In a recent interview with the MTV Movies Blog, VERONICA MARS herself, Kristen Bell pretty much put to rest a possible MARS movie saying, “There’s [rumored] talk of a movie one day. Maybe. Who knows? [But] we haven’t even discussed it.” To that I say, thank you Mrs. Bell for providing the TV Addict with some much needed closure. Between a SERENITY sequel, X-FILES and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, I can only spend so much time hoping my favorite TV shows find an afterlife on the big screen.
According to THE SUN, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star Andrea Bowen will be getting herself a new onscreen boyfriend when the show returns this fall. You know what Bowen, who plays Teri Hatcher’s daughter Julie could use instead of a boyfriend? Some acting lessons. Rory Gilmore she ain’t.
Today’s least surprising piece of news — the incomprehensible disaster of series known as JOHN FROM CINCINNATI has been officially cancelled. No word on how HBO’s going to make amends for wasting ten hours of our lives. But they can start by delivering on those promised DEADWOOD movies.
While theTVaddict.com isn’t one to toot our own horn. The Hollywood Reporter is, not surprisingly reporting that ABC has yet again yanked THE NINE off its schedule. Okay we’ll say it… we told you so!
Having just finishing the season (hopefully series) finale of HBO’s JOHN FRON CINCINNATI I’m left speechless. Did David Milch lose a bet? Was the entire series some sort of sick joke? A final screw you, greenlit by recently ousted network president Chris Albrecht? Seriously folks — someone, anyone, please tell me what the frak was going on in tonight’s finale (or the entire series for the matter.) Surely I’m not the only TV Addict who just didn’t get it.
After a fantastic week in Los Angeles and San Diego, the party (as my mom used to say upon my arrival home from camp) is officially over. The TV Addict is back home in Toronto (Canada) and all I’ve got to show for it — aside from tons of photos, stories and celebrity encounters — are the memories. Or to be more specific, recaps of the SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES panel (best panel ever!), HEROES, BATTLESTAR and much much more.
To start us off, here’s a photo from the TV Addict’s first ever surf lesson (Kudos to the photographer for managing to capture the one moment I actually stayed on the board!). While things like ‘coherent storytelling’ and ‘character development’ may not be JOHN FROM CINCINNATI’S strong suit — the show is good for one thing. It inspired me to want to learn how to surf! Who says TV isn’t good for something?
Six episodes into HBO’S JOHN FROM CINCINNATI, I have yet to decide whether I love the show or loathe it. One thing I do know — I still am clueless as to what exactly’s going on and the real deal with the mysterious John.
Speaking of clueless, over the weekend at the TCA Press Tour, Fox President Peter Liguori failed to acknowledge that last season of 24 had some serious issues claiming, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ Which begs the question, is it possible Mr. Liguori only watched the first four hours of last season? Fans and critics pretty much agree, it was all downhill from there.
And finally, how realistic (and entertaining) was Thursday’s premiere of MAD MEN? So much so that halfway through the episode, this TV Addict was ready to take up smoking. Drinking at work! Smoking on the job! Sexually harassing the women in the office! Boy did the 60’s look like fun. Who else can’t wait for next week’s episode?
JOHN FROM CINCINNATI
Raise your hand if have absolutely no idea what last night’s premiere of JOHN FROM CINCINNATI was about.
Raise your hand if you’re so confused by Papa Yost’s inexplicable ability to levitate himself off the ground that you may actually give this series another chance.
Raise your hand if you don’t even care what’s going on, but are now really inspired to learn how to surf.
2007 TONY AWARDS
Raise your hand if you’re annoyed that CBS didn’t pony up the money to broadcast last night’s Tony Awards in High Definition.
Raise your hand if you think SPRING AWAKENING is the most over-hyped Broadway musical ever and you don’t understand (because you’re not fourteen) why exactly watching teeangers embrace their sexuality has been hailed as the ’second-coming of the modern musical?
BIG LOVE
Raise your hand if you’re excited for tonight’s long awaited return of BIG LOVE?
Raise your hand if you actually started to raise you hand while reading this post.
Raise your hand if your co-workers are starting to stare.
Okay I’ll stop.
