will be interviewing EVERWOOD HEARTLAND star Treat Williams. If you’ve got any questions for America’s (okay, perhaps just my) favourite small town doctor, post away in the comments below.
There are two types of actors in Hollywood: Those who cringe at the very mention of the role that made them famous (see ANGEL’s David Boreanaz) and those who embrace it. Not surprisingly, EVERWOOD grad Emily VanCamp falls into the latter camp and is only too happy to reminisce about the show that put her on the map.
“It was devastating for all of us,” admits the actress — who spent the better part of four years in Utah while shooting the family-friendly saga, but has now returned to Los Angeles to join the ranks of the dysfunctional Walker clan on ABC’s BROTHERS & SISTERS— of EVERWOOD’s cancellation. “Right up until the 7th HEAVEN series finale, we all really believed we were coming back.”
Perhaps VanCamp took a bit of comfort upon hearing the collective groan issued by millions of fans when Dawn Ostroff, president of the fledgling CW network, announced that 7th HEAVEN would be moving to the new network, but EVERWOOD’s four-year run would perish along with the WB network.

If you’re even a semi-regular visitor to theTVaddict.com, you know how infrequently I discuss procedural dramas such as CSI and the eighteen LAW & ORDERS currently on the air. That said — did anyone else happen to tune into last night’s installment of LAW & ORDER: SVU? If so, did you catch EVERWOOD alum Sarah Drew (aka, the adorable Hannah) making her LAW & ORDER debut? First Emily VanCamp, now Sarah Drew — does anyone else think Merrilyn Gann (Rose Abbott) would make one fantastic New York City Judge? Television Execs take note. Where EVERWOOD alumni go, this TV addict (and its legion of EVERWOOD supporters) will follow.
