The TV Addict 

By C.T.

Let me say right off the bat that I’m a Brucas fan from way back, and find Leyton the most snore-inducing TV pair since DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES Mike and Susan. For those uninitiated in the language of fangirls (and boys), Brucas (Brooke & Lucas) and Leyton (Lucas and Peyton) are two of ONE TREE HILL’s founding couples. Come fall, the guy both girls loved will reportedly be exiting the canvas… with Peyton in tow.

And I say “good riddance.”

Message Body: Ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead!
Chad [Michael Murray] and Hilarie [Burton] officially leave ONE TREE HILL. How will we make it through each week without Murray’s crinkled face, pursed lips, and declaration of love for someone?  It’s pretty bad/sad when your acting actually makes Annie on 90210 look like an Emmy winner.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Just how funny is tonight’s installment of THE BIG BANG THEORY which this TV Addict had the pleasure of seeing at Paley Fest ‘09? Here’s all you need to know: Hookers! Hotels! and Howard (Wolowitz)

CHUCK (8PM NBC, CityTV in Canada)
In the season 2 finale, yes NBC, you heard us correctly — SEASON finale — Chuck must spring into action on Ellie and Awesome’s wedding day to save his sister from evil Fulcrum forces and Steve Jobs wannabe Ted Roark (Chevy Chase).

GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) returns. Her mission: To liven up tonight’s been-there-done-that rivalry between Chuck and Nate for Blair’s affection.

HEROES (9PM NBC, 10PM Global in Canada)
It’s Nathan versus Sylar in this third season finale and we have a feeling that unlike season one, a parking meter isn’t gonna do Sylar in (or at least we hope it won’t.)

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
CASTLE (10PM ABC)
The death of a socialite leads to Beckett attending a charity ball as Castle’s date. Talk about finding a way to turn a frown upside down!

CHUCK (8PM ABC)
Scott Bakula returns as Chuck’s dad, who finds himself in need of rescue. As if that weren’t enough, Chevy Chase also puts in an appearance and Morgan becomes a Buy More outcast.

GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
If Serena returns from Spain still moping about Dan, I will personally slap her. Hard. Meanwhile, Blair might just prove herself the self-sabotage queen when she makes a secret pact behind new beau Nate’s back. And expect mugging and eye-rolling galore when Dan winds up having to literally serve his rich peers.

NEW & NOTABLE:
THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS)
Yes, it’s a rerun, but it also offers valuable help in solving one of life’s biggest mysteries as Sheldon tries to figure out gift-giving etiquette.

In what can only be construed as a sign that theTVaddict.com has officially hit the big time, we just received our first ever phone call from a mysterious ‘inside source.’ Seriously Ausiello, watch your back!

Turns out that our inside source, who, for the sake of anonymity we’re going to nickname ‘Raven’ is none to pleased that ONE TREE HILL star Chad Michael Murray has decided to take his contract negotiations public (see above YouTube video). So much so that he (or she) went out of their way to inform this TV Addict that it’s not at all uncommon for an actor to use the media in an effort to bolster his bargaining position while in the midst of heated contract negotiations.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
24 (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Okay, Mr. Bad Guy, it’s one thing to crash planes and threaten the people of the United States. But when you start trash-talkin’ the First Family, you’ve gone too far! Expect retribution to begin… sometime in the next 10 hours.

HEROES (9PM NBC, 10PM on Global in Canada)
Paintings predict a dire future, Sylar meets a guy with abilities he wants to use… wait, this is the storyline that was going to be different and exciting and make everything better again, right? Um, is it working?

THE BIG BANG THEORY (9:30PM CBS)
Christine Baranski swings by as Leonard’s mom. Past experience has taught us that maternal visits to any sitcom character usually wind up disasterously. Meanwhile, is it just us, or is CBS trying to kill this show by just running it whenever the heck they have a gap to fill?

NEW & NOTABLE:
GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
Seeing as The CW is blowing off Obama’s talk, I bet they wish they had something new to offer folks as an alternative! Instead, we get a rerun of this year’s snowflake ball.

Lucas and Peyton and Brooke… oh my!

As many of you know, I only last season jumped aboard the ONE TREE HILL express, having years ago watched the pilot and dismissed the show as not my cup of tea. Following the four-year fast-forward, I tuned in again… and was instantly hooked. So much so that I went back to watch from the beginning (thank you, Netflix!) to see how we got from there to here. And along the way, one thing became abundantly clear to me.

Lucas belongs with Brooke.

While this TV Addict is pretty confident the CW isn’t about to pitch it this way, here goes nothing… On Monday’s brand new episode of ONE TREE HILL, find out if the artist formerly known as Dawson Leery (special guest star James Van Der Beek) is still interested in turning Lucas’ book into a movie after this week’s ridiculous Chad Michael Murray penned episode!

Message Body: … why did someone let Chad Michael Murray write last night’s episode of ONE TREE HILL? Why can’t actors just stick to acting?

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.
