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.

With the exception of the AMERICAN IDOL results show [which let’s face it, can be watched in about fifteen minutes courtesy of my trusty PVR], there’s slim pickings on TV tonight. Which means it’s time for another installment of May We Suggest: TV on DVD. [How many hours until HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER returns?]

Tonight’s theme is “Brilliant But Cancelled” and features an eclectic mix shows we wish were still on the air.

Our evening kicks off at 8PM with FOX’s ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, followed by our behind-the-scenes Hollywood hour at 9PM courtesy of Jay Mohr’s ACTION and Darren Star’s GROSSE POINTE. 10PM brings us a double helping of Aaron Sorkin. As we press play on the under-appreciated gem that was SPORTS NIGHT, finishing off the hour with a condensed version of STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. All the Sorkin greatness minus the parts where he gets too preachy and condescending.

In an effort to stave off March Madness. No, not the Basketball Tournament, the next pesky few weeks where us TV Addicts go stir crazy as we anxiously await for the return of Jim and Pam, Meredith and Derek and the Walker Family. This TV Addict will be periodically offering up TV on DVD Theme nights. Tonight’s theme: Nerd, err sorry… Genre TV.

Watch as this TV Addict lures the STAR TREK set away from WORLD OF WARCRAFT with three simple words: Seven of Nine. Actually, while no woman in the history of television wore a tighter space suit than Jeri Ryan, we actually thought STAR TREK VOYAGER was TREK’s weakest incarnation. So at 8PM why not enjoy the best TREK has to offer with the perennially underrated STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE. Followed by Joss Whedon’s brilliant-but-cancelled FIREFLY [We suggest the episode where THE OC’s Melinda Clarke plays a space madame]. Finishing off the night at 10PM with the cult classic that simply refuses to die BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

While this news will most likely come as little surprise to fans of this web site, the TV Addict is addicted to buying TV on DVD.

Now generally — this problem is one that I’ve managed to control. Years in TVAA [TV Addicts Anonymous] combined with the recent realization that the money I’ve spent on TV boxed sets could have probably bought me a 50″ flat screen [or a house!] has curbed my spending habits immensely.

That said, vacationing in America changes everything.

Take this morning for instance. Against my better judgement, I took a ride over to the local TARGET after reading online that the third season of THE OFFICE was on sale for only $19.99!

And that my friends was mistake number one. Thirty minutes later this TV Addict left the store with a far heavier shopping bag, and one helluva lighter wallet.

BONES Seasons 1 & 2, THE OFFICE Seasons 1 & 3, DEXTER Season 1, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Season 2, The Best of LARRY SANDERS, THE OC Season 4 and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Season 1.

They were all there and they were all on sale for $19.99. I run a web site called theTVaddict.com — Can you really blame me?

Got a great Boxing Day Deal to share from either Canada or the US? Post away and share the post—holiday TV on DVD love! With no end in sight to this incredibly depressing writer’s strike, DVD may be all we have to get us through the next few months.

Got a SMALLVILLE fan in your life? Why not pick up Season 1, Season 2, Season 4 and Season 5 for a mere $14.99 a piece! That’s a whopping 75% off!

“A long time ago… we used to be friends… but I… haven’t thought of you lately at all… because the CW cancelled you.”

Okay, so that’s not exactly how the Dandy Warhols theme song for VERONICA MARS went. But courtesy of theTVaddict.com, you can now remember your old friend Veronica forever.
