The TV Addict has a secret.
I’ve been cheating on Homer Simpson with Kevin Pollak.
What’s worse is we met online, it’s happened more than once and oh yeah… did I mention I can’t stop?
Our relationship started a few Sundays back when word got out (via twitter, naturally) that an old friend, Matthew Perry was dropping by Kevin Pollak’s new chat show.
Now I know what you’re thinking, Kevin Pollak has a chat show?
As it would turn out, he does.

Seeing as the networks seem completely unable to launch a show that isn’t either part of a successful franchise or ripped-off from the English, we’d like to humbly suggest they take a look at the British sitcom GREEN WING, which can currently be found on Hulu.com. Fortunately, you, the blessed readers of this site, don’t have to wait for one of the American networks to do a watered-down version as we’re pointing you toward the original and suggesting it as a fantastic way to fill the void left by summer reruns and your empty DVR que.

On day 3 of theTVaddcit’s Summer Survival Guide, we offer an intriguing web series from the folks at koldcast.tv titled AFTER JUDGMENT.
Missing that confused feeling you often get after an episode of LOST concludes? You know, the one where you say, “Dude, I have no idea what’s going on… but I can’t wait for the next episode!” Well, the web series AFTER JUDGMENT offers that same befuddlement in 3-4 minute segments. Trust us when we say that by the end of episode five, when a lead character says, “Yeah, I know what you’re thinking”, your response will be, “Really? Because I have no clue what to think!” And that’s part of what makes this show so addictive.
Revealing too much about the plot would be to ruin the pleasure that comes from letting the story unfold in its own extremely unusual way. What initially seems a confusing and perhaps not-very-well explained premise quickly reveals itself to be the kind of genius that borders on madness. Time means nothing in the world of AFTER JUDGMENT, and that proves to be true in more than one sense. Events unfold and then are revisited, often only an episode later, in a manner which shows them in a completely new light.

In Day 2 of theTVaddict.com’s Summer Survival Guide, we take a look at affordable, brilliant-but-cancelled TV on DVD that are a must own for TV Addicts everywhere.
KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
Before THE HANGOVER propels small screen star Bradley Cooper into the big screen leading man that he so richly deserves to be, why not be the quasi-obnoxious guy/gal who can say, “I remember him when!” by checking out his 13 episode stint as brilliant bad boy chef Jack Bourdain, in the short-lived FOX series that took us behind-the-scenes of the zany and unpredictable world of New York Eateries. A behind the scenes that we should also mention features an unforgettable supporting cast including Nicholas Brendon, John Francis Daley, Jaimie King, Bonnie Somerville, Owain Yeoman, John Cho, Frank Langella, Sam Pancake and guest appearances by John Larroquette and Michael Vartan. (Only $13.99 on Amazon)

If you’re anything like this TV Addict (read: hopelessly addicted to television), you may have found yourself with an alarming amount of free time on your hands since last Thursday — the day our beloved television season officially came to a close.
Deep breath, don’t panic, September is just around the corner. Or so we keep telling ourselves. Because the unfortunate reality of the situation is that September is in fact, not just around the corner. Which is why theTVaddict.com is going to spend the next few days offering up our “Summer Survival Guide.” Alternatives to the painful mix of reality TV, reruns and third-rate miniseries/ movies the major networks are trying to pass off as entertainment.
But before we get into those alternatives which include the worlds of TV on DVD, books and online, we first thought we should offer up five reason why you may not want to cancel your cable just yet.
WEEDS [Showtime, June 8]
Mary Louise Parker, America’s sexiest and arguably most irresponsible mother is back! And while critics and discerning fans have been quick to proclaim that the Botwin’s clans move to the border was a mistake of shark jumping proportions, WEEDS (alongside HBO’s ENTOURAGE, 30 ROCK and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER) remain to this day one of the only comedies that without fail, always leaves us jonesin’ for more. Also this summer on Showtime: NURSE JACKIE (June 8th)
